Caesars Palace is a full-scale business destination wrapped in Roman columns, gold trim, and marble. Located in the heart of the Strip, it has high-end accommodations and flexible meeting setups. Its iconic status is better than almost any other venue in town.
A Look Back
Caesars Palace has been around since 1966. Jay Sarno built it to bring ancient Roman flair to the desert. He wanted it to feel larger than life, and he nailed that from day one. The opening night party was extraordinary, even by Vegas standards. Back then, not even all the rooms were finished yet, but it didn’t matter. People came for the spectacle. The name changed from Desert Cabana to Caesars Palace before opening. It wasn’t meant to be mundane. The place quickly became a symbol of Vegas excess, in the best way. Ownership has changed hands more than a few times: Hilton, ITT, Harrah’s, and now Vici Properties, with Caesars Entertainment running the show. Through all the changes, the spirit has stayed the same: grand and unmistakably Vegas. The venue has had nearly a dozen renovations over the decades. Each update brought new rooms, towers, ballrooms, or tech upgrades. But the Roman aesthetic has stuck.
What You Get Now
The property has grown into a huge footprint on the Strip. Caesars has nearly 4,000 rooms across six towers: Augustus, Centurion, Roman, Palace, Octavius, and Forum. That alone gives you plenty of options for putting up your team, clients, or event attendees. The gaming floor covers 124,000 square feet. Business travelers are more focused on the 300,000 square feet of meeting and event space. Within that, you’ve got 75 meeting rooms to choose from, and the layouts are flexible. The biggest option is the Julius Ballroom. It spans over 50,000 square feet and can fit more than 5,500 people theater-style or over 4,000 for banquet-style setups. The space can be split into smaller areas as well. There’s also 50,000 square feet of exhibit space ready to go. If it’s a full convention, product launch, or corporate event, the footprint can adjust without any odd compromises. Then there’s The Colosseum. Originally built for Celine Dion’s residency, it’s now one of the go-to options for major event presentations. It holds more than 4,300 people and comes with top-tier production capabilities. For big speeches or show-stopping sessions, it works.
