The Cromwell has launched a transformation process linked to its upcoming rebranding. As a result, its hotel will soon temporarily stop hosting guests, officials stated.
The Hotel Will Temporarily Stop Accepting Guests
The Cromwell, a property operated by Caesars Entertainment on the well-known Las Vegas Strip, will temporarily stop accepting guests because of its rebranding. As a result, visitors won’t be able to book rooms after March 22, though the property’s casino will stay open.
This rebranding process will also see the hotel transition from The Cromwell to The Vanderpump Hotel, reflecting a partnership with reality TV star Lisa Vanderpump. While this marks Vanderpump’s first entry into the hotel industry, it’s far from her first collaboration with Caesars—previous projects include Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace, Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas, and Pinky’s by Vanderpump at Flamingo.
While Caesars confirmed visitors won’t be able to stay at the hotel after March 22, it did not specify how long the refurbishment will take. An earlier announcement suggested the transition could last up to two months, but that timeline was set to begin in February and may no longer be valid. Caesars has not addressed the cause of the delay.
In the meantime, workers have already started some aspects of the transition, such as removing Cromwell branding throughout the venue.
In any event, guests looking to play don’t need to worry—The Cromwell’s casino will remain open during its shift to The Vanderpump Hotel. The property’s restaurant, Giada, will also stay open during the temporary hotel closure.
Tilman Fertitta Pursues Acquisition of Caesars
In other news, billionaire businessman Tilman Fertitta recently expressed interest in acquiring Caesars Entertainment in a $7 billion deal—equivalent to $34 per Caesars share. While nothing is finalized yet, the deal could mark a historic moment in American gaming history.
Acquiring Caesars would align with Fertitta’s past ambitions: in 2018, the billionaire sought to merge Caesars with his own casino and hospitality company, Golden Nugget.
Analysts later commented on the proposal, suggesting the $34-per-share offer might undervalue Caesars’ business.
