1/26/08  Construction of Octavius Tower Begins Without Fanfare

It appears that construction of Caesars Octavius Tower has started.  A tower crane has been erected on the site with no formal announcement from Harrah's. The photo (right), by Mark Diederichsen, shows the crane.
 

6/28/07  Details Updated for Caesars Next Expansion

Harrah's went before the Clark County Planning Commission on 11/21/06 with details of their planned $1-billion expansion of Caesars Palace. The plans were approved on 12/20/06 and include:
 

• A new 29-story, 350-ft, 663-room Octavius tower next to the Augustus Tower, which will frame the pool area.

• An extension of the existing Convention Center.  

• A “pedestrian promenade" with several decorative fountains surrounded by landscaping which will guide strip-walkers into Caesars domain. Underneath the promenade, Caesars will excavate a parking garage, with 389 valet-parking spaces.  The timeline for construction was not disclosed.

Highlighted, are areas of the next  $1-billion expansion.

Augustus Tower Opens

8/12/05 The Augustus Tower is finally open and the new grand lobby (below-left) is quite stunning.  This ends 10 years of continuous construction which started with the groundbreaking of the Palace Tower and Forum Shops in 1995.

It will seem odd to have a Caesars Palace without jack-hammers and dust.  Almost everything throughout the resort has been renovated except the cottage cheese ceilings of the original casino (they really need to fix that).

Augustus Tower has some of Vegas' best views. The photo (below) is the south view with a front row vista of the Bellagio's fountains.

Caesars Palace

In August of 2005 the Augusta Tower, a 35-story 949-suite building opened on the south side of the property.

An additional pool, more meeting space, and a new Grand Lobby (twice the size of the original), are all part of the latest expansion.  Augustus Café is a new casual restaurant, while Michelin three-star chef Guy Savoy’s intimate dining room is one of the world’s finest gourmet rooms.  In addition to three all-new wedding chapels, the Augustus Tower houses a new 35,000 square-foot spa. Designed by Conversano.

The new Roman Plaza on the corner of The Strip and Flamingo Blvd. includes an outdoor restaurant and bar.  The Plaza is designed to guide guests to the entrance.
