Caesars Palace

Roman-themed casino

Caesars Palace is a luxury hotel and casino on the Las Vegas Strip, opened in 1966 and designed around an ancient Roman theme.

The name deliberately omits the apostrophe—not Caesar's possession, but a palace for all Caesars, meaning guests.

It has hosted major boxing matches, concerts, and entertainers, becoming synonymous with Las Vegas glamour: We caught a show at Caesars Palace.
