254 reviews for Caesars Palace
Have decided to write reviews for all the places I've stayed in Vegas, but be warned that my stay here was over a year ago, so things may have changed.
I was apprehensive about coming here because I've heard things about how campy and outdated they are. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. Yes, there's an awful fountain of naked muses in the lobby right when you enter, and there are similarly bad imitations of Classical sculpture everywhere in the hotel, but it's Vegas, so that's to be expected! I was there for a conference and my employer had already pre booked everything. The check in staff were very pleasant and offered a tempting upgrade to a better room for a mere $30 a day. I waffled, then agreed to the offer. When I got to my room, I was stunned--what a great bargain! It wasn't the largest room in the world, but it was around 500 sq. ft, VERY ample space. The decor did not make my eyes hurt. The bathroom was huge and had a TV as well as a jacuzzi tub. And it only came for $30 more! I slept very well--it was quiet and the air smelled clear (rare in Vegas).
The conference center was also a pleasant surprise. Very well appointed and large. It was hard to get to from my rooms though. And it was so big I got lost.
The casino was average--seemed a bit empty, but the economy had just tanked when I was there (October 2008). The one restaurant we went to, Rao's was good but pricey. I think they were trying to capitalize on their reputation as one of the hardest restaurants to book in New York. I'm still very much an MGM Grand fan when it comes to restaurants, though. Maybe I am limited, but it just seems easier and more dependable, since they've managed to amass just about every noteworthy chef on the face of the earth over there.
My colleagues were a bit annoyed with the catering staff at this hotel for our business luncheon, and I must say that they were pretty rude to her regarding her gluten allergy. But that aside, I had a very nice experience here, certainly better than the Venetian, which is supposedly a better hotel.
Sounds like Harrah's may have bludgeoned its bondholders and blown out its cost structure enough to keep the multi-property CRM behemoth from having to put any of the golden gooses -- Caesars Palace foremost amongst them -- on the block. As a consumer, I suppose that's a good thing, because that monstrous combined inventory pool, and the infrastructure and tactics to shuffle loyal customers amongst its properties like pawns on a chessboard, is what lets them comp rooms even for occasional visitors like me.
The rooms at Caesars Palace must be highly variable, because my $500/night room looked like a Motel 6, but clearly that can't be representative.
It's nightclub Pure will of course not be able to compete head-on with Tryst/XS, but it's still the Tuesday night spot and worth stopping by once just to check it off the list.
Poolside brunch is fit for a...Caesar. Legendary.
This palace was just too darn big for this girl. We stayed in the palace tower for three nights for a bachelorette party. Let me premise by saying we have a compted room so it was very nice for that reason.
The best part of the hotel is their pool area and also their Augustus Cafe which had prompt service and great late night eats ( Club Sandwhich and Caeser salad!!!). Housekeeping was friendly and did a good job cleaning.
CONS:
1) We got a room with two bathrooms thinking that would be helpful for four girls. Nah. The problem is that there is one big connecting shower. Whats the point of that? We cant shower together, ew. So I found that pointless and we should have maybe stayed at the Augustus tower if we had known this.
2) The pillows are BAD. Probably as old as the hotel.
3) The room was huge but seriously, the beds look miniature in this room. They were two double beds, and seriously looked like Full size. Not even a queen.
4) Half the room was empty. It could use some furniture. Also the handles to some of the furniture were broken.
5) Older crowd, families and lots of weddings. Not really the right kind of scene for a bachelorette party. Venus pool was lame. It is not owned by Club Pure anymore, and its basically a Euro-Topless pool now with bad music playing. Boring.
The worst part is that every time we called down for anything either A) they enver answered B) transferred to another person who never picked up. So annoying.
I probably wont stay here again by choice. With the prices they charge for their rooms, Im shocked they are so packed.

Just about the rooms:
We stayed in the new tower, though I had never been to Caesars Palace it was by far the most beautiful room I've stayed in. The layout was spacious, complete with a large bathroom, table and chairs, huge TV station - the room just felt sooo large. The furnishings were amazing, chic, modern yet with that classical feel, clean, not too clustered and really tasteful. It is by far the nicest room I've been in. The bathroom was large, had tons of amenties, a great shower and tub and I really felt pampered just to be there. The mini fridge was stocked with deluxe things as well, yet another perk. Overall it was clean, amazing, comfy and made me feel really pampered!

Great time, great people, well recommended
I get that Vegas hotels are ginormous with multiple towers, but I really don't like having to wander through the entire casino just to get to the elevators that will bring me up to my room. Especially while drunk. That is my only complaint :)
Thank you to the front desk for bringing me not just one, but two types of cough drops when I lost my voice from partying too much.
We were upgraded to some sort of suite that is either meant for a single couple or a group of kinky individuals. I'm not sure why you would place 2 bathrooms in a hotel room, but have them jointed by a huge shower with glass doors. It kind of defeats the purpose of having 2 bathrooms, no?

