Caesars Palace Hotel, Las Vegas

There are 2419 rooms in the hotel. All 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. Standard rooms in the new tower are done in the sleek, unfussy neutrals that are all the rage, plus whirlpool tubs, marble and wood sinks, and little flat screen TVs in the bathrooms. If you like elbow room, it's worth it. If you are looking for old-time Caesars romance, ask for rooms with a Greco-Roman theme (some have classical sculptures in niches); furnishings tend to neoclassic styles; Roman columns, pilasters, and pediments are common. Some may still have four-poster beds with mirrored ceilings. Some newer rooms have floor-to-ceiling windows that offer a hypnotizing panoramic view and, better still, older ones have lavish tubs in the middle of the room

Caesars Palace Hotel has a well-deserved reputation for superior in-house restaurants. There are quite a few in the hotel, plus dining facilities in the forum shopping area. All are highly recommended. The hotel's sushi restaurant, Hyakumi, its Southwestern-themed Mesa Grill, and a replica of New York's famous Rao's are described in chapter 5, as are the hotel's food court and buffets.

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 Vega's 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.

Caesars Palace Hotel offers all the business facilities to its guests travelling on business and offers them meeting rooms, conference rooms and business center.
