Caesars Palace Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, Las Vegas (must see)
Caesars Palace, a renowned and grand hotel and casino, stands as a prominent landmark in Las Vegas. Since its inception in 1966, this opulent establishment has captivated visitors with its quintessential Las Vegas charm infused with Greco-Roman style. Transporting guests to the era of the Roman Empire, the complex is adorned with an abundance of statues, columns, and iconic elements reminiscent of Hollywood's Roman period productions. At the entrance, an impressive 20-foot (6.1 meters) statue of Augustus Caesar commands attention.
The hotel encompasses six towers, namely Augustus, Nobu, Julius, Palace, Octavius, and Forum, collectively offering 3,976 rooms. The Forum tower houses guest suites, each providing a generous 1,000 square feet (93 square meters) of space. Among the diverse range of dining options available, guests can indulge in specialized authentic Chinese cuisine, catering to affluent East Asian gamblers, or savor the ambiance of Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, designed to resemble a traditional English pub.
Throughout the years, Caesars Palace has established itself as a premier venue for live music and sports entertainment, notably hosting thrilling boxing matches since the late 1970s. Renowned entertainers such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Dean Martin, Rod Stewart, Celine Dion, Ike & Tina Turner, Shania Twain, Cher, Elton John, Diana Ross, Liza Minnelli, Julio Iglesias, Ann-Margret, Tony Bennett, Harry Belafonte, Judy Garland, Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, and many others have graced its stages.
Water plays a significant role within the casino resort, with at least 18 fountains captivating guests with their enchanting displays. These fountains, including The Fall of Atlantis, utilize special effects and animated figures to narrate the mythical tale of Atlantis. Moreover, the driveway leading to the entrance features a towering 20-foot (6.1 meters) statue of Julius Caesar, seemingly hailing a taxi. Welcoming guests with grace, replicas of the Rape of the Sabine Women, as well as statues of Venus and David, adorn the premises. Notably, near the entrance stands a colossal four-faced, eight-handed Brahma shrine weighing an impressive four tons, crafted in Bangkok, Thailand.