This Review is strictly for the Augustus Tower and not for other rooms or services.
It is hard to rate or generalize such a big hotel so I'll try to be fare.
Staying in the new towers is extremely worth your money!
Why?
- It is still cheaper than Wynn, Bellagio & venetian
- You get a bigger room, very specious, open & fresh, clean carpet, extremely comfortable beds!
- Awesome contemporary design & style, very impressing furniture & vibe
- Full HD flat screen TV's (in the bathroom too)
- Nice mini bar & safe
- Best view in Vegas of the Bellagio fountain & Eiffel tower at Paris (Ask for right side or you'll be stuck w/boring view)
- Great efficient service
- Best SPA in Vegas: Big, fresh, relaxing best experience I ever had!
- Efficient room service & cleaning team
- The best Valet (driving them crazy 6 times a day! They already knew me by my full name!)
- Forum shops are great!
- Centrally located
- Great bars!
Also:
- We lost our keys, got exchanged, had security escorting us to the room
- Ordered one extra room across ours out of the blue (needed privacy) no problem!
- We were charged $80 for few calls from our room! Check out rep waved it for me!
- Any requests we had were accommodated
No complaints, a truly 5 star experience in Vegas!
Boy, I miss those days!
Yalla bye!

Just got back from Vacation. Stayed in the palace tower deluxe room 2 nights.
Pros:
1. Property was well maintained and clean
2. Comfortable bed and well maintained rooms
3. Great food court.
4 Pool was awesome, with comfortable chairs.
5. Service was good - Cocktail waitresses and pool waitress were attentive.
Cons:
1. Their room pillows were less than comfprtable.
2. Ventilation in the casino (especially the older part) could be improved. Smoke oder was noticeable. But I can't complain that much because I was smoking.
3. Due to the season, the towers blocked the sun at the pool until maybe 4:00. The waitress says this does not happen in the summer.
4. Our wait at check-in and waits in the food court were a little long.
I will be back for sure. Lounging at the pool was the highlight of the trip.

Hmmm.. I'm really on the fence about this .. I've stayed at Caesars Palace many times, even when I was not at the legal age of gambling. My family is a big fan of Caesars Palace and I completely agree with their perspective. Absolutely gorgeous! They supply a great fine dinning experience with an extensive array of restaurants through out the casino and Forum shops. The in-room dinning is top notch.
So why don't they deserve five stars? For starters, PURE Nightclub is d-bag central. Avoid it; they don't even clean their floors, muggy and filthy. Our lovely suite with a great view was marvelous, but what the hell?! My dual standing shower is missing a knob? And when we asked for more towels, they brought up three. *face palm* In addition, I noticed that the week we stayed had vast amount of older men, mid-late 40s. Pass!
Why don't I give them three stars then? Astoundingly, their concierge service was superb. We were able to check-in inside the Diamond's Lounge, skipping the horrendous line. When Lulu and I had a sore throat, they brought cough drops up to our room. It wasn't free, of course, but to have someone run around Vegas running errands while you're not feeling well is a bonus for staying here. And... then... there's the bidet!! I am in love with the bidet. For those that don't know what a bidet is - it's similar to a toilet, except it's intended for washing the genitalia, inner buttocks, and anus. No other hotels/casinos that I've stayed at have a bidet. Maybe it's only a suite thing? However, I've stayed at the Venetian's suite, and there's no bidet. Failed.
I would definitely stay at Caesars Palace again, but if you're aiming for a younger crowd, visit The Mirage.

If you have the money to stay in one of the suites. I highly recommend you do so. Stayed in one about 2 years ago and I was blown away. Comfortable king sized bed, cool couch, view of the topless pool, dual head shower, and large jacuzzi tub. Everything you could need is in the hotel itself. You never really have to leave. Tons of great restaurants to choose from. Bobby Flay has one here and it was great, pricey for sure, but great food. Most of the time they have top notch performers. Saw Elton John, but missed Jerry Seinfeld. The gaming is a little rich for my blood. The Forum shops have the best shopping in Vegas. There is a Diesel store. Nuff said.
Be prepared to lay down some coin during your stay, but hey, you only live once.

I was in Las Vegas two weekends in a row. The first weekend, I stayed at Caesar's Palace with some girl friends. The second weekend, I stayed at Planet Hollywood, also on the strip. After comparing the two, I would give Caeser's a D and Planet Hollywood an A+. The service at Caeser's was not good ( I waited an hour and a half for something I called down to the front desk for), the room was old, the tv was junky, and the decor itself was sub par-not to mention i paid a pretty penny to stay there for 3 nights. I paid a lot less $ for my stay at Planet Hollywood and it was absolutely amazing compared to Caeser's Palace.

