A dazzling new destination has arrived on the Las Vegas Strip. On Thursday, June 11, television personality, entrepreneur and restaurateur Lisa Vanderpump celebrated the official grand opening of The Vanderpump Hotel, expanding her acclaimed hospitality portfolio with the debut of her first hotel venture.
The evening began with a dramatic and unmistakably Vanderpump arrival. Vanderpump pulled up in a custom Rolls-Royce and made a theatrical entrance along the main casino floor flanked by bellmen. Wearing a shimmering silver dress with purple and green accents and long sheer gloves, Vanderpump was greeted by invited guests, VIPs and media attending the highly anticipated debut of the 188-room boutique hotel.
Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom, alongside Caesars Entertainment leadership, commemorated the milestone and presented Vanderpump with a Key to The Strip, recognizing her growing impact in Las Vegas and her evolution from restaurateur to hotelier.
Designed by Lisa Vanderpump and Nick Alain through their design company Vanderpump Alain, The Vanderpump Hotel brings Lisa Vanderpump’s signature “industrial romantic” aesthetic to life through a layered, highly personal approach that combines feminine elegance with a masculine edge. Bespoke Vanderpump Alain furnishings and lighting shape the space, while thoughtful details create a cohesive narrative throughout the hotel.
Playful nods to her British heritage are woven throughout the resort, from a striking mural of Vanderpump strolling through a rainy London street alongside an iconic red telephone booth, to a classic English taxicab installation welcoming guests from Las Vegas Boulevard. A gallery wall of black-and-white photographs showcases cherished moments from Vanderpump’s life, from family and close friends to a mix of famous and furry faces.
Across the casino floor, a dramatic 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 Lisa Vanderpump’s beloved late Pomeranian “Giggy,” serving as an endearing tribute to her canine companion and complemented by a menu of creative, inventive and delicious cocktails.
“The Vanderpump Hotel has been a true labor of love,” said Lisa 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. Additionally, cast members from “Vanderpump Rules” and “Vanderpump Villa” enjoyed the party. Guests enjoyed a curated selection of bites and cocktails inspired by Vanderpump destinations, complemented by offerings from GIADA, reflecting the hotel’s broader culinary experience. The evening concluded with 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 Sean McBurney, Chief Commercial Officer and Regional President of Caesars Entertainment. “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, Soleia, the elevated rooftop pool, Giada De Laurentiis’ namesake restaurant, GIADA, The Bar at The Vanderpump Hotel, Starbucks and a Caesars Sportsbook.
The Vanderpump Hotel marks the television star and entrepreneur’s first foray into hotels and builds on the success of her expanding Las Vegas footprint. Her collection of celebrated venues includes Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace, Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas, and the recently opened Pinky’s by Vanderpump at Flamingo Las Vegas, located just steps from The Vanderpump Hotel. Beyond Las Vegas, she continues to grow her hospitality brand with popular destinations such as WOLF by Vanderpump at Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe and, most recently, WOLF by Vanderpump at Caesars Republic Scottsdale, alongside her successful ventures in wine, spirits and lifestyle entertainment.
