I have stayed at Caesar’s several times and have never been disappointed. The rooms are great and the service is fantastic. The who place just reeks of old time Vegas but it is as modern as the Belagio. The theme is there but its not over the top. Its also not like all the other upscale hotels where you can’t tell them apart.

Caesars Palace rooms:
I’ve stayed in four of the five towers. Here are comments listed in order of tower preference:

Palace Tower – Opened in 1999, this tower has some very, very nice rooms, all with marble bathrooms and spa (jacuzzi) tubs. Good size, comfortable, but frankly a long walk from the main casino area, restaurants & shopping. Close to pool.

Augustus Tower – Opened in 2005, the rooms are very comfortable with significant money put into the bed & bedding. Baths are marble with spa tub. Even the upper floor rooms (not suites) are on the modest size.

Forum Tower – Remodeled during winter 2007/08 with similar bedding and comforts as the popular Flamingo GO rooms. For whatever reason, they are proud of their electronic “do not disturb” signs and door bells. ?? Rooms are small-ish (except suites) as I believe this tower was built in 1979. My favorite thing about Forum tower rooms is the elevator lets you out right in the middle of the Forum casino, near the Forum Shops. Very convenient. If you want to splurge, check out the Absolute-themed suites.

Centurian Tower – Old, small rooms are what you get when you book & settle for a “standard” room. Centrally located, but I’d rather stay at Flamingo than in a Centurian room.

Roman Tower – I can’t recall if I’ve stayed in the Roman Tower, but see my notes on Centurian rooms for a very similar experience.

Beware – Ceasars will undergo yet more remodeling in 2008 as the Palace (main) Casino pit and all adjacent “low ceiling” areas are re-done with high ceilings to match the lobby and Pussycat Dolls pit areas.

Still, Caesars is Caesars and there is no better oldschool property to get the feel of vintage Vegas while still enjoying the most modern of amenities, restaurants and shopping. The joint was originally built with money from The Boys (Teamsters Central States Pension Fund), but the various owners (now Harrahs Corp) have managed to keep it relevant.

To experience Vegas the way its meant to be, stay at Caesars Palace!

My wife and I stayed at the new Agustus tower for 5 nights in september. The room was amazing and the view was even better we were on the 42nd floor however, i dont think the tower starts at floor #1 the view of the fountains was amazing. we enjoyed our stay very much however we found it all a little bit too “fancy or upscale” for our taste . we hardly gambled at all in caesars palace as the table minimums were a little too high for our taste $15+ and were there midweek sun thru fri, i can’t imagine what they are on weekends. We had no luck at all on VP and our $$$ seemed to go really fast so we tried a few other nearby casinos. both agreeing that O’sheas and Hooters were more our speed, so most of our gambling took place is those 2 casinos we prefered hooters and have already received a free rooom offer for next year for 3 nights. all in all I cannot complain as we were comped the five nights (from play in AC) and our checkout bill was 32$ (we ordered room service the last night) If you like fancy you will like it here, all of the employees were very helpful. i found the casino to be too large getting lost several times getting coffee or trying to find our room with a slight buzz. The place is huge we never even got a chance to venture to the forum shops

We stayed in an Augustus Tower room from 6/28 through 7/1—to which we were upgraded at no charge—and loved it. The room was large, squeaky-clean and absolutely dead quiet. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom quite large. The service was pleasant and accommodating. This was our first trip to Vegas. There will be many more in the future, and, though I wasn’t a particular fan of Caesars’ casino (I liked The Bellagio’s and The Mirage’s casinos quite a bit more), I would happily stay at the hotel again.

Unless you get a room in the new tower, don’t bother. This property is not as elegant as they like to think they are.

Great entertainment. Catch Celine’s show before it closes down! It’s better than its luke-warm reviews!

Superb restaurants. I’ve never had a bad meal at Bobby Flay’s. Bradley Ogden is terrific but I think there are better places for that very-special-meal.