We stayed at Caesar's Las Vegas on August 17-18, 2009. Our company was there for the TPP expo.
Around 9am in the morning on August 18th, while we were sleeping, 2+ strangers entered our room with a working key. The strangers saw our things and walked out muttering something about "someone's already in there". A few minutes later they enter again and then leave again. About 10 minutes later we get a call from the front desk (her name was Naisha) telling us that somehow our room was marked as checked out - which was alarming considering we haven't even woken up or checked out in any way. So we told her we were indeed still checked in and also requested a late checkout.
We thought things were okay now... but about 1 hour later, another group of people entered the room with another working key. This made us really upset! We expressed our concerns during checkout but was only offered a verbal apology. I've stayed at many other hotels on the strip before and I must say this was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. Had we been comped in some way that would at least have made up for it, but we weren't.
Caesars is overpriced and overrated! Palazzo and Encore are my favorites.

Class, class, class! This is what comes to mind the second I step in here.
I haven't stayed at the hotel but everything I've done here has been spectacular.
If you, like myself, are a sport's fan, I suggest catching a game at their sportsbook. You can place a wide variety of bets and if you do so you get a couple of comped drinks. The wait staff comes around often and their food court isn't too far away so you can snack away.
The Forum Shops are also a must see/check out while you're there. Their water show is pretty sweet as well.

I used to like this place but my last trip was an industrial strength colon cleansing.
CASINO
Let's start with how the casino has effectively become the United Federation of Douchebaggery on the strip. Many years ago, Caesar's was the sh-t & it only took $10k to be treated right. Then one day, all the hosts up & left, taking their high rollers to Mandalay Bay & Caesar's Palace was effectively f-cked. Caesar's had always been pretty dependent on its VIPs & this exodus rocked the place to its core. With few whales available to sustain the revenue column on the balance sheets, the joint was forced to re-jigger its image. That's when you started to see all that advertising on Los Angeles billboards for the milquetoast Venus Pool Party & that ridiculous TV show, "Caesars 24/7", positioning the resort as a purported "hip & cool" place to stay & play.
Apparently this appeal to the young & infinitely stupid worked: The tables are packed with guys that have that "I'm a Maxim magazine subscriber" look, playing 6-5 Blackjack on $10/$1000 tables packed ass-cheek to ass-cheek. One Federline-lookalike got so excited over his $10 double down win I thought he was gonna up & cash his chips in for a Red Lobster gift card right then & there. Don't be surprised to see at least one dipsh-t thinking he's the shizz & splitting tens: This always has me in stitches because when the dealer bellows "SPLITTING TENS", all eyes lock onto that table for a brief second as if f-cking TeddyKGB himself just opened a package of Oreos. Then everyone realizes that there's no way this alcoholic asshat with a tribal arm tattoo is doing anything other than being a Grade-A chode.
And then there's the gold diggers crawling all over black chip players like a fart in a spacesuit. Yes, the ghetto 'Paris Hilton' skank parade here is quite possibly at the root of why Caesar's has degenerated from a once proud denizen of upper class well-dressed high rollers to wife-beater-wearing lowlifes that adorn their Ford F150's trailer hitches with "truck balls". The soulless atmosphere of Caesar's casino is a side effect of all the 21-year-old-lip-gloss-laden brats trouncing about half-naked in this biohazard of a casino. You can sense these self-important harpies leeching the joy out of everyone else in the pit as they shout intoxicated epithets at each other & spill Red Bull & Vodka drinks all over on their "You say bitch like it's a bad thing" tank tops. If they breathe on you, look into getting treated for gonorrhea.
Take my advice: Even if you completely disregard the horrendous atmosphere, anyone that plays Blackjack here is a masochist. Putting aside the obnoxious number of 6:5 tables here, the table rules that Caesars has on their 6-deck shoes are possibly the worst on the strip. It's indicative of how they're clearly targeting dumb & dumber. Check http://wizardofodds.co... for ongoing playing conditions but in general, I've never seen a good game at Caesars outside of the high limit tables.
FORUM SHOPS
What's there to say about this Roman bastion of commerce? The walkways are loaded with f-cktards that wear faded clothing labeled "Hollister", "Affliction", & "USC Football". Oh, by the way, in case it wasn't clear, buying anything here is about as enjoyable as a prostate exam from Rosie O'Donnell but what were you expecting? Going to a 4-star hotel's shopping mall & being surprised at the craptacular markup at "Brookstone" is like buying hot wings at a nudie bar: Wrong place, wrong agenda, dumbass.
But let's face it: No one you know is really buying anything dangerous here. While you drink yourself silly at Fat Tuesdays & hurl insults at Pete Rose who's usually signing autographs at the sports memorabilia joint, your girl's gonna get moist over the leather in Salvatore Ferragamo's, ogle the red soles of Christian Louboutin which she once saw on "Housewives", then get self-conscious & head on over to Banana Republic to buy something cotton that her self-esteem will actually allow her to buy. The big ticket purchase isn't likely going to happen here so you can holster that Amex, Tonto.
And you know what else isn't going to happen here at Caesars? You getting laid. At least not with anyone that doesn't work for Benjamins & hangs out at Cleopatra's Barge. For those of you looking for that kind of pay-for-play action, those ta-tas hanging from the barge aren't just a coincidence: It's an "open for business" sign. Yes, this place is tacky enough that anything with double-X chromosomes & even a few brain cells that can recognize what a classy Vegas experience is isn't going to be bend-me-over-the-mini-bar impressed... which of course only reinforces the explanation as to why there are so many Vegas virgins here.
(I originally reviewed the rooms, dining, & other parts of the resort but don't have space to include it all. The rest is at: http://bit.ly/5TImS)
2-stars.

