Caesars Palace first opened on August 5, 1966, with a lavish opening party held by owner Jay Sarno and his partner, Nate Jacobsen. The first casino at the property, Circus Circus, was part of a scandal in 1969 due to ties with organized crime figures in New York and New England.
In 1970, Caesars opened up Centurion Tower, a 14-story tower that cost $4.2m to construct. This would later be renamed Nobu Tower in 2011 as part of renovations, with additional remodeling completed in 2021.
The original Roman Tower was extended in 1974, then again in 2001, with 20 rooms added for a total of 587 rooms and suites across 14 stories. As part of this project, it was renamed to Julius Tower. Another $75m renovation was completed in 2016.
The Forum Tower opened in 1979 and the Palace Tower opened in 1998.
In 1987, Caesars Palace announced plans to open the Forum at Caesars, which would function as a shopping center. The first shops would open from May 1, 1992, onwards.
The Forum would get a $65m expansion, which would open on August 29, 1997.
A three-story expansion was announced in 1998, but would begin construction in January 2003 due to turbulent leadership changes. The $139m project opened on October 22, 2004.
The Augustus Tower was announced in 2003, with plans for the 26-story hotel costing an anticipated $289m. It opened in 2005.
The Octavius Tower was part of an $860m expansion and opened in January 2012, with 668 rooms.
The casino section was renovated in June 2014, when Pure Nightclub annexed its space and the Race & Sports Book was opened in its stead. As part of this deal, the poker room was moved, as the previous location was taken to be used as part of the nightclub.
In September 2022, Caesars announced that it had completed its ‘multimillion-dollar’ renovation of its entrance lobby.
After being accused of having ties to organized crime, the casino was sold to restaurant chain owners Stuart and Clifford S. Perlman for $60m. The pair would then drop their restaurant operations and rebrand as Caesars World.
Caesars World would undergo several changes, but would ultimately be bought in 1995 for $1.7bn by ITT Corporation, then for $3bn in 2000. After this acquisition, Park Place would also rebrand, taking on the name Caesars Entertainment in 2004.
In 2005, Harrah’s Entertainment bought the brand, also changing its name to Caesars Entertainment in 2010.
On November 5, 2019, luxury villa rental company Villas of Distinction, owned by World Travel Holdings, announced it would sell luxury villas at the famed Caesars Palace Las Vegas and Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace.
On September 17, 2021, a multi-year deal was announced with LSU Tigers and a branded space was built inside Tiger Stadium: the Caesars Sportsbook Skyline Club.
