History
Early history
In 1962, cabana motel owners Jay Sarno and Stanley Mallin received a $10.6 million
The inauguration ceremony was held on August 5, 1966. Sarno and his partner, Nate Jacobsen, spent one million dollars on the event. The cost included "the largest order of Ukrainian caviar ever placed by a private organization", two tons of filet mignon, 300 pounds (140 kg) of Maryland crabmeat and 50,000 glasses of champagne.[9][10] Cocktail waitresses in Greco-Roman wigs would greet guests and say "Welcome to Caesars Palace, I am your slave".[9] Among the performers at the opening were Andy Williams and Phil Richards.[3] According to author Ovid Demaris, Caesars Palace was "a mob-controlled casino from the day it opened its doors". By the time it opened, the significant publicity of the new hotel had generated $42 million in advanced bookings.[9]
On December 31, 1967, stunt performer Evel Knievel arrived at the hotel to watch a boxing match and convinced Sarno that he could jump over the distance of 140 feet (43 m) over the fountains. ABC came in to film the jump, in which Knievel hit the top of the safety ramp after the jump and flew over his handlebars into the parking lot of neighbouring Dunes. Fracturing his pelvis, several bones and suffering a concussion, he lay in a hospital unconscious for 29 days in a coma before recovering.[11] On April 14, 1989, Knievel's son Robbie successfully completed the jump.[12]
The first casino at the hotel was named Circus Circus. It was intended to be the world's liveliest and most expensive casino, attracting elite gamblers from around the world. [13] In 1969, a Federal Organized Crime Task Force accused the casino's financial manager, Jerome Zarowitz, of having ties with organized-crime figures in New York and New England.[14] Although Zarowitz was never tried, the task force pressured Sarno and his other investors to sell the casino, which led to it being acquired by Lum's restaurant chain owners Stuart and Clifford S. Perlman for $60 million.[15] The company soon shed its restaurant operations and changed its name to Caesars World.[16] On July 15 of that year, executives lay ground on an expansion area of the hotel, and they buried a time capsule in the area.[17]
In 1971, some 1,500 black American rights activists stormed the hotel in a protest. The National Welfare Rights Organization was involved with a "coalition of welfare mothers, Legal Services lawyers, radical priests and nuns, civil rights leaders, movie stars and housewives".[30] Five years later in the spring of 1976, hundreds of black American workers went on strike at the hotel in the first major strike in Las Vegas history. The entrances to the hotel and casino were blocked, and the hotel lost several million dollars from the strike, including one cancellation worth $500,000.[31] In 1973, the Del Webb corporation was contracted to build a $8 million 16-story building adjacent to the Palace.[32]
In 1979, a section of two and three-story hotel buildings were demolished, making room for an
In 1981, a fire broke out at the hotel, hospitalizing 16 people.[34] The Perlmans sold their shares in Caesars World that year after trying to get a gaming license for a casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The New Jersey Casino Control Commission accused the brothers of doing business with people who had organized-crime connections.[35]
Later history
In the 1990s, the hotel's management sought to create more elaborate features to compete with the other modern Las Vegas developments. The Forum Shops at Caesars opened in 1992; it was one of the first venues in the city where shopping, particularly at high-end fashion house stores, was an attraction in itself.[36] A new redevelopment opened on October 22, 2004.[37]
In June 2005,
In 2010, Caesars Palace was fined $250,000 by the Nevada Gaming Commission for permitting a high-limit baccarat player to dance on the card table while the game was underway.[41] In September 2015, Caesars Palace agreed to pay the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network an $8 million civil money penalty for violating the Bank Secrecy Act.[42]
In October 2017, ownership of Caesars Palace was transferred to Vici Properties as part of a corporate spin-off; Vici leased the property back to Caesars Entertainment at an initial annual rent of $165 million.[43][44]
During the COVID-19 pandemic the casino closed on March 17, 2020.[45][46] A few months later, on June 4, the casino reopened.[47][48] Certain aspects of the casino remained closed afterward, such as the boutique hotel and restaurant buffet. The Nobu Hotel reopened in July, a month after the casino had reopened.[49] The Bacchanal Buffet reopened the following year, on May 20, 2021, after a $2.4 million renovation.[50] The shows similarly resumed, with many celebrities announcing 2023 Caesars Palace residencies; including Adele,[51] Jerry Seinfeld,[52] Sting,[53] and Rod Stewart.[54]

Many boxing matches have been held in Caesars Outdoor Arena and at its since demolished Sports Pavilion (an indoor sports arena) since the late 1970s. The hotel has hosted fights between
Caesars Palace has played host to a number of
