The bright lights, vibrancy, and exuberance of the Las Vegas Strip is set to welcome a sophisticated and lively concept to the celebrated location. The Vanderpump Hotel will become a sought-after destination for people who long to step into the world of elegance, glamour, and luxury.
Over the past several years, Las Vegas has seen a tremendous transformation. While some people might recall the nostalgic era of the Rat Pack, today’s hotels and resorts are far from those secretive nights for a select few.
Today’s Las Vegas is about excitement all hours of the day, exuberance at every corner, and indulgence when you please. From the girls trip that balances spa days with sophisticated dinners to the guys getaway that goes from the gridiron to the craps table, the oasis in the desert can be everything to everyone.
Choosing a particular resort is more than the deciding based on the rack room rate. People want to step into an experience. Caesars Palace’s Garden of the Gods pool lets people bask in their own royal moment. In contrast, Paris Las Vegas adds elements of the City of Lights that have people embracing the joie de vivre.
Caesars Entertainment just announced that The Cromwell will be transformed into The Vanderpump Hotel. Vanderpump Alain, one of Lisa Vanderpump’s companies, will bring her signature style to the space. According to the press release, Vanderpump seeks “to create something sumptuous with a unique atmosphere.”
While Hulu viewers got a glimpse into the reality television world of Vanderpump Villa, The Vanderpump Hotel is Lisa Vanderpump’s first hotel concept. Although exact details have yet to be revealed, the design elements will be bespoke. Similar to the other projects that Vanderpump has done with Caesars Entertainment, the concept will have her signature style with a little extra.
Given the size and locale, it will be interesting to see how Vanderpump transforms both the casino lounge. Although covering those areas in pink tones seems unlikely, there are ways to bring femineity while embracing a masculine side. Finding that delicate balance will be key to the hotel’s success.
It will be nice to see how “sexy elegance” will come into play. Whether it is adding some European sophistication or a taste of LA cool, this space should become a hot ticket.
Many people will hope that one of Vanderpump’s signature cocktail lounges will be part of the hotel. From the Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace to Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas, these locales are the places to see and be seen. After all, how often is your cocktail served with a crown, even when it is not your birthday.
Adding The Vanderpump Hotel to the Caesars Entertainment portfolio is smart for the company. The draw of celebrity fuels many people’s choices. Whether it is booking a table at Gordon Ramsay restaurant or noshing on a cronut from Dominique Ansel’s bakeries, people want to bring the moments seen on screen into their real life.
The Caesars Entertainment portfolio appreciates that its brands captivate people by playing into celebrity draw. Similar to how The Real Housewives franchise caters to that sense of “aspirational entertainment,” these celebrity backed offerings give an opportunity to step into that other world.
As a Caesars Entertainment representative commented, “Caesars Entertainment has a history of pioneering distinctive hospitality experiences and embraces both celebrity partners and renowned restaurateurs and hoteliers who bring a depth of expertise beyond just name recognition. The company opened the world’s first Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace in 2013 and debuted Martha Stewart’s first restaurant, The Bedford, at Paris Las Vegas in 2022. Additionally, Caesars Palace introduced a Peter Luger Steak House location in 2023, marking the first domestic expansion for the legendary brand in more than 60 years. Caesars Entertainment welcomes both devoted Lisa Vanderpump fans and those simply seeking a one-of-a-kind hotel experience, ensuring there’s something for every type of guest.”
The Vanderpump Hotel is set to open in early 2026, but no specific date has been identified. More details from Caesar Entertainment will be provided in the future.
