More About Caesars Palace Las Vegas

Explore Caesars Palace Resort Las Vegas

In the 1960s, luxury ruled. It was then, long before themed hotels rose to popularity, that Caesars Palace first paired the two and became one of the most epic and notable resorts on the Las Vegas Strip—and in the United States as a whole. With a hotel filled with marble columns, cypress trees and statues representing great Romans of the past, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a property that better represents the essence of Vegas than Caesars Palace Resort Las Vegas.

History

Caesars Palace was constructed in 1966, alongside neighboring hotels like The Desert Inn Hotel and Casino and Dunes Hotel, the latter which was imploded to make way for the Bellagio. Wynn and Encore now stand where the Desert Inn once resided.

When Sarno was ready to develop Caesars Palace, he received a backing of $10.6 million from Jimmy Hoffa and Allen Dorfman, in addition to the million they spent bankrolling casino markers in the early opening day. For these reasons, Caesars Palace had infamy early on. These ties didn’t mean the hotel lost the interest of the public. In Barbara Land’s A Short History of Las Vegas, she reveals that before the doors to Caesars Palace opened, it had already generated $42 million in advance bookings.

The hotel’s impressive history is graced with some of the most recognizable entertainers in the world. It was home to tapings of The Merv Griffin and Jerry Lewis Shows, Frank Sinatra, Liberace, Tony Bennett, Goldie Hawn, Joan Rivers, Diana Ross, Tom Jones, Willie Nelson, Sammy Davis, Jr., Radio City Music Hall Rockettes, the Beach Boys, Rod Stewart, Tina Turner, Liza Minnelli, Bette Midler and hundreds of others.

Through the years, it wasn’t unheard of to find yourself playing Baccarat alongside Harry Belafonte in the ‘70s or, especially in more recent times, witness the filming of a blockbuster film. In 1992, when Caesars Palace opened their luxury shopping mall, now known as The Forum Shops, they were home to Wolfgang Puck’s Spago, the very first celebrity-chef restaurant in Las Vegas. Who doesn’t love his Smoked Salmon Pizza?

Sports have also made an incredible mark on Caesars Palace history. In the 1970s and ‘80s, it regularly hosted sporting events including auto racing, boxing and volleyball tournaments. Boxing greats George Foreman, Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Evander Holyfield all competed in the Caesars’ ring. Several WWE events, including Wrestlemania IX in 1993 took place at Caesars Palace. And long before the Vegas Golden Knights took over NHL fandom in Las Vegas, Caesars Palace even hosted a few hockey games.

Fun Fact: If you’ve ever wondered why the hotel was named “Caesars” instead of “Caesar’s”, it’s because one of the hotel’s developers, Jay Sarno, wanted hotel guests to feel like a Caesar. He nixed the apostrophe and made it plural instead.

One of the most historical sports-related events was December 31, 1967, when Evel Knievel attempted a jump over the Caesars Palace fountains. His jump resulted in failure and a month-long coma for the stunt performer. However, Evel Knievel’s son returned to Caesars in 1989 and successfully completed the jump.

When you add the rich history, elaborate theming and top-notch entertainment to the luxurious accommodations, inspiring food and designer retail brands, Caesars Palace is seen by many as the premier place to stay in Las Vegas.

The Resort

Many hotels have evolved through the years. They’ve reinvented themselves time and time again, but Sarno’s vision for Caesars Palace is still standing strong. Who would think that a hotel based on life in Rome around 100 B.C., would be considered one of the most modern and luxurious places to stay on the Strip today? While the hotel and casino have undergone numerous remodels and updates, they’ve stayed true to the original concept. Rooms incorporate Greek-themed tapestries, vibrant colors symbolic of Roman times, and customer service fit for a king, or in this case, a Caesar.

Rooms

Across its 85-acres, Caesars Palace offers 4,000 hotel rooms, suites and villas. Each of the hotel’s six towers has a variety of lodging types, from posh rooms to breathtaking villas. The towers include Augustus, Octavius, Palace, Julius, Forum and most recently, Nobu.

