$1 Billion Expansion and Remodel Project Going On at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas - Harrah's Announces

The following is a brief summary of the expansion and remodeling project going on at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. You may read the entire project details that were announced by Harrah’s on the Caesars Palace official site.

The expansion of Caesars Palace in Las Vegas will include the addition of a 23-story, 665 room tower, that will be called Octavius Tower. It is named after the great-nephew of Julius Caesar, who later changed his name to Augustus. The Octavius Tower is scheduled to open in early 2009.

The 263,000 square foot ball room and meeting center will be constructed on two levels. It will connect to the current Palace Tower and include three new swimming pools and more. The three new pools will be elevated and replace the Apollo and other outdoor spas. It is scheduled for completion the second quarter of 2009.

The spacious new guest rooms will have luxurious marble baths with dual showers and whirlpool tubs, flat panel televisions, bedside clock radios with iPod® docking stations, and premium linen-dressed beds. Floors 21 to 23 will require a “special key card” to access these levels. These floors are scheduled for completion the second quarter of 2009.

The existing Forum Tower of Caesars Palace is scheduled for a major refurbishment. The remodel will include a new front entrance, expanded valet parking, expansive new casino interior décor, remodeled buffet restaurant, redesigned Cypress Street Marketplace café and enlarged race & sports book. In addition, executive suites, penthouses, two-bay and two-story suites are staged to be developed.

Contact Caesars Palace directly for more information on the actual completion dates. The details provided in this article are for general information purposes. Caesars Palace can provide the most updated information available.

This project will raise this opulent, luxurious hotel to a new level and increase the number of rooms available to 4,013.

Caesars Palace decor will continue to be in the spirit of Rome and the Roman Empire.

If Julius Caesar or Augustus could see Caesars Palace today, they would surely feel as though they were still in Rome. The Roman Empire would be a lot more comfortable and exciting for them, however.
