caesars Review LORIS

Caesars Palace is the ultimate choice in ridiculously campy Las Vegas kitsch – and travelers love it. The hotel’s theme is ripped straight from the Julius Caesar’s Rome, with columns, marble gods and goddesses, plus a toga-clad wait staff serving cocktails on the casino floor. And it’s not lacking in entertainment options either: Guests love the sprawling casino floor and the hundreds of designer outlets found at the Forum Shops, plus the plethora of dining venues. The Colosseum at Caesars Palace – a concert venue with regular acts like Celine Dion, Rod Stewart and Jerry Seinfeld – is another popular perk. While visitors love all the hotel’s amenities, they do warn that travelers should be aware of additional charges for early check-in and the resort fee. You’ll find Caesars mid-Strip, nestled between the Bellagio and the Mirage.

Guest Rooms

Caesars Palace guest rooms are located in five towers – Roman, Forum, Palace, Augustus and Octavius (six if you include the “boutique” Nobu Hotel). Roman Tower rooms are the budget option and close to the casino but their neutral decor, described as reflecting the vision of Caesars Palace founder Jay Sarno, has not changed much in 40 years. Forum and Palace rooms are a significant upgrade for only a modest increase in cost. Augustus and Octavius rooms are newer still, and high rollers have their choice of opulent suites, penthouses and villas.