A stay in a Caesars Palace room includes all the incredible amenities you would expect at a luxury five-star hotel. There’s a minibar, desk, flat-screen TV, complimentary toiletries by Apotheke, Wi-Fi, an in-room safe and phone. Each room is equipped with climate control and blackout drapes to encourage a restful night’s sleep. For guests with allergies, hypo-allergenic bedding is available upon request. Plus for a fee, visitors are welcome to on-demand movies and in-room massages. The hotel is child-friendly and can accommodate families with rollaway beds, play yards and infant beds. Each room is outfitted with ample square footage, starting at 350 square feet, depending on the exact room.

The room designs are unique to the tower they are in, as are the views they offer. Choose from pool, fountain, or Strip views when selecting your room. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can always let guest services surprise you. Each and every room this hotel has to offer is impeccable and will not disappoint.

Suites

Varying from one to three bedrooms, the suites at Caesars Palace are perfect for celebrating a special occasion. Suites range in size from 640 to 9,050 square feet and include amenities like separate dining, living and sleeping areas to help make your stay feel as comfortable as possible.

Caesars Palace even offers several affordable suites to accommodate visitors with slightly smaller pocketbooks. But don’t let the term “affordable” fool you, you’ll still feel like you are living large. These incredible options include the Octavius Petite Suite, Forum Petite Suite, Forum Classic Suite and Julius Premium Suite.

Some of the two- and three-bedroom suites at Caesars Palace include the Forum Tower Duplex, otherwise known as “The Hangover Suite,” made famous by The Hangover movie franchise, not-so-creatively named, “The Hangover Suite”. Contrary to popular belief, the suite available to rent out for bachelor parties and the like is not the same one that was used in the movie. The movie utilized a soundstage composed of elements from various Caesars Palace suites, primarily the Emperors Suite.

Others include Cleopatra Villa, Octavius Tower Penthouses, Manor Villa in Palace Tower. A few suites allow for online booking, while others require an inquiry form to be submitted. There are no shortage of suites to choose from.

Villas

For the Emperor in all of us, Caesars Palace offers elaborate villas. These awe-inspiring residences, starting at a mere 9,500 square feet, were clearly designed with sweet dreams and decadence in mind. Butler service comes standard as do floral arrangements and Rolls Royce Chauffeur Service with even a one-night stay. Stay for three and you’ll be receiving a $3,000 in-room food and beverage credit, elaborate seafood display, and Cristal Champagne alongside caviar as part of your Continental Breakfast.

Each Instagram-worthy villa touts its own unique style. And while a stay at one may feel wildly out of reach, you can still take a tour of each online, dare to dream, and imagine what it would be like to have everything you could ever want at your fingertips.

Caesars Forum

At Caesars Palace, the possibilities are endless when it comes to event space. With the impressive prospect of hosting 10,000 attendees at a given time, the Caesars Forum is built for large-scale events. It has over 300,000 square feet, including the two largest pillarless ballrooms in the world, the Octavius and Forum Ballrooms. Each space offers numerous configurations. Special venue options also include the Colosseum, which seats over 4,000, and the Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis. Fun fact, when events and meetings are hosted in Las Vegas attendance increases.

Wedding Chapels

From timeless to tropical, there are also five unique chapels on-site where you and your forever can say “I do.” All wedding packages offered at Caesars include a wedding coordinator, officiant or minister, photoshoot and video with your 45-minutes of chapel time. For those wanting to make their nuptials even more unforgettable, With any package you can add on a reception, flowers, special guests like Cleopatra, Roman guards and even Caesar himself.

Pools

Now, your hotel room might be your own private oasis, but the Garden of the Gods Pool is truly paradise. Access is complimentary to Caesars Palace and Nobu Hotel guests, but the pool is open to the public for a fee. Its outdoor space covers 4.5 acres and includes seven unrivaled pools. As the name implies, the Garden of the Gods is rich with a Roman bath-inspired aesthetic.

