Caesars Palace had its 50th anniversary in 2017. The year was kicked off with renaming the original Forum Tower the Julius Tower. The new name for the tower coincided with top to bottom renovation of the hotel rooms.

Even though Caesars Palace is already a AAA Four Diamond hotel, it’s always evolving and constantly improving. Over the years the hotel has expanded to include six hotel towers, as well asone of the busiest malls in America. It also has one of the largest nightclubs in Las Vegas and so much more. Like the rest of the hotel and casino, the restaurants and bars often change as customer tastes change.

The one constant with Caesars Palace is the brand. Caesars Palace remains the most recognized name in casinos. While it’s rated as a luxury hotel, Caesars Palace is seen more as an upper-middle-class to high-end hotel and casino. With six different hotel towers and almost 4,000 hotel rooms, there’s a room style and price point for just about everyone. The addition of the Nobu Tower at Caesars Palace brings a level of sophistication unmatched by many hotels in Las Vegas.

Location

Caesars Palace is located in the heart of the Vegas Strip. The area between Bellagio and Caesars Palace is often considered the center of the Strip. All hotels and casinos to the north are within walking distance. The very south end of the Vegas Strip can be reached easily and without cost by walking to Excalibur and hopping the monorail to Luxor, Mandalay Bay, Delano and the Four Seasons.

Amenities

Qua Spa: Qua is a massive 50,000 square-foot spa. The spa includes three Roman baths, Laconium (dry heat) Room, and Crystal Body Art Room.

Omnia Nightclub: Omnia is a 75,000-square-foot, multi-level nightclub. The venue encompasses a large high-energy main room featuring a beautiful and humongous moving chandelier. Other featured areas at Omnia include an ultra-lounge, mezzanine and rooftop garden with beautiful views of the Vegas Strip.

Entertainment: Caesars Palace has a rich history of providing top-notch entertainment. That trend continues with Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Elton John, Jerry Seinfeld, Rod Stewart, Reba, Brooks and Dunn, and more performing regularly.

Forum Shops

The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace is a 3-level, 636,000-square-foot, shopping mall. It was added to the casino-resort in 1992. The mall has almost 300 stores. These include 19 major anchor stores like the Apple Store and 24 stores exclusive to Las Vegas, like Calvin Klein. The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace is one of the busiest malls in America.

The mall is great whether you want to go shopping, browse art, walk around or grab a meal. The Forum Shops are a “hidden in plain sight secret” when you think about the popularity of Caesars Palace. The Apple Store is one of only two in the tourist section of the Vegas Strip. It comes in very handy if you have problems with your iPhone.

Casino

The Caesars Palace casino has everything you’d want from a world-class casino resort. The original casino near the lobby is the heart of the action, but the games don’t end there. Walk toward Omnia and you’ll pass a good number of slot machines and table games.

As you pass Omnia, you’ll see the famed Caesars Palace sportsbook and sportsbook bar. Next to the sportsbook is the large poker room. This poker room is always crowded and there’s often a waiting list to play. Beyond the poker room and toward the Forum Shops you’ll find a casino with as many table games and slot machines as you’d find in some other casinos in Las Vegas. Make no mistake about it, the casino at Caesars Palace is huge.

Entertainment

Las Vegas dubbed itself the entertainment capital of the world. Caesars Palace has a lot to do with that branding. A star-studded list of performers, from Frank Sinatra and Liberace to Celine Dion and Calvin Harris has performed at Caesars Palace. That tradition continues today with regular performances from the latter two artists.

In addition to Celine and Calvin, Caesars Palace has a long list of resident performers. Other regular performers include Mariah Carey, Elton John, Jerry Seinfeld, Rod Stewart, and the exclusive location to see the combination of Reba, Brooks & Dunn.

Calvin Harris performs monthly at Omnia, which has a strong list of internationally renowned DJ’s performing every week. Besides Harris, most DJ’s don’t make regular appearances.

Caesars Palace must see

Architecture – Caesars Palace is such a large and unique property. Your best bet is to grab a cup of coffee at Payards, Brioche or Starbucks, and take a lap from the lobby and through the Forum Shops one morning. A tour before everyone is awake will allow you to see the unique layout and architecture of Caesars Palace with minimal distraction.

