A Bold New Boutique Experience on the Las Vegas Strip
The wait is nearly over for Lisa Vanderpump’s first-ever hotel, The Vanderpump Hotel. This reimagined boutique property—replacing The Cromwell—will elevate both the heart of the Las Vegas Strip and Caesars Entertainment’s broader Las Vegas portfolio. The hotel is home to Soleia, formerly Drai’s Beachclub & Nightclub, which serves as both the resort pool and a dedicated event space offering sweeping views of The Strip. Group bookings are available at caesarsmeetings.co/TVH2026Launch beginning May 2026.
“Taking the next step from restaurateur to hotelier and partnering once again with Caesars Entertainment on another extraordinary project has been such an exciting chapter for me,” said Lisa Vanderpump. “Our vision was to create a room that feels like a true retreat, a calming escape just steps from the energy and excitement of the casino floor. The guest rooms are as beautiful as they are serene.”
The Vanderpump Hotel introduces a new kind of boutique experience for meetings and events professionals—one that blends high design, intimate scale, and exclusive VIP programming for groups seeking something distinctly elevated on the Las Vegas Strip and in proximity to CAESARS FORUM. The Cromwell’s transformation into The Vanderpump Hotel is underway. Anchored in the heart of The Strip at Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road, the boutique resort is being reimagined into a first‑of‑its‑kind destination. The 188 guest rooms and suites, designed by Lisa Vanderpump and her business partner, Nick Alain, feature a beautiful mix of moss-green hues and dusty lilac accents, creating a soothing palette with soft textures that encourage relaxation. Mixed metals, from warm gold accents to cool silver detailing, bring depth and sexy elegance to the space, while reflective furnishings help the rooms feel open, airy, and expansive. Vanderpump will also hand-select room amenities for guests.
In addition to reimagining the guest rooms, Vanderpump will extend her signature aesthetic to the hotel reception and check-in area, common public areas, and introduce an all-new lounge. The hotel will showcase custom furnishings and lighting fixtures created specifically for the hotel by Lisa Vanderpump and Nick Alain’s celebrated design line, Vanderpump Alain. The design embraces Vanderpump Alain’s “industrial romantic” style, blending rich textures and modern glamour that reflect Vanderpump’s refined taste. Guests will discover touches of Vanderpump’s personality throughout the destination, from her eye for detail to hints of her cheeky British humor.
“We are beyond excited to welcome The Vanderpump Hotel into our Las Vegas portfolio. Its unique design and elevated hospitality will deliver a completely new experience that is unmistakably Lisa Vanderpump—an exceptional entrepreneur and visionary restaurateur,” said Kelly Gleeson Smith, Senior Vice President of Sales at Caesars Entertainment. “With Soleia set atop this new boutique hotel, our clients gain even more opportunities to wow their attendees and create lasting impressions. This is exactly why our signature onecontract, onecontact approach is so effective—it empowers planners to be creative across our entire Las Vegas portfolio.” For additional insights from Kelly Gleeson Smith, click here.