I will make this as short and sweet as possible. Prestigious my ASS! Physically very similar to all other CASINOS! Rooms, nothing special, no fridge, microwave, coffee maker (can order a boiler $$$), stereo (some TV channels play music$$$) no AIR Ventilation in SMOKING rooms!!!! For a 5 STAR hotel, we were shocked!(we are very familiar with high end hotels) Service was terrible! Room service arrived with hair in plate! * Thank god my husband and I have a strong bond! The HOUSEKEEPING was total B.S! not only were we disturbed every morning with our DND sign ON the DOOR, the sheets were NEVER changed, the garbage never picked off the floor, tables never wiped etc… after a number of complaints it STILL cont’d! When we returned home and went through our Laundry the maids put their undergarments into our bag of clothes and tightly wrapped them around my husbands underwear!!! Obviously hoping to hurt us and our relationship! (unfortunately for them, we were not born yesterday!!!)* When we called to make a complaint the so called management could barely squeeze a sorry out of him and suggested they cleaned under the bed and found the garments there; assuming it belonged to me, they put it into our laundry bag!!! We beg to differ! They never even brought us clean glasses to drink water out of! Mishkat11@hotmail.com Highly recommend MGM or Bellagio! Or anything else but the Casers (nice shops, bad food selection, terrible stay) !!! Over all Vegas is a fun place for ADULTS and of course we made the best of it! :)

It seems people are rather reluctant to compliment Ceasars palace – However compared to most hotels on the strip it is hard to find a more accomplished resort that will keep you entertained for several days. As soon as you enter you notice the servce and the initial wow factor.
The fact that the resort tends to sprawl just adds to the fun of exploring.

The drapes in our Caesar’s room would not close—there was a gap of about 6 or 7 feet. The room was at an inside corner, which meant that someone in the adjacent room could look right into our room. Plus, the desert sun would wake us up at 6:00 in the morning. So we needed to get the drapes closed.
Tried to call the front desk to ask them to send maintenance people up to our room, but had a hard time seeing the phone, because both lights near the bed (and the phone) were not working (not just burned out, but broken). Finally got through to hotel maintenance, who said they could not do anything about the drapes, because that was the “carpenter’s responsibility,” and none was on duty. Not wanting to wake up with the sunlight at 6 a.m., I thought we needed a different room. I tried calling the front desk again, but this time no one would answer. I gave up calling after 10 minutes and took the elevator downstairs to find about 7 or 8 clerks at the desk, only half of them busy with customers—the others were standing around chatting with each other. They said there were no other rooms available, but would send maintenance personnel up to our room. This time, maintenance people came up, and after about 15 minutes, they were able to close the drapes some—with only a 4-foot gap—still enough to flood the room with sunlight at 6 a.m. I asked Maintenance if they could get Housekeeping to hang a bedspread or something across the opening…and housekeeping delivered a sheet to the room—but it was left to us to figure out how to hang it—and we had no pins or tape. We finally used the large drapery hooks. We told maintenance to forget about the broken lights—

Visted with my wife after returning from Iraq. When the desk clerk heard that I had just returned, he secured an upgrade to a Petit Suite. Fantastic room with a massive bathroom “suite” consiting of two separate sink and toilet areas (one with a large soaking tub) connected by a walk-thru shower with twin shower heads. Better than any room I’ve stayed in at the Bellagio or Venetian. Fantastic service and attitude by all the staff. Comps are somewhat tight (I did get a free hat, coat, and blanket) while at the casino, but I immediately started receiving offers fro 2-3 free nights along with food credit.

Stayed in October 2005, nice, clean, room was always done early, upgraded room (view I guess) @ no charge. Staff friendly, didn’t gamble there. Takes way too long to get to the boulevard from Augustus Tower, got mega blisters from Venetian Blue Man Group to my room, don’t trot around in stilletto’s. Ouch. Bartenders at the bar were a laugh though. It was OK.

The new Augustus tower is great!
I had a great view of Bellagio and the rooms are huge. My only problem is that some of the fixtures are already broken and the color scheme was a bit ugly.
My other problem goes along with a new trend in las vegas of “fake numbering” I was on the 42nd floor but it seemed like I was 4 floors from the top of Bellagio that has 36. WTF?

