Description
Just as Rome wasn't built in a day, Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip continues to reinvent itself and redefine luxury. Built in 1966, the hotel-casino never falls behind the times and instead raises the bar for what visitors can expect when they travel to Las Vegas.The legendary casino suits the tastes of high-rollers, celebrities or anyone with cash to spend. The race & sports book is open and inviting with huge screens broadcasting all of the sporting action. There is even a sexy Pussycat Dolls-themed gaming area, where go-go dancers perform in bronzed cages as games are dealt by buxom burlesque babes to gamblers sitting in leopard-spotted chairs.In a private enclave off the casino floor is Las Vegas' largest poker room, measuring 14,000 square feet. Host to NBC's "Heads Up" Poker tournament, the non-smoking room includes 29 live tables in the main area along with an adjacent tournament room. The decor is fit for an art gallery: Vintage LeRoy Neiman paintings line the entranceway, evoking memories of old school Vegas; iconic images by sports photographer Neil Leifer, including his famous shot of boxer Muhammad Ali's 1965 victory over Sonny Liston, decorate the main room (more can be seen in the Neil Leifer Gallery on the casino level of the Augustus Tower); and portraits of Caesars' own poker aficionados surround the tournament room. Players at Caesars are treated like champions, with table side food service and massages.
The hotel rooms in Caesars' five towers -- Forum, Roman, Centurion, Palace and Augustus -- are as spacious and lavish as any palace accommodations should be, with marble bathrooms and several amenities among the top-rate offerings.Located just off the lobby, the Augustus Tower is Caesars' newest. French Chef Guy Savoy's restaurant, two VIP lounges with private check-in for high-end players, three indoor wedding chapels, the relaxing Qua Baths & Spa and boisterous Color salon by celebrity stylist Michael Boychuck, all hold court here.A sixth tower, the 665-room, 23-story Octavius Tower, will open at Caesars Palace in 2009. With this expansion, Caesars will also add a ballroom facility and three new swimming pools to its Garden of the Gods pool complex. Caesars Palace pool is temporarily closed until Spring 2009 to accommodate the expansion. Patio seating for Rao's, an award-winning Southern Italian restaurant from New York's East Harlem, overlooks the 4.5-acre pool complex, which also features an outdoor wedding facility. Inside the hotel, Rao's has an indoor patio resembling New York's Jefferson Park with seating that spills over into a common area surrounding a fountain. Located near the convention rooms and a slight distance from any gaming, the common area provides the ideal atmosphere for hotel guests to relax, enjoy a cup of coffee or read the newspaper.
