Across the casino floor, a walkway is lined with chandeliers from the original resort, reimagined with new crystals and custom shades. The Vanderpump Hotel recently opened Gigolo, a sexy, sultry lounge named after Vanderpump’s beloved late Pomeranian “Giggy,” serving as a tribute to her canine companion and complemented by a menu of creative and inventive and cocktails.
“The Vanderpump Hotel has been a true labor of love,” said Vanderpump. “Like all my passion projects, this one is deeply personal. I think of it as my very own jewel box on the 50-yard line of the Las Vegas Strip – intimate, inviting and filled with carefully curated details that each tell a story.
“To finally share it with the millions of Las Vegas visitors from around the world is a dream come true. Working with the Caesars Entertainment team has been such a wonderfully collaborative experience, and I feel very fortunate to have such an incredible team and to have opened this beautiful hotel.”
Vanderpump was joined by some of her famous friends for the event, including Sharon Osbourne, Lance Bass and Garcelle Beauvais. alongside her husband Ken Todd. Additionally, cast members from “Vanderpump Rules” and “Vanderpump Villa” enjoyed the party, among them Tom Sandoval, who also attended the afterparty at Drai’s After Hours.
Guests enjoyed a curated selection of bites and cocktails inspired by Vanderpump destinations complemented by offerings from Giada by Chef Giada de Laurentis, reflecting the hotel’s broader culinary experience. The evening included an impressive a 600-drone show above the Las Vegas Strip.
“The grand opening of The Vanderpump Hotel marks an incredible milestone in our partnership with Lisa,” said Caesars Entertainment Chief Commercial Officer and Regional President Sean McBurney, who also participated in the Key to The Strip ceremony pre-celebration.
“What began as a conversation about a single cocktail lounge has grown into a meaningful and highly successful collaboration, now spanning multiple destinations and culminating in a hotel. Being part of Lisa’s next chapter in hospitality is a very special moment, and we couldn’t be more excited to open the doors of The Vanderpump Hotel and welcome our guests.”
The resort is also home to Drai’s After Hours, the elevated rooftop pool Soleia, Giada, Gigolo, The Bar at The Vanderpump Hotel, Starbucks and a Caesars Sportsbook.
