KEY TAKEAWAYS
Caesars Palace Las Vegas is a large casino resort in the middle of the Las Vegas Strip, and according to Caesars Entertainment’s own fact sheet it covers 85 acres and sits about 10 minutes from Harry Reid International Airport. It opened on August 5, 1966, and as of October 2026 it is open and operating under the Caesars Palace name, with a casino of nearly 130,000 square feet, a race and sportsbook, and 3,980 hotel rooms and suites by the company’s count.
This guide describes the property from official sources: what the casino offers, how the hotel and amenities are laid out, what to budget beyond the room rate, and which rules and fees trip up first-time visitors. It does not rate the resort or rank it against others, because the facts below are better judged against your own priorities.
Caesars Palace at a Glance
The address is 3570 Las Vegas Boulevard South, Las Vegas, Nevada 89109. The resort combines a casino, six hotel towers, dining, a large entertainment venue, a mall and a pool complex on one campus. Caesars’ fact sheet lists its towers as Julius, Palace, Augustus, Octavius and Colosseum, plus the separately branded Nobu Hotel, and notes that the original main entrance, casino dome and porte-cochère were renovated in September 2022.
Because the property is large, plan around its size. Walking from the casino to the Forum Shops, the pool or the Colosseum can take real time, so visitors who dislike long walks may prefer a tower close to the amenities they plan to use. Caesars’ documents give slightly different room counts for individual towers, so treat tower-level numbers as approximate and confirm the room count for the category you are booking.
| Feature | Figure reported by Caesars |
|---|---|
| Resort size | 85 acres |
| Hotel rooms and suites | 3,980 (including the 182-room Nobu Hotel) |
| Casino space | Nearly 130,000 square feet |
| Colosseum theater | 4,300 seats |
| Forum Shops | More than 160 boutiques and restaurants |
| Pool complex | Five-acre Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis |
| Meeting and convention space | 300,000 square feet |

The Casino Floor and Sportsbook
Caesars describes the casino as a place to bet at the tables, the sports book or the slots, and its press kit puts the casino space at nearly 130,000 square feet. The Caesars Race & Sportsbook is the on-site wagering area. According to the company’s fact sheet, it has a 143-inch HD LED display, 140 seats and 13 betting windows. Sports betting at the venue is a land-based amenity; this guide does not cover any online products.
Table minimums are the question many visitors ask first, and the honest answer is that they vary by game, day and time. The official pages checked for this guide do not state one fixed number, so any minimum you read in an article, including this one, may be out of date. Walk the floor, read the sign at each table and ask a dealer or floor supervisor before you sit down. The same advice applies to poker: if a poker game matters to your trip, confirm whether a room is operating and when before you travel.
The casino was refreshed during the September 2022 renovation of the entrance and dome, according to Caesars. The company’s loyalty program, Caesars Rewards, is the program tied to rewards at its properties; the guide to how casino comps work explains the general idea of theoretical loss and rewards, without promising any particular benefit.
Hotel, Dining and Entertainment
The hotel is a major part of the property. Caesars’ press kit says the resort offers 3,980 rooms and suites, including the redesigned Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace, the renovated Colosseum Tower and THE VILLAS Caesars Palace, which it says holds an AAA Five Diamond rating. It also says both Caesars Palace and Nobu Hotel have AAA Four Diamond designations.
Dining ranges from the Bacchanal Buffet to restaurants branded by chefs such as Gordon Ramsay, Bobby Flay and Giada De Laurentiis, according to the same press kit, plus a celebrity food hall and several lounges. Entertainment is a real draw: the 4,300-seat Colosseum hosts headline performers, and the adults-only ABSINTHE show runs in front of the resort. Schedules change, so check the official calendar for dates.
Other amenities include the Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis, Qua Baths & Spa, five wedding chapels and the 75,000-square-foot OMNIA Nightclub. Caesars also lists an OMNIA Dayclub on Las Vegas Boulevard as coming in summer 2026, so confirm whether it has opened if that interests you. Guests under 21 cannot be in gaming areas.
Planning Your Visit and Budget
Start with the date. Las Vegas pricing swings with events and weekends, and the resort fee and parking are charged on top of the room rate. Caesars’ Las Vegas properties charge for self-parking, and the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported in January 2025 that self-parking at Caesars properties was $20 Monday through Wednesday and $25 on other days, with valet at $50 at Caesars Palace and parking free for Platinum and higher Caesars Rewards tiers. Those figures are dated, so verify them when you book.
Next, price the whole trip rather than the room. Add travel, lodging with the daily resort fee, food, entertainment and a gambling budget set in advance. Decide the gambling budget first, then divide it by the number of sessions you plan to play.
Here is a fictional example, not a quote. Suppose travel is $350, three nights at $150 are $450, a resort fee of $45 a night is $45 × 3 = $135, food is $200, entertainment is $150 and the gambling budget is $600. Lodging with fees is $450 + $135 = $585 before tax, and the total is $350 + $585 + $200 + $150 + $600 = $1,885. If you play two sessions a day for three days, that is six sessions, so $600 ÷ 6 = $100 per session.
Comparing It With Nearby Resorts
Caesars Palace is one of several large Strip resorts, and the best choice depends on your priorities rather than a score. Use criteria you can check: room count, casino size, whether a sportsbook is on site, theater capacity and fees. The Bellagio guide and the Wynn Las Vegas guide on this site describe those resorts, so you can compare the same criteria side by side.
| Criterion | Caesars Palace (as of October 2026) | How to compare |
|---|---|---|
| Hotel rooms | 3,980 per Caesars | Check each resort’s official count |
| Casino space | Nearly 130,000 sq ft | Use the same unit and year |
| Sportsbook | Yes, 13 betting windows | Confirm on each property’s page |
| Theater | 4,300 seats | Compare seat counts and show schedules |
| Parking | Paid self-park and valet | Compare daily rates and tier perks |

Rules, Fees and Common Mistakes
The key rule is age. Nevada’s gaming law, NRS 463.350, says a person under 21 may not play, place wagers at, or loiter in or about premises where licensed games, race books or sports pools are operated. Bring valid photo ID, since staff may ask for it, and keep anyone under 21 out of gaming areas.
The biggest budget mistake is comparing room rates without fees. A daily resort fee is added to Caesars Palace room rates, and the amount has changed over time and differs between sources, so check the total shown at booking rather than a figure from an article. Parking is the second surprise.
Other mistakes are practical: underestimating walking distances, assuming a show or restaurant is open without checking, and letting a gambling session run past the budget you set. Never try to get around ID or age checks, and remember that rewards-program terms are set by the company, so read them before counting on any benefit.
