Staying at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas

This opulent hotel is a tribute to the Roman gods and Roman splendor! The place is enormous, and it takes a brave soul to explore all of it. I tried but after 3 hours walking explored only one side of the hotel. However, this was the side with the Forum shops- which affords world class shopping and a décor to match!

The beautiful feature of the hotel is the many statues of Roman gods, all of which are full-size marble replicas. The outside gardens boast both statuary and highly manicured gardens with fountains.

It gets hot here in Vegas, as in 104 degrees at 7 PM kind of hot! I know everyone says it’s a dry heat- but hey, 104 degrees is 104 degrees and it’s hot! However, you can still sit outside and enjoy a libation of choice (as I did this afternoon) under several outdoor bar-tents which also spray a cooling mist on the perimeter.

Perhaps the best part of Caesar’s Palace is its location. It’s in the center of the “strip” and also takes up the most space! It’s hard to miss Caesar’s Palace! The sheer size of the place from the outside is impressive.
Some weaknesses about Caesar’s Palace are the rooms and lack of amenities so many of us have become used to. The rooms themselves are dated, and there are no refrigerators in many of the rooms. The rooms that do have them charge for every cup of coffee you make! I’ve stayed in 2 different rooms and found them both to be “old” and in need of a “refreshening.” My mattress was saggy. I also found out this evening that housekeeping did not clean under the night stands.
You can’t walk through the hotel without being assaulted by the noise of the slot machines and cigarette smoke.

Guess that’s part of staying here.
The bathrooms in the rooms are great—spacious and luxurious! I love the roomy shower and the great soaking tub. The toiletries are also high quality.
The greatest negative about Caesar’s Palace is the lack of being able to get what you forgot from home without being SOAKED by the hotel. Charging $2.95 for a small bottle of Aquafina is extreme, and there is no convenience store or drug store nearby.
All in all- staying here was a joy and offense (the casino noise) to the senses, but also expensive.
Viva Las Vegas!!!
