H O T E L H A P P E N I N G S CAESARS PALACE LAS VEGAS UNVEILS NEWLY RENOVATED COLOSSEUM TOWER WITH RESERVATIONS NOW AVAILABLE The Transformation of the Former Forum Tower Features More Than 400 Redesigned Guest Rooms With Classically Inspired Décor Caesars Palace Las Vegas honors its Roman roots with the debut of the renovated Colosseum Tower. Formerly known as the Forum Tower, the redesigned tower offers 440 guest rooms and suites with classically inspired yet modern décor. Reservations are now available on caesarspalace.com. Designed by Michael Medeiros of RDH Interests, Inc., the enhanced accommodations feature interiors with high con- trasts of black and white. Color accents include pops of emerald inspired by the jewelry worn by the late Cleopatra, along with splashes of Roman red throughout the custom artwork and fur- niture. "Caesars Palace is known for its spectacular designs and unique offerings that make every visit to Las Vegas unforget- table," said Terrence O'Donnell, SVP and General Manager of Caesars Palace. "We are excited to welcome visitors to the Colosseum Tower, where they can experience a new level of comfort and luxury fit for a Caesar while enjoying our incredi- ble dining, entertainment and gaming options throughout the resort." The main focal point of the room is the upholstered head- board panel with inset mirrors that add a luxurious element to the space. Across the room, the dresser unit features a premium glass-front mini bar, a round table that doubles as a desk and a klismos-inspired dining chair. Guests can also relax on the Roman-style chaise lounge in the standard king room. The renovated bathroom boasts linear veined Marmara Striato marble floors imported from Europe and white quartz vanity tops and accent bands in the glass-enclosed shower. In the separate water closet, the wall covering features hand- sketched drawings of various Greek and Roman classical orders of architectural columns. Adding rich contrast to the white walls and striated marble, the sink vanity consists of dark wood furnishings. Select rooms offer views of the Las Vegas Strip. Suites start at 800 square feet, and larger room layouts include a living room with a couch, coffee table, chair and a dining or pool table. Suite guests can also enjoy a soaking tub in the primary bathroom. The Colosseum Tower is adjacent to Dominique Ansel Las Vegas and across from The Colosseum at Caesars Palace.
