Vanderpump Hotel Las Vegas Review: Is the Former Cromwell Worth It?

The Vanderpump Hotel is the former Cromwell: a 188-room boutique hotel on the northeast corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road, reopened by Caesars Entertainment on May 22, 2026, with rooms, bars and public spaces redesigned by Lisa Vanderpump and her partner Nick Alain. The short answer from this Vanderpump Hotel Las Vegas review: it’s a smart pick for couples, friend groups and Vanderpump fans who want a small, stylish base at the Four Corners. It’s a poor one for families, anyone who wants a big room or a spa, and winter travelers counting on the rooftop pool.

How we checked: room counts, fees, parking, venue hours and policies come from the hotel’s official FAQ, Caesars’ October 2026 fact sheet and Caesars press releases, read on Nov. 4, 2026. Caesars doesn’t publish room sizes, so ours come from booking-partner listings and are marked as such. Our review method explains how we source and date every fact.

Is The Vanderpump Hotel worth it compared with its neighbors?

You’re paying for intimacy at the Strip’s busiest intersection. Every neighbor is more than 10 times bigger, which usually buys more pools, lower fees or bigger rooms, along with longer walks and longer lines.

Hotel	Rooms	Standard room	Pool	Resort fee (+ tax)
The Vanderpump Hotel	188, incl. 21 suites	About 360 sq ft (partner listings)	Soleia rooftop, 21+ only	$54.95
Horseshoe	2,052	About 450 sq ft	Blu Pool, Friday–Sunday in season	$49.95
Flamingo	3,500+	About 350 sq ft	All-ages Family Pool, 21+ GO Pool	$49.95
Paris	3,672	390–445 sq ft	Pool à Paris rooftop, all ages	$54.95
Bellagio	3,933	510 sq ft	Five courtyard pools, 18+ Cypress Pool	$55

Vanderpump’s fee was checked in November 2026, the neighbors’ in October 2026.

The decision rule: pick The Vanderpump Hotel when the hotel itself is part of the trip, from a design-led room to a cocktail at Gigolo, dinner at GIADA and a rooftop afternoon without crossing a megaresort. Pick Horseshoe for about 90 more square feet, a monorail station and a $5-lower fee, Flamingo for the budget or the kids, and Bellagio for fountain views and a full resort. Prices vary according to travel dates and availability; Caesars’ FAQ says Sunday-to-Thursday rates here generally run lower.

Location at the Four Corners

The hotel sits at 3595 Las Vegas Blvd South, on the corner of Flamingo Road, directly across the Boulevard from Caesars Palace. Flamingo is next door, and pedestrian bridges at the intersection connect you with Caesars Palace and with Horseshoe across Flamingo Road; Bellagio, on the diagonal corner, takes two crossings. Paris is a short walk south past Horseshoe, and The LINQ and Harrah’s are a short walk north. Our guide to center Strip hotels maps the whole stretch.

There’s no monorail station on site. The hotel’s FAQ points you through Flamingo to the Flamingo/Caesars Palace station on its east side, about 5 to 7 minutes from the main entrance. Harry Reid International Airport is about 4 miles away, usually a 10- to 15-minute drive.

Drivers enter the garage from the back of the property, off East Flamingo Road; Caesars tells you to set your GPS to 216 E. Flamingo Road. Race week is the exception to the easy access: the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix runs Nov. 19–21, 2026, on a circuit that uses Las Vegas Boulevard past the Four Corners, so expect closures and crowds on those dates.

Rooms and suites

All 188 rooms, including 21 suites, are in one tower. The look is what Vanderpump calls “industrial romantic”: moss-green walls, dusty lilac accents, velvet headboards, mirrored furniture and mixed gold and silver metals. Every room gets a Snooz white-noise machine and blackout drapes. The FAQ is candid that street noise from the corner can still reach lower floors, and suggests requesting a higher floor at booking.

Room type	Beds	Size (partner listings)	Good to know
Vanderpump Room	1 king or 2 queens	About 360 sq ft	Strip-view versions are sold as their own category
Suite Connector	Two adjoining rooms	Not published	Caesars pitches it for groups and families
Parlour / Mischief Suite	1 king	About 723 sq ft	Separate living area
Scandal Suite	1 king, Strip view	About 1,061 sq ft	One of the larger suites
Gallivant Suite	1 king	About 1,408 sq ft	Largest category in partner listings

Caesars’ FAQ also names Deluxe and Luxury Room categories, and it publishes no square footage, so treat these sizes as approximate. Either way, standard rooms are compact: about the size of Flamingo’s and well short of Horseshoe’s 450 or Bellagio’s 510 square feet. If you’ll spend real time in the room, a Strip-view category or a suite is where the design pays off.