This property is very sprawled out. It has a prime location on center strip, and the place has gone through many changes over the years. I personally like the Forum Shops the best, and I usually eat at The Palm whenever I am in town. They have a good mix of vintage Las Vegas, which is evident when you first enter the casino.
I would give it a better rating but I had an incident in this hotel once. It ended up ok. The statute of limitations has long since run out. I am innocent, of course. Mums the word.

Vegas BABY! You're so money and you don't even know it.
Here we go...
Checkin was kind of a drag...they only had 2 people working the front desk, hello! It took me about 30 minutes to check in and the line wasn't even that long, but the guy was very apologetic when I got to the front with a sour look on my face. The concierge was SO friendly as well the bell man who brought up our bags. The taxi cue was great, really funny guy. The little shop in the hotel is SO overpriced I wanted to smack someone...you mean to tell me this pack of smokes is $13??? Bottle of Diet Coke $6....Where's Ashton? It's Vegas. Prices to be expected...sort of.
I've stayed at most of the hotels on the strip and I thought Caesars was just as it should be. We stayed in the Forum Tower (which I would TOTALLY recommend). Not sure if any of you have stayed in the tower...but that's where you SHOULD stay. The beds were soooo comfy...room was cozy, updated (fabulous bathtub!)...yada yada yada. Honestly though...you go to Vegas, not for the rooms...you go for the experience...casinos, shows, food, nightlife. I mean the room is important, but you just want someplace to sleep for 4 hours or so. This is great place to do it.
Great restaurants...Mesa Grill (Bobby Flay), Beijing Noodle 9 (BEST KUNG PAO SHRIMP. EVER!!!), Guy Savoy...I mean really people.
Nightclubs, Pure...I saw tons of stars...such a celeb hangout. The place gets so crowded though...I mean, to the point where my face was in some guys armpit, at least he was wearing deodorant.
I like Caesars...its a big hotel, clean rooms, nice service, cool dealers and a Las Vegas Casino...I mean what else?
It's VEGAS! ENJOY!

Oh Gawd! I am so torn here. This should be a 1 star, but because of my previous stay where I had given them a solid 5 star after a fantastic weekend, total Rock Star treatment, and stellar service, I will hope it was just an off weekend and give them a 3.
I just came back from a meeting, where I had 150 guest rooms in the hotel, two meeting rooms, and close to 300 people spending money.
Where to begin...
First, the check in desk personnel were horrendous. About 35% of my guests that had confirmation numbers, were told they didn't have a room when they tried to check in. Thankfully, I was there, to call BS, and suddenly they found the reservations.
One of my managers checked in to his room, and it was not even turned from the previous guests.
Another manager was locked out of his bathroom for two hours. Turns out a ghost slammed the door and locked it from the inside - Yes, he was in the Roman Tower :)
And saving the best for last...
One of my physician guests arrived late at night, sprawled on top of the covers for a quick cat nap, then awakened too late to go out, so got dressed or undressed for bed, and crawled in between the sheets, only to encounter something SLIMY all over the sheets, on his bare legs. YUCK!!!!!!!!! Yes, I was horrified, but, his friends told me that it was just as likely that he had left the SLIMY stuff there himself and simply forgot that he had already been to the room.
Then we get to the Garden of the God's pool side restaurant. It's a long ugly story, so suffice to say, 3 hour wait for our food, and the waitress and pool manager did nothing but make excuses. The manager (Patricia) showed us the food ticket, that showed when the order was put in the system, which was a good hour after we placed it, which was a good 45 mins after we sat down, and we still never got all of our food. After explaining to Patricia that the service and attitude she was displaying simply was not acceptable, and she needed to go to the kitchen herself, and bring us our order because people were starving...she asked if there was anything else she could do for us, to which I state "clearly not", she said she would send a round of cocktails to the table.
That never happened, and the last time we saw her, she showed us that she was clearing the check, but was going to charge us for the drinks that never came. We never saw her or the waitress again. Oh, and we never got the rest of our lunch order either.
On to the meeting portion of the stay. The Convention Services Department was fabulous. The only glitch came from the banquet side, where they set sodas and energy drinks out for breakfast, and there was nothing in the meeting room, and the second morning, they had not re set the meeting room. Soiled table cloths, garbage, etc.
However, once we pointed that out, they very quickly turned the room, and we were ready for the day.
At the end of the day, after all the complaints about different departments, they did give us a Villa up in the VIP/high roller pool to say thanks for the business, we are sorry we F'd up.
I have two more years contracted at Caesars Palace, and I really hope that next year is better.

