Caesars Palace is a Roman-themed hotel, casino and entertainment complex on the Las Vegas Strip, at 3570 S Las Vegas Blvd. Its grand columns, statues, fountains and detailed interiors make the resort worth exploring even if you are not staying overnight. Inside, you can browse The Forum Shops, choose from restaurants ranging from quick-service counters to celebrity-chef dining, or catch a show at the Colosseum. The property is enormous, so allow time to walk between its casino, shops, restaurants and pool areas.
A Roman theme on the Strip
Caesars Palace opened in the 1960s and became one of the Strip’s early mega-resorts. Its name refers to Julius Caesar, and the design draws on ancient Rome. Columns, statues, fountains and elaborate interiors carry that theme through the resort’s public spaces.
The scale is part of the visit. The property spans multiple hotel towers and facilities, and getting from one area to another can take time. If you are visiting without a room reservation, plan your route around the casino, shops, restaurants or a show rather than expecting to see everything in one pass.
