ELV hates to go all EaterLA on you, but his staff thought you’d like to see some snaps of what’s going on with the construction of Central (pronounced sen-TRAL) over at Caesars Palace. Expect this stylish café (pronounced ka-FAY) — replacing the old Augustus Café near the Caesars’ check-in desks) — to redefine the hotel coffee shop, featuring food from D.C.’s finest French chef —  Michel Richard (pronounced MEE-shel rish-ARD) — and to open sometime in September.

ELV suspects that, in food and appearance, it will greatly resemble Richard’s  original Central in downtown Washington (D. C. not Connecticut)…and that’ll be just peachy keen with us.
