What you should know

Glittering at the heart of the Las Vegas Strip, Caesars Palace recaptures the glory of Greece and the dignity of Rome in a casino that has become synonymous with luxury and excitement. Harrah's Entertainment owns Caesars Palace. Caesars has 3348 rooms in five towers: Augustus, Centurion, Forum, Palace and Roman. Currently, Caesars Palace is in the process of another expansion, including a new hotel tower. The 129.000 square foot casino features 1900 slots and 125 table games.

A little bit of history

Building of the 14-story Caesars Palace hotel began in 1962. The name for the hotel originates from the royalty of general Julius Caesar. In 1973, Del Webb company was contracted to build an additional building to expand hotel capacity. That project was finished in 1974. By the 1980s, Caesars Palace had become a boxing and gambling Mecca. Fights were and still are particularly beneficial to the casino. In the 1990s, the management of the hotel wanted to change its atmosphere to family oriented. This move was not strange to Las Vegas hotel owners, since most hotels were planning to modernize by adding more children features and making Las Vegas hotels seem more family friendly and less gambler oriented. As a consequence, big time boxing was one of the first things to leave Caesars Palace. In 1992, The Forum Shops at Caesars had opened. It was one of the very first venues in the city where shopping, particularly at high-end stores, was an attraction in itself. Caesars has just opened the Roman Plaza, an open-air area with a cafe on the corner, and the Colosseum theater, where Céline Dion and Elton John are regular performers. Many star performers, such as Liberace, Julio Iglesias, David Copperfield and Gloria Estefan have performed at the hotel.