Arguably one of the most impressive pools in Vegas, here are some of the highlights:

The Fortuna Pool—Mix the excitement of the blackjack table with the serenity of the pool, and you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds. With four swim-up tables and convenient access to the Fortuna Bar you may never want to leave. Just be prepared for a higher-than-average buy in, especially on the weekends. The Venus Pool—Enjoy an adult-only experience, enveloped with blissful poolside lounge chairs and daybeds. When pools are open, be sure to check out night swim options which are sometimes offered here. The Apollo Pool—For those looking to return home with an impressive tan, this pool receives the most sunlight, you’ll fit right in as you sunbathe poolside. The Temple Pool—The 10,000 square foot Temple Pool is a great option for those just looking to get their toes wet. Possibly the most picturesque of the Garden of the Gods pools, the temple at the pool was made for Instagram. The Jupiter Pool—this one is recommended for families and sits slightly away from other pools. Here you will find kid-friendly features like games and bubbles. The Neptune Pool—At the Neptune Pool, there is never a shortage of energy or fun. Considered the social hub of Garden of the Gods, Neptune is certainly where the party starts. Its close proximity to the bar doesn’t hurt either. Bacchus Pool—The invite-only Bacchus Pool is specifically for celebrity guests and high rollers. You can also find your way to the Bacchus by reserving one of its cabanas.

For pool guests, try to avoid bringing more than is needed unless you plan to have reserved a dedicated daybed or cabana to store your stuff. The Garden of the Gods is a busy place most days and you may find options limited.

The Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis is currently closed and will reopen spring 2022.

Transportation

While you need not leave the hotel during your stay because—let’s face it—Caesars Palace has everything you could need, it is centrally located on the Las Vegas Strip.

Notables

Nobu Hotel

The sixth tower, Nobu Tower, is home to the boutique Nobu Hotel. Nobu sets itself apart from the rest of Caesars with its distinctively Japanese-inspired design.

The Color Salon by Michael Boychuck offers a complete menu of services ranging from hair and nails to makeup, tanning and waxing. Reservations are required to both the spa and salon.

Nightclubs

OMNIA Nightclub

From a day at the pool to a night out with friends, Caesars Palace has numerous on-property bars and the lavish OMNIA Nightclub. Needless to say, there is never a shortage of late-night fun.

When it comes to Las Vegas, things fit in best when they absolutely stand out and calling OMNIA something as simple as a nightclub feels like a disservice. OMNIA is a revolutionary and expansive entertainment experience. By the numbers, OMNIA includes three lounges and 96 VIP tables spanning the 75,000 square feet of the multi-level venue.

The technology forward venue blends modern luxury and innovation with the feeling of absolute royalty. The focal point of all this is the 22,000-pound kinetic chandelier hanging from the ceiling in the main room. It glows to the beat of the music and often finds itself immersed in even more theatrics as the venue’s aerialists dance from the skies and invigorate the room. This is where the dancing happens.

In the Heart of OMNIA you’ll find a more intimate space with the rich textures of wood, leather and antique brass. The sultry-chic aesthetic provides a space to sip and chill just steps away from the excitement.

As many theatregoers would agree, the opera boxes are some of the best seats in the house. The OMNIA balcony features 12 such spaces where people can observe the party people on the dance floor below. The open-air environment of the Terrace offers a glorious view of the Las Vegas Strip. It provides its own bar, dance floor, DJ and cabana seating.

Shows & Events

Outside of Caesars on The Roman Plaza sits a tent. Inside you’ll find a show that’s provocative, intriguing and sometimes ridiculous titled “Absinthe”.

Shows run nightly in the 600-seat theater.

Restaurants

Whether you came to play or came to work, don’t leave without visiting a Caesars Palace restaurant, or five. Featuring well-known celebrity chefs, cuisine from around the world, mixologists and service staff, the restaurants at Caesars are not to be missed.

Amalfi by Bobby Flay

Amalfi is not the traditional Italian fare you’re used to. Inspired by Flay’s many travels to the Mediterranean, this authentic restaurant is possibly more about the incredible coastal fish and seafood than it is the pasta. But don’t worry, the pasta is delicious too. With Salmon Carpaccio, Squid Ink Fettucini and Gnocchi Al Forno on the menu, there’s no way to go wrong. Simply put, Amalfi is nothing short of FLAY-vorful.

Bacchanal Buffet

Finding its rightful place as #1 on many a list of best buffets in Las Vegas, Bacchanal Buffet is a must for locals and tourists alike. At Bacchanal, the largest buffet on the strip with 25,000 square feet, you’ll take your tastebuds on a trip through Vietnam, Rome, Mexico and more. Whatever you do, leave room for dessert. Macaroons, caramel popcorn and yuzu tarts, oh my!

