Already one of the best-known resorts in the world, Caesars Palace fittingly says it’s not content to rest on ‘laurels.’ The iconic Las Vegas Strip property has embarked on a multimillion-dollar renovation of its original main entrance, main casino and porte-cochère to create an extravagant entryway, redesigned gaming areas, and a new lobby bar. Completion is expected to come in time for New Year’s Eve.

The main entrance to the property will be entirely rebuilt from the ground up resulting in “an arrival experience fit for a Caesar,” and matching the glamour of the property’s famous hotel lobby.

Once completed, guests will be welcomed by a dramatic and soaring dome and barreled ceiling over a commanding 4.5-m. tall statue of Augustus Caesar. The project also includes two new state-of-the-art gaming pits, which will flank the enhanced entrance, a beautiful new lobby bar, and a renovation of the property’s domed table games floor.

“Caesars Palace brought a sense of grandeur to the Las Vegas Strip when it was built in 1966, and we’re proud to continue that legacy with a full reimagining of our main entrance,” says Caesars Entertainment regional president Sean McBurney. “Completely rebuilding the front entrance of one of the world’s most iconic destinations is no small task, and we’re excited to get started and create a stunning new visual welcome for our guests.”

During construction, continuing through December, several changes will affect guests:

• Main valet off Las Vegas Blvd. will accommodate Caesars Rewards Diamond and Seven Star members only

• The Colosseum valet (ground floor of the Caesars Palace self-parking garage off Frank Sinatra Drive) will accommodate all valet guests

• Rideshare pick-up and drop-off will be relocated to the exit doors next to Vanderpump Cocktail Garden

• Express hotel check-in/check-out kiosks will be placed at all available entrances