Check-in is at 4 p.m. and checkout at 11 a.m.; late checkout to 4 p.m. is subject to availability, and past 4 p.m. you pay the full day rate. Mobile check-in in the Caesars Rewards app works for direct bookings, or for third-party bookings that carry your Caesars Rewards number; otherwise you’ll use the front desk or a kiosk on the casino level.

Soleia Beach: the rooftop pool and its season

The rooftop that held Drai’s Beachclub for more than a decade is now Soleia Beach, 11 stories above the Strip in a 65,000-square-foot pool and event space. Caesars’ October 2026 fact sheet lists two main pools, six private pool areas, 24 bungalows and cabanas, two full-service bars and a kitchen, open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Caesars bills it as a relaxed rooftop pool, not a dayclub, with ambient, open-format sets rather than DJ-led parties.

The rules matter more than the size:

• 21 and over only, with ID, and no minors at any time, even with a parent.
• Hotel guests get in with a room key, since pool access is part of the resort fee.
• Non-guests need a cabana, bungalow or daybed reservation.
• Shade is limited, so bring a hat and sunscreen, and wear a cover-up through the hotel.

The catch is the calendar. Neither the FAQ nor the fact sheet mentions a winter closure, but Soleia is an open-air rooftop, and third-party pool calendars list a May-to-October season. If a pool day is the reason you’re booking between November and March, confirm with the hotel first. The resort fee still applies on nights the pool is closed.

Restaurants and bars

GIADA is the one full restaurant. Giada De Laurentiis’ first restaurant sits on the second floor with retractable windows over the intersection, seats nearly 300 guests and has three private dining rooms. Caesars’ fact sheet lists brunch daily from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. and dinner from 4:30 to 9:45 p.m., though the FAQ mentions brunch only on weekends, so check before planning a weekday brunch. It’s the hotel’s only all-ages venue, and a $25-per-person no-show fee may apply if you don’t cancel 24 hours ahead.

Gigolo is Lisa Vanderpump’s 50-seat cocktail lounge, in the former Bound bar next to check-in and across from the sportsbook. It’s named for her late Pomeranian, Giggy, whose 62-inch statue anchors the room, and it opens at noon Monday through Thursday and 10 a.m. Friday through Sunday, closing at 2 a.m.

The Bar at The Vanderpump Hotel, in the middle of the casino, is open 24 hours with live entertainment nightly, and Starbucks is on the casino level. Beyond Starbucks and GIADA’s brunch, breakfast means a walk: the hotel’s FAQ points early risers to cafés at Paris and Harrah’s. In-room dining comes from GIADA through Caesars Eats.

Fans can complete the set nearby: Pinky’s by Vanderpump is next door at Flamingo, Vanderpump Cocktail Garden is at Caesars Palace and Vanderpump à Paris is at Paris.

Casino, sportsbook and Drai’s After Hours

The 40,000-square-foot casino is small by Strip standards: Caesars’ fact sheet lists 373 slot machines and 26 table games (the FAQ gives higher counts), plus a high-limit slot lounge with 31 machines. There’s no poker room; the nearest are Horseshoe’s 18-table World Series of Poker Hall of Fame room and the room at Caesars Palace. Smoking is allowed in designated casino areas, and guests under 21 may walk through the casino but not linger.

The Caesars Sportsbook is a lounge for about 50 people with an HD video wall. Its ticket windows are staffed only Saturday and Sunday, 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.; self-service kiosks run daily from 7 a.m. to midnight.

Downstairs, Drai’s After Hours is back in the basement where it started in the late 1990s, running Thursday through Sunday from 1 to 6 a.m. with two rooms of EDM and hip-hop. It’s 21+ with business-casual dress.

Amenities

• No spa. The FAQ sends you to Qua Baths & Spa at Caesars Palace or Voie Spa & Salon at Paris.
• Fitness center: open 24 hours for registered guests; the resort fee covers two passes per room per day.
• Curios: a Vanderpump merchandise and essentials shop, open from 10 a.m. daily.
• Dogs welcome: Caesars PetStay allows up to two dogs with a combined weight of 50 pounds in designated rooms booked in advance, for a nightly fee plus a pet hold. The relief area is between the Vanderpump and Flamingo garages.
• Luggage storage: free at the bell desk before check-in and after checkout.
• Accessibility: select accessible rooms have roll-in showers, and elevators serve every guest floor and the rooftop.