Snackus Maximus

Snackus Maximus is your poolside dining destination. Located at the Garden of the Gods Pool Oasis, Snackus Maximus offers a variety of food and drinks for pool-goers to replenish and hydrate their bodies. The food selection includes sushi, salads, sandwiches and snacks. All of these can easily be paired with a tempting and tropical treat, like The Gods Mimosa, from the drink menu for those over 21.

Beijing Noodle No. 9

At Beijing Noodle No. 9, the food and atmosphere photos will likely come before dining, but when you finally take that first bite you’ll feel like you’re walking along the sidewalks of Hong Kong. Where else can you find authentic hand-pulled noodles in the center of the Las Vegas Strip? An upscale yet casual dining experience with a simple elegance to everything they do.

Café Americano

For 24-hour grub, Café Americano is the place to be. Home of the Bloody Mario, their signature Bloody Mary drink. It’s  a fan favorite for those looking to deter a hangover.

Hell’s Kitchen

Beef Wellington anyone? Gordon Ramsay’s Hell’s Kitchen debuted on the strip in 2018. Be sure to order the “Notes from Gordon” on the cocktail menu and you’ll feel just like a contestant on Ramsay’s hit reality show because alongside the Plymouth gin you’ll find a scroll complete with one of his laughable insults he is known for. Also, plan ahead. Reservations are highly recommended, especially on the weekend.

Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill

The Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill is another Caesars Palace restaurant offered by the multi-Michelin Star winning chef. A more casual option than Hell’s Kitchen, this English Pub features classics like Scotch eggs, sticky toffee pudding, and fish and chips.

Restaurant Guy Savoy

Michelin-star chef Guy Savoy presents Restaurant Guy Savoy. Recognized as the best restaurant in Las Vegas, the formal Restaurant Guy Savoy serves French dining at its peak. The more adventurous you are when it comes to the menu, the better. This is not the place to order your restaurant “go-to.” Ideally, you’ll be able to take a seat at a Krug Chef’s Table to enjoy a tasting menu of impressive caliber. That menu is sure to include signature dishes you’ll get to watch be prepared like Colors of Caviar and Octopus Terrine.

MR CHOW

Who wouldn’t be “all in” at the thought of a Champagne trolley? That alone should get you in the door, but at MR CHOW you’ll experience that and so much more. Delicious noodles and Beijing Duck, exemplary service and the ever-evolving kinetic “moon” sculpture that engages you while you eat demonstrate why MR CHOW has earned a five-star Diamond Award by the American Academy of Hospitality Sciences.

Pronto by Giada

Pronto by Giada is a quick serve dining option that keeps up with the hustle and bustle of a fast-paced city like Las Vegas. The menu offers breakfast, lunch, coffees and wines. Open until 4 p.m., enjoy the delightful delightful Italian bites for dine in or take out.

Old Homestead Steakhouse

Old Homestead Steakhouse has been around for decades with the original being established in 1868. Fine dining in the most classic sense, Old Homestead Steakhouse specializes in the finest cuts of meats and pairings with wine from their 15,000-bottle glass cellar.

Forum Food Hall

In addition to these, Caesars Palace also offers two Starbucks locations, a Forum Food Hall featuring a collection of quick-serve dining options like Bobby’s Burgers, Earl of Sandwich, Difara Pizza, Taco, Crepes and More and The Halal Guys.

Casino

With a Race & Sportsbook, over 1,300 slot machines, nearly 200 table games and a 4,500 square foot poker room, the casino floor at Caesars Palace is a destination in and of itself. If you plan to play, plan to secure yourself a complimentary Caesars Rewards card first. Earn points with every hour played at a table and pull of the slot machine lever. With points come rewards and those rewards are in the form of free hotel stays, room upgrades, airfare credits, free bet credits and beyond.

Shopping

While there are a handful of retail outlets just off the casino floor offering necessities like toiletries, food and drink, magazines and phone chargers, most of the shopping can be found in the adjoining Forum Shops. With 160 specialty stores and restaurant options, the Forum Shops are the ultimate shopping destination in Las Vegas. Expect designer brands with each step, like Gucci, Versace and Armani.

