Las Vegas just got a little more glamorous. On Thursday, June 11, television personality, entrepreneur, and restaurateur Lisa Vanderpump celebrated the official grand opening of The Vanderpump Hotel, marking the debut of her first hotel venture and another milestone in her ever expanding hospitality empire.
The evening began with an entrance only Vanderpump could pull off. She arrived in a custom Rolls Royce and swept across the main casino floor flanked by bellmen, wearing a shimmering silver dress accented with purple and green and finished with long sheer gloves. Invited guests, VIPs, and media gathered to witness the unveiling of the 188 room boutique property, one of the most anticipated openings the Strip has seen in recent memory.
Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom, joined by Caesars Entertainment leadership, marked the occasion by presenting Vanderpump with a Key to The Strip, honoring her growing influence on Las Vegas and her transformation from restaurateur to hotelier.
Designed by Lisa Vanderpump and Nick Alain through their design firm Vanderpump Alain, the hotel brings Vanderpump’s signature industrial romantic aesthetic to life with a layered, deeply personal sensibility that blends feminine elegance with a masculine edge. Custom Vanderpump Alain furnishings and lighting fill the space, and thoughtful design details tie every corner of the hotel into a single cohesive story.
Playful nods to her British roots appear throughout the resort, including a striking mural depicting Vanderpump strolling a rain slicked London street beside an iconic red telephone booth, and a classic English taxicab installation greeting guests as they arrive from Las Vegas Boulevard. A gallery wall of black and white photographs offers an intimate look at Vanderpump’s life, featuring family, close friends, famous faces, and beloved pets.
On the casino floor, a dramatic walkway is illuminated by chandeliers salvaged from the original resort and reimagined with new crystals and custom shades. The hotel also recently debuted Gigolo, a sultry new lounge named for Vanderpump’s late Pomeranian, Giggy, offering a heartfelt tribute alongside a menu of inventive, expertly crafted cocktails.
Vanderpump welcomed a starstudded crowd to the celebration, including Sharon Osbourne, Lance Bass, and Garcelle Beauvais, while cast members from Vanderpump Rules and Vanderpump Villa rounded out the festivities. Guests sampled a curated spread of bites and cocktails inspired by Vanderpump’s global ventures, along with dishes from GIADA, offering a taste of the hotel’s broader culinary lineup. The night closed with a dazzling 600 drone show lighting up the sky above the Strip.
Beyond its rooms, the resort houses an impressive lineup of entertainment and dining, including Drai’s After Hours, the elevated rooftop pool Soleia, Giada De Laurentiis’s namesake restaurant GIADA, The Bar at The Vanderpump Hotel, a Starbucks, and a Caesars Sportsbook.
The Vanderpump Hotel represents the star’s first foray into hospitality on this scale, building on an already impressive Las Vegas footprint that 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 away. Her brand continues to expand well beyond the Strip too, with destinations such as WOLF by Vanderpump at Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe and the newly opened WOLF by Vanderpump at Caesars Republic Scottsdale, alongside her thriving ventures in wine, spirits, and lifestyle entertainment.