Resort fee and parking

Charge	Cost (as of November 2026)
Resort fee	$54.95 + tax per night (about $62.30)
Self-parking, hotel guests	$20 per vehicle per day, charged to the room, with in-and-out privileges
Self-parking, visitors	$20 a day Monday–Wednesday, $25 Thursday–Sunday
Valet	$40 a day, only from Thursday 3 p.m. to Monday 3 p.m.
Cancellation (standard rates)	At least 48 hours before arrival

The resort fee covers Wi-Fi for two devices, two daily fitness center passes, local calls and Soleia access. Clark County’s 13.38% room tax applies to it, which turns $54.95 into about $62.30 a night. Caesars Rewards Diamond and Seven Stars members don’t pay it, and Platinum members and above park free in both self-parking and valet. Our guide to Las Vegas resort fees shows what every Strip hotel charges.

Parking quirks: valet shuts down from Monday afternoon to Thursday afternoon, and oversized vehicles aren’t allowed (the FAQ lists a $150 daily fine). Nevada residents get three free hours of self-parking with a Nevada ID, except during events and holidays, and your room key opens other Caesars self-park garages. Compare the rest of the Strip in our Las Vegas parking fees guide, and see the official FAQ for current rates.

Caesars agreed on May 28, 2026, to be acquired by Fertitta Entertainment; the deal hadn’t closed by early November, so Caesars Rewards benefits are unchanged for now.

Who should stay here

• Couples who want a design-forward room and a Strip-view dinner; see our romantic Las Vegas hotels.
• Bachelorette and birthday groups: Suite Connector rooms, Soleia cabanas, GIADA group dining for 14 or more and Drai’s downstairs. Compare our bachelor and bachelorette party hotels.
• Vanderpump fans, with four of her venues on this block or within walking distance.
• Caesars Rewards members, especially Diamond and above, who skip the resort fee.

Who should choose another hotel

• Families with children. Caesars says the hotel isn’t recommended for kids, and Soleia, Gigolo and Drai’s are 21+. Flamingo, next door, is the easy swap; see our family-friendly Las Vegas hotels.
• Groups under 21. The person checking in must be 21; our Las Vegas hotel check-in age guide lists the rules elsewhere.
• Winter pool seekers, until Soleia’s off-season schedule is confirmed.
• Spa-goers and poker players, who’ll be walking to Caesars Palace, Paris or Horseshoe anyway.
• Anyone who wants room to spread out, since standard rooms are around 360 square feet.

Horseshoe is the value play across Flamingo Road, with bigger rooms, a monorail station and the poker room.

Is The Vanderpump Hotel worth it?

Yes, if you’ll use what makes it different. It works best for two to four adults who want a compact, beautifully dressed room at the Four Corners, dinner at GIADA, drinks at Gigolo and a warm-weather afternoon on the roof. The value fades if you need space, a spa, a winter pool or anything for kids, because the same block offers bigger rooms and lower fees.

FAQ

Is The Vanderpump Hotel adults only?

Not strictly, but it’s built for adults. The primary guest must be 21 to check in, and Soleia, Gigolo, Drai’s After Hours and every bar are 21+. Minors may stay in the rooms and eat at GIADA, the only all-ages venue, and they can walk through the casino without stopping. Caesars says the hotel isn’t recommended for families with children.

What was The Vanderpump Hotel before?

It was The Cromwell. The building opened in 1979 as the Barbary Coast, became Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall and Saloon in 2007 and The Cromwell in 2014. Caesars took the rooms offline in early 2026 for the conversion while the casino stayed open, reopened the hotel as The Vanderpump Hotel on May 22, 2026, and held the grand opening on June 11.

How much is the resort fee at The Vanderpump Hotel?

$54.95 plus tax per night (as of November 2026), or about $62.30 with Clark County’s 13.38% room tax. It covers Wi-Fi for two devices, two daily fitness center passes, local calls and access to the Soleia rooftop pool. Caesars Rewards Diamond and Seven Stars members don’t pay it.

Does The Vanderpump Hotel have a pool?

Yes. Soleia Beach, on the rooftop 11 stories up, has two main pools, six private pool areas and 24 bungalows and cabanas, and Caesars lists it as open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. It’s strictly 21+, hotel guests enter with a room key, and non-guests need a reservation. Third-party calendars describe a May-to-October season, so confirm before a winter trip.

Is parking free at The Vanderpump Hotel?

No, unless you hold Caesars Rewards Platinum status or higher. Hotel guests pay $20 per vehicle per day, charged to the room, and visitors pay $20 Monday to Wednesday or $25 Thursday to Sunday. Valet costs $40 a day and runs only from Thursday at 3 p.m. to Monday at 3 p.m. (as of November 2026).

Does The Vanderpump Hotel have a spa?

No. There’s a 24-hour fitness center for registered guests, with two daily passes included in the resort fee, but no spa on site. The hotel’s FAQ points guests to Qua Baths & Spa at Caesars Palace, across Las Vegas Boulevard, and Voie Spa & Salon at Paris, a short walk south.
