Already one of the most iconic resorts in the world, Caesars Palace is not resting on its laurels. Instead, it embarks on a multimillion-dollar renovation of the original main entrance, main casino and porte-cochère to create an extravagant entryway, redesigned gaming areas and a new lobby bar. Construction began this month, with most of the project set to be complete by New Year’s Eve.
“Caesars Palace brought a sense of grandeur to the Las Vegas Strip when it was built in 1966,” said Karyn Steenkamp, VP, design & construction, Caesars Entertainment. “To continue that legacy, the resort aims to create a stunning new arrival experience fit for a Caesar that complements the iconic design elements of the existing hotel lobby.”
The main entrance to the property will be entirely rebuilt from the ground up resulting in an arrival experience fit for a Caesar, matching the glamour of the property’s iconic hotel lobby. Once completed, guests will be welcomed by a dramatic and soaring dome and barreled ceiling over a stunning 15-ft. tall statue of Augustus Caesar. The project also includes two new state-of-the-art gaming pits, which will flank the enhanced entrance, a new lobby bar and a renovation of the property’s legendary domed table games floor.
“Caesars Palace set the standard for luxury when it first opened in 1966 and has become one of the most iconic resorts in the world. Over the years, the center-Strip resort has continued to enhance its amenities and offerings, creating a unique destination where every guest feels like a Caesar,” Steenkamp said.
During construction from July-December, the following changes will occur:
- Main valet off Las Vegas Blvd. will accommodate Caesars Rewards Diamond and Seven Star members only
- The Colosseum valet (ground floor of the Caesars Palace self-parking garage off Frank Sinatra Drive) will accommodate all valet guests
- Rideshare pick-up and drop-off will be relocated to the exit doors next to Vanderpump Cocktail Garden
- Express hotel check-in/checkout kiosks will be placed at all available entrances
