Never again. We stayed there in April. Booked a king room in the Forum. They kindly upgraded us to a suite (2,000+sf). Two levels, incredible view, two master suites. Definitely needed remodeling. Shower leaked constantly. The freakiest thing is the SAME guy came into our suite twice! Didn’t go to the suite that was dark and unused but to the one we were using. The hubs was in the shower. I asked the guy what he was doing. He hesitated a bit and said they gave him the room. The dude had shorts, white tank, and a small duffel bag. I yelled for the hubs and the guy took off. Called the front desk and they said that our suite was registered in my name and there is no way it would have been reassigned. It was freaky. We could not wait to check out. And will never go back. Love your vids Ruby! We watched all of them before coming to Vegas! And still watch them. Thank you for all the helpful info!!

I stayed in 3 different rooms/suites in about a year. The suites were nice but with awful views. The one king room had a great view and the room was ok. There was one time I was there and the there was a bad smell. I agree the property is huge and so much fun. I do not think the dining is as good as the Venetian/Palazzo (Delmonico is probably one of my favorite restaurants on Earth). I went to Hell's Kitchen because of the people I was there with, and I did not understand the huge appeal. Mr. Chow was amazing. Sushi Roku is also nice if you get the strip view.

I agree with your comments 💯 We used to stay exclusively at CET properties and were almost always happy. It seems like most of their hotels have gone downhill since the pandemic. The two times we stayed at Caesars, we were in the Augustus Laurel Collection rooms and there were many issues with the light dimmer switches covered in grime and the exterior shell of the bathtub caved in along with a lot of visible general wear and tear (as you documented). I gave up and switched entirely to MLife properties as the value just isn’t there anymore.

Caesar's choice to charge extra for the pool after already charging resort fees is a good example of what is taking place nowadays across the country: the creation of a class system to glorify those who want to be seen as super rich. The result is that the rest of us who thought we already paid good money feel like peasants in an overcrowded pool. Not a good business model, imho.

I'm a passholder/member at a few theme park chains and a certain amount of skip-the-line pass are included in the membership for each visit. I suppose you'd be one of those who'd whine because those people have memberships and you and your family didn't. Btw, I'm not rich by any means, but I also know Disney parks are EXPENSIVE! You're whining about the expense of a flash pass comparing it to a class issue. How about the average person can't afford a Disneyland vacation for there family in the first place? Disneyland is priced for the wealthy or those who saved for years to be able to go. You're trippin on class over a flash pass but Disney theme parks have always been about attracting a certain class of people by charging expensive admission prices. Give me a break.

I feel like since the pandemic, many places have become lazier and greedier - from hotels to restaurants. It's not acceptable. I thought you were very diplomatic towards Caeser's Ruby. Not being permitted to use the main pool as a paying guest is appalling and that, in itself, would deter me from staying there.

I went to the Grand Opening of the Venetian and instantly knew that hotel would be my new home in Las Vegas. One of the things I loved about Caesars in its early years was Cafe Roma. Before that, the Noshorium. The food was incredible and both restaurants were open 24/7. Now there is no 24/7 restaurant at Caesars. Imagine, a resort that is known globally with no place to go eat a meal after a night of gambling. Caesars thinks they are saving money? They have run-off the clientele who made them famous. I love the Grand Lux Cafes in both the Venetian and the Palazzo. Whatever you order will be as good as it was served when they opened in 2000.

Wow! I just checked out of my room at Caesar's yesterday and your review is spot on. I also stayed in the Octavius tower and wondered where that horrendous smell was coming from. There were other parts of the property that didn't smell too good either. While I loved my room, the wear and tear was obvious and it sucked not having a fridge.

Wow- before this video I always thought Caesar’s Palace was one of the highest, most upscale of the Vegas casinos. For the prices you pay there’s no reason for the rooms to be in such disrepair, a sewage smell in the hallway, or not to be able to use all the pools. What a rip off.

Caesars properties in Vegas, and everywhere, have gone down shockingly fast in the past 2 - 3 years. I usually stay at Paris, another Caesars owned property. Each time we've been there since 2019 and it has declined more and more, from the condition of the casino, the rooms, and the (almost nonexistent) service. The problem is, the Eldorado people that took over the Caesars brand don't give a sh*t whatsoever. I see a big fire sale coming in Caesars future. Sad. The properties used to be so nice.

Spot on, Ruby! We met you down in the Starbucks and you were SO gracious, friendly, and accommodating! Very refreshing to be fan of yours and to find you are even more lovely and personable in person! Thank you for being so kind and chatting for a bit. Our room was beat as well; what's up with the shredded headboards?! They need to spend some $$ and update the rooms. Caesars is ridiculous with their pools. Best pool complex in Vegas, so many pools, but only 1 where you don't have to reserve or pay for seating. And don't even bother doing the night swim! The water was filthy and disgusting; we were so creeped out we left soon after arriving. Thank Goodness they opened the pool door that is close to the Octavius Tower; last year they made you hike ALL the way over to the door by the Palace Tower to get into the pools. I've been to Vegas many times on business and stayed at a number of hotels on the strip, and Caesars is my least favorite. It's too spread out so the walking is daunting, the rooms are beat, and everything is super expensive there. Also they are known for having tight slots. So glad you did an honest review; they can't keep resting on their old laurels. Why did they spend money renovating the lobby? Who cares?! Fix up the darn rooms, Caesars!

