Television star and restaurateur Lisa Vanderpump turned the fountains pink and welcomes guests to her first Las Vegas venue- available for buyouts and accommodating special events up to 150
LAS VEGAS (April 12, 2019) - Caesars Palace became "Lisa's Palace" last week as the resort property celebrated the grand opening of Vanderpump Cocktail Garden with television star and restaurateur Lisa Vanderpump. Available for events of up to 150, Vanderpump Cocktail Garden is the newest addition to the iconic Los Angeles-based Vanderpump empire and offers exclusive cocktails and bites, all in a garden oasis setting. In addition to a full buyout, there are two venues that planners can choose from, including the interior back lounge which accommodates 50 seated guests or up to 70 standing, as well as the patio for 50 seated guests. Requests for celebrity appearances including Lisa Vanderpump, Pandora Vanderpump Sabo or the Vanderpump Cast are based on availability.
Vanderpump was joined by some of her famous friends for a star-studded opening, including Camille Grammer, Lance Bass and the cast of "Vanderpump Rules." In true Vanderpump-fashion, Caesars Palace's iconic fountains were turned pink and all of the resort's signature roman statues were adorned with pink roses in homage to the newest member of the Caesars Palace family.
"It is such an honor that Caesars Palace asked us to partner with them on this venture- we were thrilled to become part of the Caesars Family," said Lisa Vanderpump. "We have created a unique, decadent space with a majestic feel where guests can relax in a sexy garden oasis. From the design and ambiance (featuring the incredible Nick Alain lighting, fixtures and furniture) to the selection of light bites and cocktails, I am proud of what we created and hope everyone will enjoy the experience as much as we do!"
With design inspiration from Vanderpump, husband Ken Todd, and designer Nick Alain, the stunning space welcomes guests with an indoor patio featuring an al fresco-style garden with 16-ft. olive trees and romantic lighting fixtures. The romance continues as the lounge inside elegantly fuses natural elements with industrial décor, including Lisa's signature feminine touch with contrasting masculine details. With plush seating throughout, and a space that transports guests into a decadent destination, Vanderpump Cocktail Garden is perfect for a casual gathering or big night out.
Vanderpump Cocktail Garden focuses on innovative craft cocktails including The Checkmate (Stoli hot vodka, Chacho jalapeno vodka, fresh pineapple, grapefruit liqueur, vanilla citrus, angostura bitters and pink peppercorns), Please Her, Caesar! (Vanderpump vodka, Rosé Champagne, blackberry, elderflower, lemon, aquafaba), and Matcha Man Vanderpump vodka, matcha, fresh mint, lemon, ginger liqueur, aquafaba). Favorites are sure to include the English Pimms Cup and the stunningly purple Giggy Tonic. Don't forget to end the night on a high note with a cocktail from the 'Naughty Nightcaps' portion of the menu.
Along with a diverse selection of beverages, the lounge also offers guests small bites, shareable plates and Instagram-worthy desserts. On the savory end, menu highlights include Ahi Tuna Tartare in Plantain Tacos (chili ginger citrus glaze, avocado, crispy capers), Grilled Cheese Tasting (whipped Brie & Gruyere, naan, thyme, Asian pear, rosemary ham), Roasted Red & Golden Beets with Goat Cheese, Lobster & Avocado Naan Flatbread and Provencal Phyllo Cigars (wild mushroom and walnut / sausage ham, and peppadew, green goddess crème fraîche). For those with a sweet tooth, you can't miss the Vanderpump Rosé Cake for Two (Rosé infused sponge cake, strawberry buttercream).
"We are incredibly proud to see this project and partnership with Lisa Vanderpump come to life," said Gary Selesner, regional president of Caesars Palace. "Vanderpump and her team together with our team have created an exceptional space that perfectly brings together the Los Angeles flair with the extravagance of the Strip, and we know it will quickly become a favorite of our guests."
Vanderpump joins Caesars Palace's eclectic lineup of celebrity restaurants including Gordon Ramsay HELL'S KITCHEN, Restaurant Guy Savoy, Pronto by Giada, Bobby Flay's Mesa Grill and MR CHOW. Vanderpump Cocktail Garden is open daily from 4 p.m.- 2 a.m. Beverage packages begin at $50 per person.
