Visited Las Vegas for a bachelor party weekend and stayed at Caesars Palace.
Like the location, perfectly center strip. Walked to Planet Hollywood for dinner one night (Koi) and walked to Mirage for a night out (Jet). Place is very large, but amazingly the wait to check in and check out was super quick, which was wonderful.
When I first checked in, they said they had no more 2-beded rooms, but after pushing on them a little, they found one in the Forum Tower. Walked up to the room (long walk) and as I opened the room's doors, I heard a shriek from a woman inside and saw her lying on one of the beds. Pretty traumatic experience actually, still no idea what she was doing there in my room. Hurried down to the lobby and on the way to front desk, found a friendly woman manager, who helped sort it out and put me in another Forum Tower 2-beded room. Thought they were all out of them? That was obviously total BS.
Anyway, the rooms look to have been recently renovated and are pretty nice. Our room had a view of an outdoor balcony we couldn't access and the top of a garage. One of the worst views I've ever had at a Vegas casino, only the piece of crap Gold Coast was worse. Room itself was nice, comfy beds, stylish furniture, flat screen TV, big bathroom with a TV built into the mirror. Not bad for a $130/night.
Caesars is fine, casino actually isn't that large, and a portion of the blackjack tables are allocated to a section branded for the Pussycat dolls. The dealers there are gorgeous, and dressed in these awesome sexy outfits. As much as I was dying to play there with these hot chics, I didn't because the rules were absurd: only could double on 10 and 11, some other crap too. That totally sucked- how come all the dealers at every good casino aren't young hot chics? Caesars is on to something here, but they are being very unfair. I ended up winning a big hand later that day at the regular tables doubling on an ace and 3.
Had a few very mediocre meals here. The food court was a castastrophe. Had a turkey sandwhich from the "hand carved" station. This was butterball, or some other crap, no hand carving. Plus it took 30 minutes. I was incensed. Only went to that station because the crab shack was out of everything and the lines were longer at the other 4 or 5 windows. Had wanted to go to BLT Burger at Mirage next door, but was 2 days away from opening.
Had a very over-priced cheese danish and orange juice from the Payard bakery. OJ was like kind of fresh squeezed but not exactly. Had a mediocre cob salad at the Venus pool.
Aww, the Venus Pool. The Venus Pool was actually the best part about the whole place except it cost the 3 of us over $600. This is the pool that is famously "topless". Lets get this straight, the pool is not topless. A few girls, maybe 4, only 3 of which were hot went topless. The real allure here is the adult setting: No babies, no families, very few fat people, no old people, good music, an exclusive vibe. If we had stayed at the regular pool, probably would have left after about an hour. Instead we got a "table" at the venus pool (grey goose was $325), and stayed for about 6 hours downing the bottle and absorbing the scene.
Enjoyed this a lot and would do it again. Bill came to so much after food, bottled water, insanely high automatic gratuity, and some late afternoon beers. All in all, a good scene, but if Caesars wants to be taken seriously as a sexy exlusive place, the venus pool and its associated vibe and clientelle should be the standard pool- not something you have to pay a cover and upgrade so much for. Thats the difference btwn a place like this and a W or the Hard Rock, etc..
All in all, it was fine, but wouldn't come back. Said the same thing about MGM. For a younger sexier vibe, would rather hit Mandalay, Palms, or Hard Rock.