I really love Caesars. On a recent trip, I was fortunate to have been book at Caesars, to review it… Read more »
Good:
Nice statues, lobby area, restaurants (expensive though), rooms were nicely decorated and bed was comfortable.
The maid service was very effiecient. Every morning we would leave our room for about an hour and come back and room was completely clean and towels replenished.
Bad:
Very expensive, the casino was poor imo.. I liked the bellagio or wynn much better. The bathroom sink nobb wasn't working well. Our Palace Tower room 2525 in a conjoining room and you could hear the conversations of the neighbors easily.. they weren't even speaking loudly.
The pool area seemed pretentious.. didn't like all the private club cabana stuff.. but i guess that's vegas.
Long line at checkin and didn't get the Forum tower room I had reserved.
This is strictly a review of the Rain Man Suite at Caesars, where I recently stayed for a bachelor party. This suite was based on the fictional one in the movie "Rain Man". Per the Las Vegas Sun, the suite in "The Hangover" was also partly based on this room. It's on the 69th floor (top floor) of the Forum Tower. The suite is bi-level, and has up to 4 bedrooms (if you use the connecting neighboring rooms). We used one of the connecting rooms, so we had 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms.
The living room is huge. It has a circular sofa on both sides, and a 52" HDTV in the middle of the room that revolves 360 degrees. There is a great 2-story view of the Strip. There are speakers built into the ceilings and walls on both floors, and you can attach your IPod and blast your music through-out the entire suite. The TV also has access to both DirecTV and Dish Network, and there's also a Blu-Ray player in the room.
There is a fancy remote that controls all the lighting (different moods), and the curtains. The suite also has a dining table and kitchen area. The bedrooms on the top level are huge, and have luxurious bathrooms. There are even TVs built into the bathroom mirrors. Because you need to be able to watch SportsCenter while you are shaving.
The Suite is just awesome. We got numerous comments from other riders when we hit the 69 button on the elevator. One girl even jokingly accused me of trying to impress her by hitting that button. A few other people asked us for tours. The list rate on the room is $6,400 a night but you can easily get it for much cheaper if you gamble a lot. This room is ideal for a bachelor party, as you can easily fit up to 20 people in the Suite.

We stayed here on our recent trip to Vegas and I must say that I was a bit disappointed. I mean hell, it's the all mighty CAESARS PALACE. Well our room was okay, but I thought it would've been more extravagant. I forgot which tower we stayed in, but it was updated. Our friends checked in at the same time as us so we asked the guy at the counter if he could put us closer together. dun dun dun...same floor! It was awesome.
I love love love the pool, it's so pretty.

Caesars Palace is not the grand hotel it once was. Caesars does hold a prime spot on the strip, but the hotel itself has seen better days. What's really disappointing is the poor level of customer service they extend to their guests. I have given them 3 chances to change my mind, and each time they've disappointed. I give the hotel experience 2 stars.
The Forum Shops were expanded a couple years ago, and the shopping there is always fun. It's filled with luxury and high end shops. Spend the day drooling or splurging it's your choice. I give the Forum Shop experience 5 stars.
I think this might be my favo hotel/casino in all of Vegas. Now, I've never actually stayed here, but it just looks nice, you know. I have, however, been in here several times, and I will eventually stay in it one day (maybe in a couple months, if I decided a trip to Vegas is necessary).
When I was in Vegas over Memorial Day weekend, I went to an awesome pool party here. The regular Caesar's pool was pretty awesome, but there was an even awesomer pool that was gated off to the side. That's where the pool party took place. And you're probably wondering why it was so awesome right about now. Well I'll tell you why. Cause it was a topless pool party. Yeah, let that sink in for a minute. You're in Vegas, on Memorial Day weekend, it's hot, you're in the pool, there are hot topless chicks all around, and you're just chillin' drinking pina coladas and beer... that's the life.
Btw, I'm not sure whether or not it's pager friendly...

We decided to take a girls trip to Vegas over Labor day weekend. We have an awesome friend who offered to help us get a really nice room for free since he was able to get it comped for us as he spends lots of time in Vegas. The room (after the hassle we went through to get into the right room that is) was beautiful, great view etc... The hotel itself is beautiful, unfortunately I don't have many nice things to say about the staff and service so I'll just say that when I go back to Vegas and I have to pay for my own hotel, I won't be spending my hard earned money at Caesars that's for sure.

After being slightly peeved for having to wait for a good half-hour at the check-in desk, the rest of the stay was amazing. Case in point:
1) Reasonably priced upgrade got us a nice, big room with ceiling shower at the Forum Tower. Lack of view (I never care much for the view anyway) was more than compensated by proximity to the awesome Forum Shops.
2) (most importantly) Helpful staff who, cognizant of my agitation for forgetting to bring my Blackberry charger and having to be Blackberry-less for the weekend, saved the day by directing me to the security desk who then produced a Blackberry charger that a previous hotel guest must have left behind. Their loss is my gain.
3) Guest list @ PURE - no effort necessary. 'Nuff said.
Later on I realized, the abovementioned wait was not the fault of the check-in desk staff. It was the two oriental ladies (read: supafobs - you can tell by the way they dress) who made a huge fuss about something and caused one of the staff to spend a good amount of time with them trying to explain the situation. By the way, their broken English didn't help any.

i stayed at caesars the last 2 times i went to vegas... both times i went for a bachelor's party... both times i stayed in the new tower, and let me just say it's pretty lush... the bachelor stayed in the suite in the old tower, so i was able to scope out his suite... let me just say, there is no comparison between the old tower and the new tower... everything in the new tower is so much better, current, and worth it... very relaxing both times staying at caesars palace... no complaints here... h-100...