Your review was spot on, and you weren't being nitpicky about the upkeep of the room. I stayed at Ceasars in June with a large group of colleagues who were in Vegas for a conference, also held at Ceasars. We arrived early and were informed about the early check-in fee, but each person was quoted a different amount ($35, $45, $60), depending on which reception clerk they spoke to. (Paying the fee didn't result in any upgrades.) That made the early check-in fee feel like a scam. A few in our group checked in early; the rest waited until after 4:00 p.m. When trying to complete check-in after 4:00 p.m, the express kiosks malfunctioned, and the available clerk became snippy when asked basic questions. So the overall "welcome" to the hotel wasn't smooth or hospitable. I stayed in the Forum Tower. The room had a lot of scuffs, scratches, and signs of wear and tear --- not what you would expect from a luxury hotel. I would choose to stay somewhere else if I were planning my own trip to Vegas.

Ruby you brighten my and my wife's day! We used to travel to Las Vegas about every other month but we had to stop because of age and illness / disability. We look forward to seeing your videos, thank you for all that you do.

Caesar's Properties in general have been in steady and constant decline for the past 8-10 years. They used to be the "standard" by which all others were compared, but no longer. They've been living off their reputation too long and other properties have flat out been better in nearly every way. Their pools are awesome but not if you can't enjoy them.

We were in Caesar's in June. Never going back. We booked the Julius suite and got the Octavius room instead. The mini bar meant we had no room for our own food or drinks. The loooong walk to the elevators stunk of garbage and restaurant food. Our room was exactly like hers including the worn our furniture and rugs. The food was expensive (e.g. $25 for a plate of waffles at the Americana Cafe). Giada's little bakery Pronto had overpriced everything. We went across the street to the LINQ for breakfasts as it was half the price of anywhere in Caesars.

Thanks for another honest review. I’m so glad that you tell it like it is. We visited many places in Vegas that you recommended and didn’t recommend , and You were right on the money! You made our trip really enjoyable!

It’s not just Cesar’s. Other hotels are starting to charge for certain areas of the pool like MGM. There’s a middle island that the lazy river goes around that costs extra to sit there. Also discovered some restaurants are adding gratuity to the bills disguised as a fee to the bill. All these fees are getting out of hand.

It was great meeting you and Mr. Ruby, hope to see you guys in Vegas again one day!

I've been going to Vegas for a long time, and Caesars used to be a premier property. It's unfortunate to hear the rooms needed better upkeep as well as the pool situation is not acceptable either. Plenty of other luxury properties that you get more for your money, I 100% agree. Thanks for the review!

Thanks again Ruby! I appreciate your honest, straightforward reviews. Your advice saved me $$$ on our last trip, and I'll keep soaking up your info and tips for the future!

thanks for telling us all ruby! caesar's went through a massive bankruptcy in 2017 so i'm not surprised that the rooms are shabby.

El Dorado company now owns Caesars. That's all you need to know. A once great property now owned by a "slum landlord", in our opinion. That's why in our opinion you are already seeing the rooms not being properly maintained.

Caesars properties in general have gone downhill with the latest ownership group. I still like the rooms at Planet Hollywood, the Miracle Miles shops and the casino at Paris, and that’s it. Cleanliness at Caesars in general is terrible, overflowing ashtrays at slot machines, sewer smells, low staffing/poor customer service, all very disappointing. I’m not saying MGM Resorts is perfect, but every time I’m at Bellagio or Park MGM, the rooms and casinos are clean and the workers I encounter are very nice.

Yep, spot on! I stayed there for the first time at the end of October. It started out bad- a two hour wait to get a room (including the 30 plus minutes I stood in line to use their digital check in.) The room was a total letdown. Every bit of wood furniture was noticeably dinged up, the lampshade looked like someone had taken it off and thrown it at some point. And… carpet stains. Ick. We also went to Gordon Ramsays pub and had an all-round terrible experience. I’m still shocked because I had gone a couple months earlier and had a GREAT experience. The casino is massive, which is pretty nice but the floor is pretty confusing to navigate. I won’t stay there again, even in a comped room. The only Caesar’s property I like STAYING in is Paris.

I gotta tell you Ruby et al., that your posts about Las Vegas are by far the most informative. A lot of these places I have stayed or visited and had a meal, on par with my experiences as of late.

