Julius Caesar was not the most powerful of the Roman generals, nor was he ever even ruler of the Italian empire. In fact most folks either know him for hundreds of stab wounds inflicted upon him by his closest buddies or the popular pizza chain that bears his name. Caesar was important though, not because he was the first powerful Roman (he wasn't). He was significant because he changed everything. It was his influence that began to turn the Roman Republic into the Roman Empire. The Caesar's Palace Casino and Hotel has had much the same effect on Las Vegas. There were casinos in the dessert before it was built, but the presence of this landmark venue helped convert Las Vegas from a simple gambling destination to a world class vacation attraction and one of the fastest growing cities in America.
When you stand outside and just look at this hotel, the first word that comes to mind is "opulence" (or some variation of that word, refer to a thesaurus for more details). It rises from the dessert floor like a white marble work of art. The construction mimics the classic periods of Greek and Roman architecture. Statues, columns, and arches dominate the design with peeked ceilings that are reminiscent of the Acropolis in Athens. Any sane person is impressed before they even walk in to the building.
The feel of Roman royalty does not end at the exterior design. The rooms have been decorated to make the customer feel like the toga clad monarchs of the days when the date still had the BC tag after it. The rooms feature marble and brass bathrooms, high ceilings, and liberally proportioned bathtubs that will help the traveler reach an unmatched state of relaxation. Each of the 2,400 deluxe guestrooms includes lavish decor, a choice of either one king or two double beds (upon availability at check-in), two telephone lines with data ports, irons with ironing boards, hair dryers, safes, refrigerators, and motion sensing lighting.
The enjoyment of food was a big part of the Roman culture. This historical fact was not lost on the good people at Caesar's Palace. This hotel and casino boasts some of the best restaurants in the city of Las Vegas. Dining ranges from casual restaurants to five star affairs with world class, award winning chefs.
At first leaving the room may be a struggle but the call of the casino cannot be ignored for long. With more than 120,000 square feet of gaming space in three casinos, guests can play and win 24 hours a day. Every game that can be had at a casino can be found at here. Table games include Roulette, Blackjack, Craps, and more. Guests can also choose from a wide array of slots and video poker machines, and pretty much everything else they desire to play.
For the poker player, Caesar's offers an 8500 square foot poker room with over 30 tables. It is here where you can indulge your passion, whether it is Texas Hold'em, Seven-Card Stud or Omaha.
Caesar's Palace is a Vegas icon for a reason. This is one of the few hotels that you must experience at some point in time.
