| - This used to be one of my favorite places to stay at. Here are some quick tips though!
1. Parking here is really ample, there's a lot that leads to the back part of Caesar's Palace. Park on the 5th floor on the outdoor rooftop for easy elevator access without walking too far.
2. The check-in counter from the parking lot is a long ways away! Try to take the Appian Way to cut through most of the building and read them signs!
3. The $20 tip trick holds true here, try your best to score an upgrade to another resort room!
4. No resort fees! Though I think the price is just built into the hotel total price anyway.
5. The Bacchanal Buffet is tremendous! I wrote a review about it separately from this one about the Hotel itself.
I stayed here multiple times with different people. My family and I visited some time in 2005 and stayed in the nicer suites. It was really comfortable, the decor was awesome, and the jacuzzi tub was a plus. Fast forward a bit and in the last year or so my girlfriend and I wound up in Vegas for our first (of many!) trips to Vegas. I was excited to relive my experience in a suite that my family and I stayed in.
There are a few things that cause me to believe that whoever designed Caesars was a guy who wanted people to walk long distances for no reason. The property for Caesar's is humongous. I mean walking through the whole property would probably be a nice day's exercise. Everything is far apart.
What probably makes the least sense is the fact that the parking lot and the hotel lobby area are really far apart. The last thing that I wanted to do was to walk with all my luggage to the check in counter that was about ten minutes away. The other thing that bothered me was that the room elevators for each of the individual towers was also far, far away. It seemed like there was no central design in mind for Caesar's Palace.
Anyways, it's good to get exercise, but one of the bigger design flaws is the lack of signage that tells you where to go. It's hard for first time hotel guests who parked in the lot to find the lobby area by navigating the vast ways around the hotel floor. Besides the complex design, the whole casino feels like something that is semi-transformed from being part of old Vegas legend. It feels kind of like some of the games have seen their fair share of days.
The rooms within the casino though are pretty comfortable provided you do not get hooked up with the rooms near the parking lot. The day we came to Caesar's, we tipped $50 to get a "complementary" upgrade. As a side note, $50 is way over paying, usually a $20 will suffice! Anyways, the room we got upgraded to was comfortable, but I would say that there were many small issues with room cleanliness. Speaking of which, the service is mediocre and is typical, nothing to rave about, but pretty standard in Vegas.
The bottom line is that if everywhere else in the 5 star hotel category is sold out/expensive, I wouldn't mind staying here again for cheap. Otherwise, I would say that staying at this hotel is pretty skippable.