This place holds a special place in my heart because it was my first visit to Vegas.
From the outside Caesars looks awesome. I believe it's on the biggest property out of all the hotels in the area.
The prices for your basic room are middle-upper compared to other hotels in the area.
The pools when I went (May 09) was a little lacking (small) compared to other hotels I saw but their currently in the process of building a few more which may put them over the top.
The casino wasn't really anything special, it seemed that the general crowd was a bit old in age and the majority smoked.
The statues, cieling, walls and everything in between was very nice, the lobby was beautiful.
Caesars is hands-down what Vegas is all about. I feel as if their the main event. It may not be the nicest, most expensive but it's still holds history more than any other hotel in the area.
There is really no place to get a good breakfast in Caesars. Only thing open for breakfast in the morning was a coffee shop and a chocolate store both selling bagels and pastries.
Caesars has a food court with some decently priced items, very similar to a food court only with their own spots, nothing brand named.
Pool service was pretty responsive, they took orders quick and returned back soon.
Drinks at the pool varied from $12-$19 for mixed cocktails, Beer was $7 or $8 I believe. An order of chicken fingers and fries was $10... (these were very good)
One thing that's important is location and Caesars is pretty much right in the heart of the strip, which is defiantly a good thing because most night's you'll be walking a lot. Caesars is at the very begining of the middle of the strip if that makes sense.
The room itself was very clean and housekeeping did a great job of maintaining the room although me and my girlfriend didn't really leave a mess.
The room itself was a bit plain in comparison to some other hotels, which were actually a little cheaper as well.
The area where you place bets on games seemed a bit outdated compared to other casinos. MGM had a great setup for watching and betting on games.
Mandalay Bay had the best pool area.
Planet Hollywood I believe is the best bang for the buck. Right DEAD in the MIDDLE of the STRIP. It has the hottest casino and it's a young crowd.
Oh and PURE.. hand's down one of the best club's i've ever been to. Great music, great atmosphere.. it's not high up but if you go to the top you get a GREAT view of the strip.
Ballagio Buffet is the best buffet in Vegas, we ate there twice.
Earl of the Sandwich at Planet Hollywood is a good sandwich shop for a quick bite, lunch.
Rum Jungle is a good spot if you LOVE meat.
The Ed Hardy lounge was great for prices, wasn't really packed the night we went, it's outside and bottle service was about $140 total with tip for a table and bottle of rum.

My favorite hotel in Vegas. Growing up I was used to the cheaper hotels- I was always at circus circus or downtown, but that was fine.
Caesars was my first "fancy" hotel and I've stayed at most of the nicer ones on the strip. That being said, overall I think this hotel is the best.
They have a good range of guestrooms, awesome pools and, to me, The best shopping around (bellagio and wynn are too fancy and planet hollywood and the mall aren't fancy enough).
We've stayed in the Palace and Augustus tower and one of the older ones. The Augustus is the biggest, but the location of the Palace tower is the best because it's slightly closer to the shops and it's right by the pool. (Since they're building a new tower, access to the pool from the Augustus tower was blocked - we had to walk ALL the way around.) But even after that setback, I think it's the best bang for your buck since it's not too expensive and the pools are great. It's perfect for us because we like staying in nice rooms but don't gamble like high rollers...so going across the street to Bills or Flamingo is easy for the lower table minimums.
btw: you have to try the Frrrozen Hot Chocolate at Serendipity 3. So good.
This place is great to take your lady and have her shop all day and next day. I got tired walking around and its maze. I love the sports book and the casino is great.
The rooms are beautiful.
Great place to watch a boxing match and the new venue (Colosseum)

Once upon a time on a random Vegas Sunday morning...
Cell Phone: *ring *ring
Jimmy: *Groggy * Clears throat * coughs* Hello?
Cell Phone: Hello Mr Ngo, this is Chase Bank just checking to see if you have your card in possession.
Jimmy: Ummm, yeah, why?
Cell Phone: We noticed some irregular card activity this past weekend and just want to be sure everything is ok.
Jimmy: What do you mean?!
Cell Phone: We noticed a withdrawal of $500 from your account followed by another withdrawal of $500 at 3:15 am.
Jimmy: Oh, I'm in Vegas.
Cell Phone: I see Mr. Ngo, just know that any significant withdrawal followed by another within 20 minutes will draw a red flag.
Jimmy: Oh ok, thanks.
Phone: *ring *ring
Jimmy: Hello?
Phone: Hello, this is Bank of America...

