Caesars Palace, Casino hotel on Las Vegas Strip, United States
Caesars Palace is a luxury casino hotel on the west side of the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. Its pale stone facade has dense rows of dark rectangular windows between vertical columns, topped by red rooflines and a central pediment inscribed "CAESARS PALACE" in gold letters above a circular medallion. Two domed roofs sit above the entrance, and a lower complex with arched windows, red awnings, striped columns and turquoise roofs stands at the edge of a body of water.
Jay Sarno founded the hotel in 1966, establishing a new standard for luxury in Las Vegas by integrating elements from ancient Roman architecture and mythology. Since then, the property has been repeatedly expanded and redesigned while maintaining its classical character and adding modern facilities.
The resort houses Forum Shops, designed as a recreation of Roman marketplaces where 160 stores offer fashion, jewelry, and other upscale goods. Visitors experience a theatrical setting with changing artificial sky and animated fountain scenes that evoke the feeling of an ancient city center.
The property includes seven swimming pools, a full-service spa, numerous restaurants serving international cuisines, and a gaming area with over 1,200 slot machines and many tables. Visitors can navigate through air-conditioned indoor spaces, though walking distances between areas are often longer than they initially appear.