Just got back from a three nite trip to Las Vegas. We stayed at Caesars and loved it! The room was spectacular with a view of the Bellagio fountains and the strip which was all lit up at nite!
Bathroom had marble floors, double sinks, plasma tv and hot tub with a glass enclosed shower. We had a blast! This room was at the Augustus Tower which we had upgraded with the $20 trick! The meals were great too!
Celine Dion was also spectacular and breathtaking! I would never go anywhere else for our stay. Been there 3 times and had never had a blast as we had at Caesars Palace.
The slots were paying out too! I would recommend this hotel to anyone… If you’re looking for class make sure you book the palace or augustus suites.

our favorite, the pool is a bit crowded. wonder how it will be with the new addition?

We stayed in a petit suite, which was very nice. The bathrooms were incredible. I can only compare this property to Paris and Bally’s, and ofcourse the rooms were somewhat nicer. The service was fine, not exceptional. I probably won’t stay there again simply because I didn’t like the size of the property or the casino itself. I’m in my late 20s and the atmosphere was more geared towards an older crowd. Loved the rooms, wasn’t thrilled with the rest of the property.

Just returned from a stay at Caesars Palace. Was upgraded to a spa room – huge marble whirlpool bath with separate shower and toilet. Garden of the Gods pools are amazing and have to be seen (and swum in) they even have ‘grape godesses’ who give out frozen grapes to guests at the pool!

Cafe Largo was was a nice cofee shop with music on Frank Sinatra’s piano and a small but high quality buffet (try the breakfast omlets and deserts – your mouth will love you!). Nero’s steakhouse had amazing food but had a long wait to be served.

Didn’t see Elton or Celene but caught a fight at the Roman plaza – great venue all seats were close enough to see the action but take some cover as your outside in the sun all the time.

Only downsides were the lack of places to eat breakfast (only cafe Largo) and the way the pools were closed early for functions on a few days, overall though Caesars is still the best resort on the strip if you can stay here do you won’t regret it!

After 30 years of visiting Las Vegas and always loving the time spent at Caesars, we have been staying there exclusively for the last 9 years. As regulars we have met many people from all over who also favor this casino, and when there is a special event we know we will see someone we know. We stay in the Palace Tower, it is our home
away from home so to speak. One thing I haven’t seen mentioned was it is very quiet and very dark in the room so you never know what time it is when the drapes are closed. Helps one to sleep in an exciting atmosphere. I would have a very hard time
staying anywhere else, our experiences have been very positive here and I hope we have the opportunity to stay many more times. Each trip is a new memory, always something in transition. This may be one of the oldest casinos but with each new improvement it is the best!!!

Service was incredible! I couldn’t believe the upgrade I got without even asking for it when I spoke w/front desk OIC regarding shabby room in Centurian Tower(oldest one). LOVED the Palace Tower w/pool view. Bathroom was out of this world. How nice to have Aveda shampoo, etc. I love this place!! 5 wonderful nights! Make sure you go to LaSalsa in the Forum Shops for food/drinks!

Stayed Jan. 25-27,2004. Had booked via an America West vacation—very inexpensive, so had no high expectations. But, to provide us with two adjacent rooms, we were upgraded to the Palace Tower on the 26th floor…large, beautiful, very very clean. Check in was great, our bill was correct, we had good to Exceptional Service at the restaurant, and staff were friendly and helpful everywhere we went. A first choice. Mary Price (Tistie)

After booking a low cost America West Vacation, I expected minimal, but received outstanding. Needing two adjacent rooms as we were traveling with a handicapped individual, to make this happen, we were upgraded to two adjacent rooms in the Palace Tower on the 26th floor—certainly not expected nor required. The rooms were clean, spacious and meticulously maintained. We ate at the restaurants, which were fantastic, with exceptional service and high quality food, and what gambling we did was also at Caesar’s, where the areas were clean, the dealers friendly, and the slots generous.

Our only mild complaint was the smoke in the environment, but everything else was excellent. We were there from Jan. 25-27, 2004. A short trip, but a great one. Will we choose Caesar’s again. You bet! Mary Price, Boulder, CO.

