Lisa Vanderpump marked a major milestone in her hospitality career, celebrating the grand opening of The Vanderpump Hotel in Las Vegas. The television personality and restaurateur called the project a “true labor of love” while accepting a Key to the Strip during a star-studded ceremony at her first hotel venture. The event brought together celebrities, Caesars Entertainment executives, VIP guests, and media to commemorate the debut of the boutique property.
Lisa Vanderpump Officially Launches Her Las Vegas Hotel
The grand opening transformed the casino floor into a glamorous celebration. Vanderpump arrived in a custom Rolls-Royce and made her way through the resort alongside bellmen before greeting guests gathered for the occasion. She wore a shimmering silver gown accented with purple and green details, drawing cheers from attendees and photographers.
During the ceremony, Clark County Commissioner Tick Segerblom and Caesars Entertainment executives presented Vanderpump with a Key to the Strip. The recognition highlighted her growing influence in Las Vegas hospitality and entertainment.
“The Vanderpump Hotel has been a true labor of love,” Vanderpump said. She described the property as a deeply personal project and referred to it as her own “jewel box” on the Las Vegas Strip. She also praised Caesars Entertainment for its collaboration throughout the development process.
The hotel features 188 guest rooms and suites. It marks Vanderpump’s first move into the hotel business after building a successful portfolio of restaurants, lounges, and hospitality concepts. The hospitality venture launched months after Vanderpump announced a new reality TV show dedicated to the hotel.
Inside The Vanderpump Hotel’s Signature Design
Designed by Vanderpump and creative partner Nick Alain through Vanderpump Alain, the property showcases the pair’s signature “industrial romantic” aesthetic. The design blends elegant details with dramatic finishes, creating a boutique experience unlike many larger Strip resorts.
Throughout the hotel, guests will find references to Vanderpump’s British heritage. A large mural depicts her walking through a London street scene. Meanwhile, a classic English taxicab installation welcomes visitors at the entrance. A gallery wall also features black-and-white photographs from her personal life, including family memories and images of beloved pets.
Another standout feature is Gigolo, a lounge named after Vanderpump’s late Pomeranian, Giggy. The venue offers signature cocktails and serves as one of the property’s newest attractions. Across the casino floor, chandeliers from the former resort have been redesigned with new crystals and custom shades, adding to the hotel’s distinctive look.
Celebrity Guests and a Spectacular Strip Celebration
The grand opening attracted several notable names from entertainment and reality television. Among the celebrity guests were Sharon Osbourne, Lance Bass, and Garcelle Beauvais. Cast members from “Vanderpump Rules” and “Vanderpump Villa” also attended the celebration.
Guests enjoyed cocktails and specialty dishes inspired by Vanderpump’s restaurant concepts. Additional culinary offerings came from GIADA, the acclaimed restaurant operated by celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis within the property.
The evening concluded with a drone show above the Las Vegas Strip. The display illuminated the skyline and capped off a night that marked a new chapter for Vanderpump’s hospitality empire. With the opening of The Vanderpump Hotel, the entrepreneur has expanded her growing Las Vegas footprint, which already includes Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, Vanderpump à Paris, and Pinky’s by Vanderpump.
