Mavens Overview

One of the older strip properties, Caesars Palace pre-dates the Vegas Renaissance kicked-off by the 1989 opening of the Mirage. Caesars Palace has gone through a series of additions and renovations since opening in 1966. The property is so large, you may consider which tower to stay in depending on your primary activity: Palace Tower is closest to the pool; Augustus is closest to the Spa

Internet Buzz

Strip location gets high marks, even though the walk from your room to the Strip can be long. People appreciate that the pools are positioned so that the Sun is not blocked. Even by Vegas standards there are a surprising number of complaints about rude front desk staff and long check-in wait time.

Hotel Overview

3,348 rooms in five towers: Roman; Centurion; Forum; Palace and Augustus. Palace and Augustus are the newest and fanciest towers which feature oversized spa tubs in all rooms.