The Future

When it comes to Caesars Palace, the future is all about food.

For starters, there is the highly anticipated arrival of the Cronut at Dominique Ansel Las Vegas. Chef Dominique Ansel is a James Beard Award-winning pastry chef whose new shop will be debuting spring 2022. It will offer a wide range of indulgent and exclusive-to-Las Vegas creations.

Peter Luger Steak House is expected to open by year-end. This will be the Michelin-star restaurant’s first United States expansion, previously only being located in New York. The steakhouse is sure to attract visitors and locals alike.

Will we see you there in 2022? A stay at Caesars will give a definitive answer to the age-old question, “Are you not entertained?” The answer being a resounding yes.

Rule The Roost at Caesars Palace Casino on the Strip

High-end casinos such as Caesars Palace Las Vegas both mail and email offers for comped rooms to select guests who sign up for their Rewards Cards. Fortunately, you don’t have to be a heavy gambler or have a big travel budget to benefit. This palatial Las Vegas hotel and casino participates in Caesars Rewards, where you can find perks for guests in all budget ranges.

How to Earn Caesars Rewards at Caesars Palace

The Caesars Rewards program offers two main types of rewards. Tier Credit establishes your player status at the resort as Gold, Platinum, Diamond or Seven Stars. Reward Credit determines how many points you have to spend at Caesars Palace Las Vegas or other Caesars properties.

You may also get free room offers, and using them has no impact on your Rewards Credits. To check for offers, visit Caesars Rewards, log into your account, click on Profile and then on My Offers. Don’t register for a Rewards Card online because activating the account will trigger first time bonus offers like Match Bets or Free Play. The promotions are good for one day only, so don’t sign up until you’re in the casino.

Earn When you Book Your Room

For every Tier Credit earned, you receive one Reward Credit. Tier Credits have no dollar value and each Reward Credit equals one cent. That means you would have to accumulate 100 Reward Credits to earn $1. Hotel guests receive one Tier Credit and one Reward Credit for every $1 spent on rooms and resort fees. Reservations must be booked on the hotel’s website. The Octavius Tower and the Augustus Tower share a reputation for opulence.

Collect Rewards While Drinking, Dining and Enjoying Shows

There is so much fabulous food at this Las Vegas Strip hotel and casino, it would be easy to eat your way to Seven Stars status. Earn one Tier and one Reward Credit for every $1 spent at participating Caesars Palace restaurants including Bobby Flay’s new Italian restaurant Amalfi, Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen, Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, Beijing Noodle No. 9, Pronto by Giada and the Bacchanal Buffet. Accumulate credits at most bars on the property and when purchasing tickets to see top performers like Rod Stewart. The legendary rock star is performing in May 2022 at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

Shop and Earn

Does your dream vacation involve spending money outside the casino? You may feel like you’re outdoors in Rome, but you’re really strolling through the Forum Shops inside Caesars Palace. Earn one Tier and one Reward Credit for every $1 spent at participating stores including Caesars Activewear, Caesars Exclusively and Emperor’s Essentials.

Relax and Earn

Spend the day getting wet and earn one of each type of credit for every $1 spent on sundries, drinks and other purchases at the pool. Guests can also use the fitness center and earn rewards while unwinding at Qua Spa & Salon and Color Salon.

Comps and Promotions

How Comps are Calculated

In the long run, the house keeps a piece of every dollar a gambler risks in a casino. That’s why employees at Las Vegas casinos are happy to offer rewards to loyal gamblers. Comps are based on the average dollar amount a player is expected to lose each day, known as average daily theoretical [ADT]. It’s the way a casino calculates what a player is worth to them. Slot machines are the most profitable way to raise your ADT.

To calculate your ADT, the pit boss observes your play. He records how much you cashed in and out for, how long you stayed at the table and how much you bet. Typically, an average bet of $25 per hand is required to have your play rated at a Las Vegas Strip hotel casino. One way in which ADT is determined is by the expected loss of the game, multiplied by how long you play multiplied by the size of your wager. In the end, the casino comes up with a dollar figure representing how much it expects you to lose each day, and comps you around 20 to 30% of that amount.