Now every time I stay @ Caesars, I book for only the Augustus Tower. Private checkin' and entrance are there for Diamond players. Beautiful rooms, 550 sqft. standard. Better in person then in pictures. Nice comfortable white beds. Plenty of lighting, unlike several Vegas hotels. LCDs are Sony... big plus! Nothing much bad to say about property except for it being so huge. Staying in other towers is a b*tch to get to. Not only is it far from the front entrance, it's easy to get lost. Too many nook and cranny and seperate pathways. Palace towers is one of the worst to get to. Stayed in a room there once and almost always forgot how to get to the elevators.
Beautiful pool areas... can't say the same of eye candy. More of the "mature" folks are here.
The only Vegas property that has two separate casino areas. I don't like how they take commission right away for winning hands at the table games. Wished high limit area was more secluded.... then again, I would love it more if I won there.
Forum Shops, best shopping destination for lovers of designer labels. Almost every major player has a boutique there... LV, Gucci, Balenciaga, Ferragamo, etc. Just wished Prada and Dior Homme set up shop there instead of having to jaunt over to Bellagio and Wynn, respectively.
Despite the minor setbacks, it's still one of the best properties. You can stay here the whole weekend in Vegas and never have to step foot out of the resort. Believe me... it's happened before!!!

Not a bad place to stay, but it's damned pricey to hang out here. Six-seven dollar drinks, high table minimums, and restaurants that start out around $25/entree. The staff is friendly enough, but the place is so mobbed that you definitely lose all sense of "I'm special because I'm a guest here." Our guest status didn't help my party get admission to the new club that opened up in the Palace, for example.
The pool is great, though. Gigantic, plenty of seats -- even on the weekends -- and not the total meat market I'd thought it would be.
Caesars is one of the nicer hotels on the strip. Although it's been around for a while they've recently remodeled a lot of it. Caesars also has the Forum shops which has nice stores in it but it also has stores like Express and the Gap that you'd find at your local mall. The shops aren't as high end as what you'd find at the Bellagio or Wynn but there are still nice stores so you have an idea of what to expect.
The hotel has some pretty famous places such as Mesa Grill (I completely don't recommend going there) and Pur nightclub. Although I've had bad experiences at both Pur and Mesa Grill, the hotel itself is still very nice and there's much to see there. For anyone who hasn't been here, I'd recommend stopping by to check it out. The shopping area has many other restaurants and Greek statues you can take pictures of/with. That area also has a fake skylight similar to the one at the Venetian.
I have never stayed here, but I have spent so much time in the place that I feel like I have. I love their Poker Room, shops, casino, and selection of restaurants. The staff has always been friendly and courteous. As with all Casinos I do wish they had more wheelchair accessible gaming tables.
My last visit to Vegas was for Vegas Uncorked 2009 where I attended two events at Caesar's during my stay. The first was a Dinner at Restaurant Guy Savoy(Reviewed separately), and The Grand Tasting which was held at the Caesar's Pool. This was an amazing opportunity to taste food, wine and spirits from over 40 different restaurants and purveyors. The pool was an outstanding venue, except for the fact that they placed the most popular booths (Bobby Flay, Mario Batali, Guy Savoy, Emeril, Joel Robuchon etc.) together, causing a horrible bottleneck.
My Vegas philosophy is, "Stay where I get the best deal, play where I want." I hope that someday the time I spend "playing" here, results in me getting the best deal here!

Me likey:)
Poker room and nice rooms to shower in (spent a total of 4 hours in 3 days in it but whatever)
I was here working a trade show at Caesar's. I told them when I checked in and they gave me a room in the same area as the convention. I also happened to slip how VIP I was that Paris gave me a complimentary upgrade-just to give them a opportunity to level the playing field. They took good care of me giving me a room in the Palace tower. Beautiful new clean rooms, plasma tv, full mini bar, plasma tv(with movie rentals). Very nice
My not so VIP coworker was given a room in the Roman tower. It paled it comparision. If I had stayed in that tower I would not be so happy. I think it's where the ruckus starter are stuck together--kinda like a slum. JK!
The casino also has one of the best poker rooms around. No smoking allowed! Which in my book would make them six stars if I could give them a super special bonus star....
I lived at the poker room, I was the semidelusional chick ranting and raving with a lot of chips (if anybody was there June 29/30th) I slept about 4 hours total over 3 days so I got weirder every night. But our table was the one laughing the most so I think it was all good.
Anways I would say this is on my 3 top places to stay in Vegas.
See ya guys there sometime:)

