Temporary Suspension of Hotel Rooms at The Cromwell

The Cromwell, a well-known Caesars Entertainment property located on the Las Vegas Strip, is initiating a rebranding process that will temporarily halt its room reservations. Starting March 22, the hotel will stop accepting guests as it prepares for this transformation. However, its casino and restaurant facilities, including the popular Giada restaurant, will continue to operate normally during this period.

Transformation into The Vanderpump Hotel

This rebranding marks an exciting partnership with television personality Lisa Vanderpump, who is entering the hotel industry for the first time. The Cromwell will be renamed The Vanderpump Hotel, reflecting this new collaboration. Vanderpump is already affiliated with Caesars through other ventures, such as the Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace, Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas, and Pinky’s by Vanderpump at Flamingo.

Timeline and Progress of Rebranding

While the hotel confirmed the stop in guest accommodations from March 22, it has not specified how long the refurbishment will take. An initial announcement estimated the transition might last up to two months, although this originally was expected to begin in February. The cause of any delay remains unconfirmed. Meanwhile, the process is underway with the removal of The Cromwell’s branding across the property.

Continued Access to Casino and Dining

Guests looking to enjoy gaming entertainment need not worry, as the casino will remain open throughout the renovation period. Likewise, dining options such as the Giada restaurant will continue to welcome visitors despite the temporary hotel closure.

Potential Caesars Acquisition by Tilman Fertitta

In related news, businessman Tilman Fertitta has publicly expressed interest in acquiring Caesars Entertainment in a deal valued at approximately $7 billion, or $34 per share. If successful, this acquisition could become a landmark event in the American gaming industry. Fertitta’s intention aligns with his past efforts, including a 2018 proposal to merge Caesars with his Golden Nugget casinos and hospitality business. Some analysts have suggested that Fertitta’s offer may undervalue the company, indicating room for negotiation.