Back-End Comps

Hotel and casino guests who gamble a lot can request comps, and sometimes they will be granted. Charge everything to your room and before checkout, contact a casino host or speak to the person behind the rewards desk. Ask them to review your play and see if they can remove any of your charges.

How to get More Comps

Remember to put your players card in the machine or hand it to the dealer, but not every time you’re in the casino. When you don’t plan to gamble long or invest much money, leave your card in your wallet. Here’s why: put $500 into play over five hours on Saturday, then blow off $50 before your flight on Sunday and you’ll ruin your good rating. Go ahead and play on Sunday, just don’t use your players card.

It may not be what you had planned, but you’ll earn the most comps by depleting your entire gambling budget in one day at the same casino. Gambling $600 during the same day will earn you a much higher rating and more free stuff than betting $200 in chips each day for three days.

Always Take Advantage of Promotions

From time to time, Caesars Rewards offers multipliers, giving guests bonus credits for every dollar spent. In late December 2021, a 5x Tier Credit multiplier event meant anyone lucky enough to be at a Caesars property could rack up Tier credits at record speed. The extra credits aren’t applied automatically. Make sure to register for all promotions.

Use a Casino Host 

Think of your casino host as a concierge at a hotel.  A host will remember the things that you like and get you good comps. Big betters are often pursued by casino hosts. If that hasn’t happened, a player can ask the rewards desk to check their play to see if they qualify for one.

Line of Credit

Most large casinos, including Caesars Palace, allow players to apply for a line of credit. This gives a player the freedom to gamble without carrying cash or being burdened by the constraints of daily ATM limits and fees. The minimum amount that can be requested is $2500. The application is on the resort’s website. If approved, the casino gives you a marker that can be traded to the dealer for chips. Typically, a player has 30 days to pay off a marker, but the casino prefers you settle up before check-out.

Games at Caesars Palace Casino

Video Poker

If you’re serious about earning comps and have the bankroll, video poker offers some of the best odds in the casino. The house edge is small and the player can make mathematically perfect moves with the help of strategy charts you can find online or in casino gift shops. The game moves slowly, so you will get a fair amount of entertainment value for your expected loss.

You’re dealt five cards on a video monitor. You choose to hold or discard any or all your cards. Press the hold button under each card you want to keep and spin the reels to replace the rest.

Blackjack

Caesars has seven six-deck blackjack tables paying 3:2, double after split, late surrender. Betting is: $25 to $2,500; $50 to $5,000; 100 to $10,000; and $200 to $10,000.

The way to win at blackjack is to come closer to 21 than the dealer without busting. A set of rules, called basic strategy, reduces the casino’s edge to .05% when followed perfectly. Draw a 16 for a starting hand, and you may not want to hit, but when the dealer’s up card is a 7 or 8, basic strategy says to do it. When the table doesn’t allow surrender, hit on a 10 – ace as well. Basic strategy charts are available online and at casino gift shops, and it’s okay to use them at the table as long as you don’t slow down the game.

Card counters gain an edge over the house by keeping track of how many high cards [10 – ace] and how many low cards [2 -6] are left in the deck. When there are more high cards left, the counter starts to raise his bets, and may play more than one hand at a time. When there are more low cards left, the counter places the minimum bet or leaves the table.

Roulette

Caesars Palace has four Double Zero and three Triple Zero roulette wheels with limits at $15, $200 and $2000. The game starts when the dealer spins a roulette wheel with 38 slots numbered 1 to 36, zero and double zero. The dealer releases a ball and players test their luck by picking the slot where the ball will land. Place a $10 chip on a single lucky number and it’s called a straight bet. Get your $10 dollars back plus an additional $350 if you win. It’s a long shot, but at 35:1, it has the highest payout ratio at the table.

Craps

Caesars Palace has six craps tables, with limits ranging from $15 to $5000. Have you ever noticed that everyone at the craps table feels like your friend? The players are animated and familiar. It’s almost as if the gamblers at the table had known you their entire lives.

Most of them—90% according to a recent study—bet on the Pass Line, or with the shooter. With a Pass Line bet, the whole table can cheer for the same side and celebrate wins together. The Don’t Pass Line bet is a wager against the shooter.

