Caesars Palace

Caesars Palace Overview

A tribute to Roman opulence, Caesars Palace opened in 1966 as a destination for celebrities and high rollers. Periodic expansion adhered to the theme while sparing a garden of cypresses, statues, and pools buffering the resort from The Strip. Marble, gilt, and crystal still set the tone as thousands troop through. Gladiators, Cleopatra look-alikes, and toga-clad beauties wander throughout. A spectacle of Roman-style grandeur featuring cypresses, palm trees, marble columns, and classical statues, the 4.5-acre Garden of the Gods supplies four pools and two 12-person spa tubs set amid lovely statues. The focal point is the round, 10,000-square-foot Palace Pool containing a rotunda in which stands an outsized, gilded statue of Caesar. The rectangular Neptune Pool provides 5,000 square feet of lap-swimming space. Screened from the others, the narrow, 150-foot-long Venus Pool welcomes topless sunbathers. The fourth pool was added in 2004. Cabanas with television, telephone, ceiling fan, and padded lounges are available for rent. By going to the Caesars Palace desk near luggage carousel Number 1, guests arriving at the airport may check into their rooms while waiting for luggage to arrive.

Caesars Palace Activities

Situated at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road, the Roman Plaza serves as a vibrant welcome center to Caesars Palace. It offers an array of dining and entertainment choices, and is accessible to guests entering from the Boulevard's pedestrian bridges. The Colosseum Way is an expansive pedestrian gateway, leading visitors from the Las Vegas Boulevard entrance to the Colosseum, The Forum Shops at Caesars, and other attractions including an Elton John boutique and the porte cochere, refaced with a classic pediment and Corinthian columns, similar to those of the Palace Tower. Added casino space includes the Palace court high-limit slot casino and the Seahorse Lounge. The Colosseum at Caesars Palace is a 4,100-seat theater that is home to a variety of headline performers. Under a sky-painted ceiling whose lighting varies from morning to evening, The Forum Shops offer shopping, dining, and entertainment amid a depiction of an ancient Roman neighborhood. Entertainment includes a sound-light-laser show featuring Roman gods at one giant fountain and, at another, a fire-water-smoke show during which mythical Atlantis rises and falls in a 50,000-gallon aquarium while outsized, animatronic characters struggle to rule the island.