What a great hotel! I stayed here over New Year's eve one fine winter. The rooms are nicely furnished (especially the bathrooms). The hotel has plenty of things to do (i.e. Mesa Grill, gambling, loooots of shopping, clubs like Pure, and much much more). These Vegas hotels are like little cities!
Would give it 5 stars but the room service was not as smooth as it could have been (ex: the front desk was quite slow at bringing up needed extra robes and pillows)
Still, it's an amazing hotel and I highly recommend it. It's location is solid and there is just so many different activites to do in the mammoth hotel. Our room had an amazing view of the Bellagio fountain and the Eiffel Tower of Paris Paris. Three of my four nights in Vegas were spent out till sunrise and it was wonderful having a plush hotel room to crash in afterwards.
P.S. The first night I was here I had a Caesars salad. It came out wonderful.
The hotel is just like any other hotel in Las Vegas. There's way too much crap going on. That's a good thing.
The outside looks cool, it totally can't be missed. The interior feels like it really housed Caesar himself, if he loved slot machines and mall stores.
The accomodations are what this review is for.
The room was clean. But, this was a work-paid-for trip, so the brilliant genius that is the HR lady, booked my room with the most vile and disgusting piece of crap human ever to exist on the face of earth co-worker ever.
I can still give the accomodations a fair review.
But, dude, this guy is just plain stupid. He's home-schooled. He needs pro-active. He wears the same black shirt and jeans in rotation every week. He has dandruff, so the black shirt doesn't help. And he didn't come to Las Vegas for partying or women.
He researched online, the best arcade.
The best video game arcade.
The best effing video game arcade?!?
Now, I would understand if we were still in elementary school and we were on a field trip. Drugs and alcohol would be out of the question. But this guy is old enough to hand his weiner over to a woman in exchange for cash.
And guess what kind of video game?
Dance Dance Revolution.
Needless to say, he found his arcade. And to add to the vile-ness of this guy, he came home after his DDR Dancing and went straight to bed.
No shower.
If you ever see the people that play Dance Dance Revolution, you'll see that it is, to their defense, pretty active. You'll be sweating. And in Vegas, for sure, you will be perspiring sweat so bad you would need to carry a towel. And he does. But, nope, no shower.
Right to bed, no shower, as my other coworkers/friends watch in horror while pouring ourselves pre-drinks before we start our night, his ends.
It could have been a horrible experience, but he was awake and out when I was asleep. I was awake and out when he was asleep.
The bathroom was immaculate. Knowing that the roomie didn't shower made my experience all the more awesome.
And to top it off, there's a TV in viewing distance of the toilet.
Taking a dump and watching TV is how sh*t should be done.

The rooms here are really nice. I stayed here for the first time a few weeks ago but I got lost the instant I walked in. The elevator to the room was over at the treasure island. You have to walk 5 miles to the freaking tower elevators. I'm fat I hate walking. The only good thing about this place is you get to stand in a special line for pure night club. Whoopie!
I stayed in a hotel room with 6 people (shhh they didn't know). We informed them that 4 people were staying, but at check out we only got charged for 2 people...which made the 3 night stay incredibly cheap for 6 people. This pleased us quite a bit. The room was very nice, bathroom was large and also nice. We were able to get a cot and it was a little bit cramped, but not bad at all. We had a good view of the strip and the beds were comfortable.
We spent a lot of time in the hotel wandering around, the first day or two we continued to get lost but finally we were able to figure everything out! All in all I had a great stay here and would definitely recommend to anyone. The location is great, as it's right in the middle of the strip.
I've heard that Caesars Palace has a good tower and a bad tower. I've must have been in the good tower because my experience was pretty good. Checking-in was a breeze due to the many cashiers working in the large lobby. Like other Vegas hotels, going from lobby to hotel room here was a long trip. When someone says, "Drop your bags off in the room and meet back here in 5 minutes." You better tell them to make it at least 15 minutes.
I was pretty high up, which gave me a beautiful view of the Strip at night. The rooms were very nice and spacious. Definitely a comfortable enough room if you want to bring several people back and chill late at night. The bed was also very nice and extremely comfortable. The bathrooms were also strong--everything performed as it should, and it even had a slightly luxurious feel to it. I loved the showers. The rooms weren't cheap, but the experience was good.
Caesars Palace has a few other bright spots as well. There is plenty to do around Caesars Palace--such as the Forum shops. Plus, it is very close to some other marquee casinos like the Bellagio. I've heard mixed on this--but based on my experience, Caesars Palace does a good job of clearing up the cigarette smoke on the gaming floor. It isn't as good as the Wynn or the Bellagio, but Caesars Palace is definitely more comfortable and non-smoker friendly than a Harrah's or a Sahara.
There are plenty of other Las Vegas hotels I would like to check out, but I wouldn't mind staying in Caesars Palace on my next visit.
I didn't get to stay at Caesars Palace, but we spent a lot of time here during our Vegas trip and boy its pretty. I love the shopping and the changing sky colors. I also loved the fountain show, the people looked so realistic!
My friend also got a mimosa for five dollars and said it was really good, they didn't go cheap and overdo it on the orange juice, but they actually used the right proportions.
If I could choose to stay at any hotel, it would definitely be either Caesars Palace or the Bellagio. But I also gotta love Caesars Palace to quote from The Hangover "I have a question for you, and I'm sure you get this a lot but, is this really Caesars Palace? Like, did Caesar actually live here?"
Well it sure looks nice enough for Caesar to live in!