Fortuna Pool – Gamblers who visit Caesars Palace in the warmer months must play some hands of blackjack at the Fortuna Pool. This is an activity that you can’t enjoy in many other casinos on the Vegas Strip.

See Celine Dion – This is a unique show that can only be experienced in Las Vegas. The Colosseum theater was made specifically for Celine Dion’s original show. Building a performance arena that’s specific to a singer’s voice doesn’t happen anywhere but Vegas.

Visit Omnia – Las Vegas is known for its great nightclubs. Omnia is one of the newest, largest and most beautiful you’ll find anywhere in the world. Make sure you go outside to the patio lounge that looks out to the Vegas Strip

Drink, smoke or gamble at Montecristo – This bar offers high-end spirits, a large humidor stacked with cigars, and video poker. Montecristo offers a unique experience for a bar anywhere. It’s even unique for a bar inside of a Las Vegas casino and that’s why it’s a must see.

Caesars Palace Loyalty Club

Caesars Entertainment owns and operates Caesars Palace. Their loyalty club, Total Rewards, is one of the largest casino loyalty clubs in America. It’s also one of the easiest loyalty clubs for you to earn points and credits to use in a casino.

Total Rewards is one of the few national casino loyalty clubs. Caesars Entertainment operates properties from Atlantic City to Las Vegas and all around the country. Therefore, you’re not limited to earning and using points and credits in Las Vegas. You can earn points and credits at any Caesars Entertainment casino to use at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

Additionally, you don’t even have to visit a casino to earn Total Rewards points and credits. This is unlike most Las Vegas casino loyalty clubs. Points can be earned through various partnerships. These range from online shopping to social games.

Total Rewards can be slightly confusing. You actually earn two different types of points at two different rates. Tier credits are the points earned that allow you to climb status to earn specific benefits. Rewards points are earned and can be redeemed for shopping, dining, etc.

Tier levels

Here’s a look at the different tier levels and the number of credits you’ll need to achieve the coinciding benefits:

• Gold – Entry Level, everyone starts here
• Platinum – Earn 5,000 Tier Credits
• Diamond – Earn 15,000 Tier Credits
• Seven Stars – Earn 150,000 Tier Credits (Invitation only)

Tier credits

You can earn Tier credits and reward points from spending money on gaming, dining, entertainment, hotel rooms, shopping, spa treatments and golf at any Caesars Entertainment property. Here’s how to earn both Reward points and Tier credits:

• Slot machines – 1 Tier Credit for every $5 you play
• Video poker – 1 Tier Credit for every $10 you play
• Table games (blackjack, three card poker, etc.) – Varies on the type of table game you are playing, your average bet and how long you play.
• Poker – Varies on the type of game you are playing and how long you play
• Hotel, dining, shopping, etc. – 1 Tier Credit for every $1

You can earn an additional Tier Credit bonus when you reach certain milestones each day. If you earn:

• 500 Tier Credits in one day, receive 125 bonus Tier Credits.
• 1,000 Tier Credits in one day, receive 1,000 bonus Tier Credits.
• 2,500 Tier Credits in one day, receive + 5,000 bonus Tier Credits. (Double bonus = Diamond status in a day)
• 5,000 Tier Credits in one day, receive 10,000 bonus Tier Credits. (Diamond status in a day)

Tier credits reset to zero on January 1. Tier status must be earned each year to maintain your status for the following year.

Total Rewards online

Total Rewards was one of the first casino loyalty clubs to go online. The website is constantly evolving and offers a better user interface each time. It’s not perfect, but the Total Rewards website is better than other casino chains.

Since Total Rewards was one of the first to go online, it should be no surprise that they were one of the first with a mobile app. Today’s Play by TR app is one of the most useful casino and loyalty club apps. The app offers information on your Total Rewards account. You can view points and offers, as well as access information on all Caesars Entertainment hotels, casinos, restaurants, shows, nightlife and more.

The Play by TR app is on of the most useful Las Vegas apps. It replaces the need for nine individual casino apps. The app is easy to use and has everything you’d want in a casino and loyalty club app.
