LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Television personality and restaurateur Lisa Vanderpump celebrated the grand opening of The Vanderpump Hotel on Thursday, marking her first hotel venture.
Vanderpump arrived in a custom Rolls-Royce and made an entrance along the main casino floor flanked by bellmen. Wearing a shimmering silver dress with purple and green accents and long sheer gloves, she was greeted by invited guests, VIPs and media.

Design and details
Designed by Vanderpump and Nick Alain through their design company Vanderpump Alain, the 188-room boutique hotel features what Vanderpump calls an “industrial romantic” aesthetic that combines feminine elegance with a masculine edge.
Nods to her British heritage are woven throughout the resort, from a mural of Vanderpump strolling through a rainy London street alongside a red telephone booth to an English taxicab installation welcoming guests from Las Vegas Boulevard. A gallery wall of black-and-white photographs showcases moments from Vanderpump’s life.
A walkway across the casino floor is lined with chandeliers from the original resort, reimagined with new crystals and custom shades.
New lounge opens
The hotel recently opened Gigolo, a lounge named after Vanderpump’s late Pomeranian “Giggy,” serving cocktails.
“The Vanderpump Hotel has been a true labor of love,” said Vanderpump. “Like all my passion projects, this one is deeply personal. I think of it as my very own jewel box on the 50-yard line of the Las Vegas Strip – intimate, inviting and filled with carefully curated details that each tell a story.”
Celebrity guests attend
Vanderpump was joined by Sharon Osbourne, Lance Bass and Garcelle Beauvais. Cast members from “Vanderpump Rules” and “Vanderpump Villa” also attended the party.
Guests enjoyed bites and cocktails inspired by Vanderpump destinations, complemented by offerings from GIADA. The evening concluded with a 600-drone show above the Las Vegas Strip.
“The grand opening of The Vanderpump Hotel marks an incredible milestone in our partnership with Lisa,” said Sean McBurney, chief commercial officer and regional president of Caesars Entertainment. “What began as a conversation about a single cocktail lounge has grown into a meaningful and highly successful collaboration, now spanning multiple destinations and culminating in a hotel.”
Expanding portfolio
The resort is also home to Drai’s After Hours, Soleia, the elevated rooftop pool, Giada De Laurentiis’ restaurant GIADA, The Bar at The Vanderpump Hotel, Starbucks and a Caesars Sportsbook.
The hotel builds on Vanderpump’s expanding Las Vegas footprint. Her collection of venues includes Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace, Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas and Pinky’s by Vanderpump at Flamingo Las Vegas.
Beyond Las Vegas, she operates WOLF by Vanderpump at Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe and Caesars Republic Scottsdale.
