LAS VEGAS—Television personality, entrepreneur, and restaurateur Lisa Vanderpump officially opened The Vanderpump Hotel on June 11, marking her first venture into the hotel industry and expanding her growing hospitality portfolio in Las Vegas.
A Caesars Entertainment property, the 188-room boutique hotel on the Las Vegas Strip debuted with a grand opening celebration. Vanderpump arrived in a custom Rolls-Royce and made a dramatic entrance through the hotel’s casino, accompanied by bellmen. Invited guests, VIPs, and media attended the event.
Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom and Caesars Entertainment executives commemorated the opening by presenting Vanderpump with a key to the Strip, recognizing her contributions to Las Vegas hospitality and entertainment.
Designed by Vanderpump and Nick Alain through their design firm, Vanderpump Alain, the hotel showcases Vanderpump’s signature “industrial romantic” style. The design combines feminine and masculine elements through custom furnishings, lighting, and layered décor intended to create a highly personalized guest experience.
The property incorporates references to Vanderpump’s British heritage, including a mural depicting her walking through a rainy London street beside a red telephone booth and an English taxicab installation near the resort entrance. A gallery wall of black-and-white photographs highlights personal moments from Vanderpump’s life, including images of family, friends, and pets. The hotel’s main floor features a chandelier-lined walkway created from restored fixtures from the original resort. Gigolo lounge, named in honor of Vanderpump’s late Pomeranian, Giggy, offers a menu of specialty cocktails and serves as one of the hotel’s signature gathering spaces.
“The Vanderpump Hotel has been a true labor of love,” said 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.”
Celebrity guests at the grand opening included Sharon Osbourne, Lance Bass, and Garcelle Beauvais, along with cast members from Vanderpump Rules and Vanderpump Villa. Guests were treated to food and beverage offerings inspired by Vanderpump’s hospitality concepts, as well as selections from the onsite GIADA restaurant. The celebration 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, CCO 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.”
Located near CAESARS FORUM Conference Center and Caesars Palace, The Vanderpump Hotel includes several dining and entertainment venues, including Drai’s After Hours, Soleia rooftop pool and event venue, GIADA restaurant, and The Bar at The Vanderpump Hotel.
The opening represents Vanderpump’s latest expansion in Las Vegas, where her hospitality portfolio includes Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace, Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas, and Pinky’s by Vanderpump at Flamingo Las Vegas. The brand also includes WOLF by Vanderpump locations at Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe (Nev.) and Caesars Republic Scottsdale in Arizona, along with ventures in wine, spirits, and lifestyle entertainment.