The player is encouraged by his tablemates as he shoots the dice on his come out roll, aiming for a seven or 11. Shoot a natural and all bets on the Pass Line get paid. Roll two, three or 12 and lose instantly. Hit a four, five, six, eight, nine or 10 and that becomes your come out point. To win the bet, roll your point again before rolling a seven.

Baccarat

This is a good game for gamblers with great instincts and a feeling about what’s coming next, because baccarat is a guessing game. A player has to decide who will have the winning hand before the cards are dealt. The player has three choices: the player, the banker or a tie.

A nine is the best hand in the game of Baccarat. If the player or banker draws an eight or nine, he wins. If the totals are both nine or eight, it’s a tie. Draw any other number and the dealer consults the rule book. A bet on the banker gives the best odds.

Slots

More than 1,300 one-arm bandits line the casino floor at Caesars Palace Las Vegas. Denominations start at a penny, and go up to $500 per spin. Play your favorite slot machines including Triple Double Diamond, Wheel of Fortune and Buffalo. Feeling lucky? This could be the time you win the progressive jackpot, so keep betting max if that’s your goal.

Poker

Caesars Palace is home to a 4,500-square-foot poker room that has recently relocated to the heart of the casino floor. Find the poker room between the Colosseum and the Race & Sports Book. It has cash tables and four daily tournaments with buy-ins from $100 to $150 with a $50 add-on. The top two prize pools pay $2000 each. Poker players are motivated to bring their gambling money to Caesars Palace because the poker room pays comps at a rate of $2 an hour. This is unheard of as $1 an hour is the norm all over Las Vegas.

Pai Gow Poker

One of the ways this poker variant differs from conventional hold’em is that the player places a bet before seeing his cards. A Pai Gow deck has 53 cards including a joker, which can substitute as an ace or complete a straight or flush.

The hand rankings are the same as in Hold ‘em with two exceptions. A wheel [ace – five straight] is the lowest straight in traditional poker, but in Pai Gow, it’s the second highest, only behind 10 – ace. Next, four aces and a joker is called five of a kind and it replaces a royal flush as the highest ranking hand in the game.

The Pai Gow Poker player has to make two hands: a two card hand and one with five cards. The five card hand has to out rank the two card hand which can only be high cards or a pair.  Beat both of the dealer’s hands to win at Pai Gow Poker.

Let it Ride Poker

Unlike at a traditional poker table, you’re not competing with the players seated around you at a Let it Ride game. Their cards mean nothing and the dealer’s don’t matter either. Only the player’s cards are important in Let it Ride. Draw a pair of 10’s or better and make even money. Hit a royal flush and get paid 1000:1. Make a pair smaller than tens and you lose the hand.

Once you see your hand, tuck your cards under your first bet, if you like what you’ve been dealt, and Let it Ride. Not thrilled with your cards? Scratch them on the table to signal the dealer that you want to Pull Back your first bet. Face down on the felt are two community cards which can be used by any player to improve the strength of his hand. The first community card is revealed and the player can Let it Ride or Pull Back his second bet, but the third bet remains on the table. After the dealer shows the second community card, he turns over all the players’ hands and identifies winners.

Three Card Poker

The rankings are the same as with traditional poker with a few exceptions. In Three Card Poker, three of a kind beats a straight, and a straight beats a flush. Straights and flushes in this game only require three cards to be complete.

To start the game, place a bet on the ante or the middle triangle. Three cards will be dealt to each player and the dealer. If you like your cards and want to continue, put an equal bet on the play, or the bottom triangle, and position your cards face down under your chips. Prefer to fold? Place your cards face down in front of your first bet.

You don’t have anyone to beat except the dealer, so any king high or better is too good to fold. You win your ante bet only if the dealer doesn’t have queen high or better when he reveals his cards. Whoever has the best hand wins at showdown, and the player is paid even money.

Pair Plus is a side bet that the player will draw a pair or better. The house advantage on this bet is a hefty 7.29%. Pair Plus pays even money for a pair up to 40:1 for a straight flush. A Six Card Bonus is a side bet that looks at the best five card hand you can make using all your cards and the dealer’s cards. It takes three of a kind or higher to win.