On September 27, 1991, a National Hockey League preseason game between the Los Angeles Kings and New York Rangers was held on an outdoor rink built in the Caesars Palace parking lot. Behind a goal from Wayne Gretzky, the Kings came back from a 2–0 deficit to win 5–2.[176] The game served as a prelude to "Frozen Fury", an annual series of preseason games in Las Vegas played primarily against the Colorado Avalanche at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and eventually the establishment of an expansion team in Las Vegas, the Vegas Golden Knights, for the 2017–18 NHL season.[177]
Restaurants
The casino houses multiple restaurants. Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill is an English pub, a type of restaurant Ramsay felt was "missing on the strip".[178] The Nobu Restaurant is an Asian restaurant.[179] The Old Homestead Steakhouse is the first west-coast location of a New York restaurant chain.[180] Rao's opened in 2006, the second branch of the restaurant after New York City to open.[181] Flay's first restaurant venture outside New York, Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill was opened at Caesars in 2004 and featured southwestern cuisine; it closed in November 2020 and was replaced in early 2021 with a "fish-and-pasta" concept called Amalfi by Bobby Flay.[182][183] Chef Brian Malarkey opened Searsucker Las Vegas – the fourth branch of the restaurant after San Diego, Del Mar, California, and Austin, Texas – in March 2015. The 7,500 square feet (700 m2) dining area has a "retro Americana" theme, with "cowboy culture" motifs reflected throughout the furnishings and paintings designed by Thomas Schoos.[184][185]
Beijing Noodle No. 9 is a Chinese restaurant with an overhead metal-cut white screen and large aquariums filled with goldfish are all backlit by LED bulbs.[186] Serendipity 3 was a 1950s style diner, featuring burgers, fries and ice cream delicacies.[187] The ice cream parlor themed restaurant, which was a branch of the New York City Serendipity 3 establishment, opened in 2009.[188] In addition to seating in the dining area and counter seating, there was a patio with views of the Strip and the Caesars Palace fountains.[189] It closed on January 2, 2017.[190] Hell's Kitchen opened in its place in January 2018, and was originally planned to be used as the studio for the filming of the American television show Hell's Kitchen for Seasons 19 and 20, but with full bookings of customers to serve and a lack of cameras (and no dormitories for the contestants), shooting was instead moved to the Caesars Entertainment Studios property near the Las Vegas Strip.[191][192] The major restaurant of the Augustus Tower is the Guy Savoy, namesake of the three-star Michelin chef.[193] When Savoy was approached to open a second restaurant in Vegas, he initially said no, until Caesars told him they wanted him to recreate what he had done in Paris. His request was that to maintain quality, the restaurant must be limited to service five days a week, to which the management agreed.[194] The restaurant opened in 2006 and in 2008, Savoy brought his executive chef from the Paris restaurant to Vegas.[195]
Under the direction of pastry chef and chocolatier François Payard, Payard Pâtisserie & Bistro at Caesars Palace encompasses a pastry shop, chocolate shop, and restaurant serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner.[196] The interior of the 46-seat bistro was designed by the Rockwell Group.[197] In 2008[198] the bistro installed a 16 feet (4.9 m) high "chocolate clock" that releases three chocolate truffles every quarter-hour.[199] In 1992 Wolfgang Puck was the first celebrity chef to open an upscale restaurant in a Las Vegas gambling resort with Spago at Caesars Palace.[200] Located in The Forum Shops arcade, the restaurant is divided into a cafe facing the shopping mall serving lighter, lower-cost dishes, and a more formal dining room to the rear.[200]
Central Michel Richard was a 24-hour restaurant situated in the hotel lobby from 2011 to 2014. In addition to a bar, it featured indoor and outdoor dining, with menu offerings varying by the time of day.[201] Established in 2011, it cost US$4.5 million to build-out and measured 10,000 square feet (930 m2) in size. Todd Harrington, executive chef, was chosen by Michel Richard, himself a James Beard Foundation Award-winning chef, to run the kitchen. Harrington had been the executive chef of Augustus Café, the restaurant which had previously operated in that location.[202] Harrington left in December 2013, and in July 2014, the restaurant filed for bankruptcy protection.[203] The restaurant closed in late 2014.[204][205]
Café Americano occupies the former premises of Central Michel Richard. It was in May 2015, in partnership with the V&E Restaurant Group of
In popular culture
In television it has appeared in series such as
A version of the casino called Caligula's Palace is featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, where it is located in Las Venturas (the game's equivalent of Las Vegas) and is the subject of one of the game's storylines where the player prepares for and pulls off a heist on the casino.