Hotel staff is determined to do things however they feel and get you out of their way. I was given a very incorrent time that my room would be ready, way too early. I understood this at first as we arrived hours in the early hours, so were checked in and simply going to have to wait around in the casino a few hours. The estimated remaining time, however, stretched out later into the day until finally, well after other people started checking in, they were ready to give me a room. I had to wait longer and speak to several people to actually get the kind of room I reserved instead of the first possible room. I reserved well in advance. It shouldn’t be this hard to get someone what they paid for.

The room (Palace Tower) was nice, but looking a little bare compared to what the competition is doing now. But getting to anywhere from your room requires a long walk and usually going up and down a few steps. Nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to stay there again.

Caesars is my favorite hotel, we stay here more than anywhere else and are treated very nicely. The room rating really varies – the Palace Tower has exceptionally lovely rooms with very well appointed bathrooms – lots of glass, marble and gold trim. We have also had rooms in the Forum and Roman Towers – not as plush or large as the Palace Tower, but large and nicely appointed bathrooms; these towers are also closer to the casino. Service has always been very good here from the front desk to restaurants and bars.

The room rating depends on what room tower you stay in. If you
stay in the Palace tower, then the bathrooms are easily a 10
and the room is a 9 because they are so new, clean and are
showing no signs of wear. The Forum tower is a nice standard
room tower and the location of the tower is great because
you go down the elevators and you are at the Forum shops which
are the best shops in Las Vegas. A very nice pool setting with
many good looking women hanging out there. They even have
a topless pool which is to your immediate right as you enter
the pool area (there is a sign to let you know). Service
can be hit or miss depending on which employee helps you
out.

We stayed in the Palace Tower May 2002. The room was good sized. The bathroom was large. The view of the Bellagio fountains and pools were entertaining :). This trip my wife got sick, so we used the room and service a lot more than ussual. All things considered, we had a great stay.

A great hotel that is constantly being improved by PPE. The rooms are very nice and remodeled, and now that the grating has been removed one is able to look outside. The casino is a mix of old and new but the new owners are doing a great job of bring everything to a more common theme. The pool is great and has great drinks and service. Caesrs staff has always been friendly and helpful, all you need is available in this resort and you may not find yourself ever leaving the property. I really enjoy this place and never tire of visiting.

This used to be my favorite place. Unfortunately for the owners, other properties now far surpass what Caesars offers. The rooms are very nice and the new towers an attempt to keep up, but what was once great is now just OK.

Stayed in Forum Tower 10/8 to 1/11; room 7502. Definately old las vegas at its best. The grating is gone from the windows and you can see down to nyny. Room redone with lovely new furnishings but still has the old lv touches like jacuzzi on marble platform, mirrored ceiling huge shower lots of marble and gold fixtures but bestof all a chaise next to the window. The pools were spectacular and of course the casino was great as were the forum shops. Can u tell I really want to go back again.

Agree with others, in that some rooms are better than others. The Palace Tower rooms are great. Last stay was in the Forum Tower. Room was large, art-deco with lots of chrome. The room had mirrors everywhere including above the bed, jacuzzi in the bedroom, nice marble bath, but gawdy to say the least. The Palace Tower rooms are class all the way but a good hike from the casino. If you can get a good rate, this place is very accomodating and in a good location.

Over the years this great “old” hotel has reminded me of a terminal case of “suburban sprawl”. It seems as if attractions, certain gaming areas, lounges, shops have been shoehorned in wherever an electrical outlet can be found. There no longer seems to be a consistent theme that is always associated with the other high end resorts.

With all of their upcoming construction, I hope they can begin to package what they offer much better.

All depends on which tower you are in.The newer Palace tower has spectacular rooms.The other two are somewhat hit or miss.The room in the Centurion tower I stayed in last was nice but depressing.There is grating in front of the windows so there is absolutely no view at all.Also there is alot of construction going on outside.The bathroom was ok but the shower curtain was so flimsy water was constantly all over the floor(yes I did put the curtain on the inside).No problems with housekeeping or service.
