Caesars Palace Classic Hotel

Nice But Below The Top Hotels

by CSMobileUser3 at Citysearch

I stayed at Caesars several weeks ago. Check-in was easy although I was given a non-smoking room when I requested smoking. My room in the Forum tower was nice but unspectacular. There are some nice amenities like guest robes and a tv in the bathroom. My room has a shower only which was an unpleasant surprise. The property is very far flung with vast distances between certain areas. For example, the pool by the Palace tower is really far from the Forum tower. The layout is very confusing. I spent some time stuying the property map before my arrival which helped a lot. Prepare to get lost. The casino offers a wide variety of table games and machines. There are a number of very good restaurants and a food court which was better than expected. The Cafe Lago buffet includes a seafood tower for each table which was nice. Service was okay but I expected better. In spite of renovations, the hotel looks its age in spots. Pros: wide variety of games, very good restaurants. Cons: Inattentive check-in staff, confusing layout, showing its age a bit

A bit pricey, but very nice.

I stayed at Caesars Palace once back in 2002, but I was very happy with both the service and our room. We were greeted at the desk by Robert, and he was very thorough. He explained everything and told us where our room was (and it was what we requested). The Casino was great and the Forum shops really blew our mind the first time we were there ( an internal hotel mall as big as our local mall's back home). Since then the Casino is even better, and the Forum shops have grown even bigger. We make it a point to visit the Cheesecake factory as our first stop every visit. The aquarium just outside the Cheesecake Factory is also very cool to see, as is the Mythology animated show just in front of the aquarium (on every hour I believe). We did/have not spent much time in Caesars restaurants, so I can't comment on them. We have seen shows there in the past which have been very good (Celine Dion, and Elton John). I was not much of a Celine Dion fan, but the show was still good. In a nutshell, we had great service, rooms were very nice and clean, the casino was great, and it was very central to the LV Strip.

• Pros: Very nice rooms
• Cons: A little pricey

Woke up covered in Insect Bites? Bedbugs or Spider Bites?

I stay in Vegas about 4 times a year for business. I just returned from my company's conference at Caesar's Palace and I must say the room I had at Caesar's place was the WORST room I have ever stayed in during my 10 years of visiting Vegas!

I can forgive the extremely out dated room (it was clear that I was staying in one of their older towers). But, I cannot forgive the ROCK HARD Mattress that they gave me- my desk has more bounce to it. When I woke up in the morning I had insect bites all over my back. When I checked out of the hotel, I told the clerk about the bites and suggested that they have the room sprayed before anybody else stayed there. I did not mention the cement slab they gave me to sleep on as I didn't want to complain. The response I received back from the gal at the front desk was pure attitude. She said I could fill out a "security report" if I really wanted. I said that my obligation ended there, I told her about the problem and the hotel could choose to do what they wanted with that information. I'm guessing they did nothing. I don't know if there was a spider in my room or bedbugs, but when I got home at midnight I throw everything in the washing machine to be on the safe side.

When I receive a corporate rate that is several hundred dollars a night, I except more from a hotel. Go down the street, spend $79 bucks a night and get a clean bed to sleep in!!!!!!