I just came home today from Caesars Palace and stayed in this same room (6179 Octavius). I was "Upgraded" to this and was told this was the best I could get without paying $150+ a night. (Surprising because I am Diamond Elite and on Track for 7S) We had the exact same issues. The smell in the hall was horrendous and the room was outdated and beat up. Our main door had a huge crack in it and was falling apart, our sinks and showers took hours to drain, (We were standing in 2-3 inches of water while showering) Stains on the couch, rug and tile (Huge spill stain on Tile), lights and Window Sill were dusty. Although the bath is nice, it took close to an hour to fill up due to poor water pressure. Overall the best thing about the room was the Square Footage and View, but really disappointed as this was my first stay here and I have been wanting to stay here for years. Really makes me consider MGM, Wynn, Venetian for future Vegas Trips.

I stayed at Caesar's palace approx 10 years ago so I could be closer to the wedding that was held at the Bellagio. Caesars was already run down back then. Ruby pointed out about the scuffed headboard, sofa, kickboard, and scratched doors and all..yup all that... Wow, I'm surprised they have not done anything to it still....Yeah, I will never stay there again, especially with $299 a night...That's crazy...ugh. Yeah, it was my 1st stay there too..very disappointed....never, ever going to stay again.

Thank you again Ruby, for being totally honest in your review of highly overrated Caesars Palace. I walked out of Caesars four years ago, vowing to never return. Throwing money away for second class surroundings is unacceptable. You nailed it about the outrageous $10 pizza slice. Try going into a Caesars gift shop and have them ring up a small bottle of Gatorade for $6.95. That costs 70 cents in a store. I walked out and left it on the counter. There is an executive chef restaurant that sells the 'soup of the day' for $80 a bowl. They wait for the next table of suckers to walk in. I had been a regular customer since 1971. I was known by employees all over the hotel who are all class acts. I say enough of the pretense. One of the final straws was a pit boss who closed a roulette table after changing dealers on me every 10 minutes to stop my winning streak. That is when I handed the pit boss my players card and told him I would never return. I haven't.

I don't understand sweating a game like roulette. I understand that they need to be vigilant against cheating but let me feel good about beating the odds and winning. Las Vegas was built by the losers but the stories of winners keep the crowds coming back - Las Vegas needs players to win too!

You really do a good job communicating the good and the bad of the properties you go to. I agree with how you summed it up at the end.

Don’t apologize for doing a truthful review. I really enjoy your reviews. Keep them coming and don’t pull any punches.

I hear you on the pool. I stayed at Mandalay Bay one time and the pools closed very early for a special event so I couldn’t swim there when I needed to. I argued with them very hard and had my resort fee refund that day. Thanks for the great video, you have saved lots of us a disappointment by going there. I recently splurged and stayed at the Palazzo and it was fabulous, The room , the stay , the customer service , everything was perfect, my best stay ever in Vegas.I would consider that over Caesars.

Last time I was in Vegas we just walked through the Palazzo and I decided next time we go I want to stay there. This is my sign to do it🙂

I have been a Caesars Rewards Diamond member for many years, and am very loyal to them, since they comp me very well, but I was never a fan of Caesars Palace. It's a beautiful property, with a beautiful pool complex and the Forum Shops are very cool, but the property is just way too big. Depending on which Tower you stay in, your walk to your room from the Strip could take 20 minutes. Who needs that, especially in the hot months in Vegas? I prefer the smaller, cozier hotels that Caesars offers in Vegas, like Planet Hollywood, Paris, Cromwell, Flamingo or Harrah's. Just much easier to get around, you are on the Strip very quickly, and plenty of less expensive food options as well. Caesars Palace is lacking the cheaper food choices. That's just my opinion. I enjoy walking around there , just when I'm visiting the different casinos, and exploring the Strip, but to actually stay there for a week? Not convenient, and not practical at all

Great review! You're very personable and your videos are professional. Hubby and I stayed in the Augustus tower in June and I was really disappointed that they charge $75 US to use the mini fridge. I used the ice bucket instead. Your review of the pools was spot on too. I loved how the Forum shops were attached to the resort so I didn't have to walk outside. We were there to see Sting and what an amazing time! Will be checking out your other videos to see what you recommend for a luxury hotel.

Thank you for your candid review. Love your videos. Great job.

Glad it's not just me! Was super disappointed in our stay, it took an hour to check in and almost the same on check out. Our room was nice however there was no housekeeping unless you called for it, which we did and yet our room still wasn't cleaned. There were dirty dishes left in the hallways and a disgusting dirty qtip which was left in the hallway for over 24 hours! We'd just stayed at the Cosmo which was absolutely faultless which I think made this experience so much worse. I won't stay again.

No fridge, $9 muffin, $10 pizza slice...HARD NO! I always suspected Caesars was in the "ripping you off" business a bit TOO much, even for a casino group, but your video definitely confirms it. Thanks Ruby!

You’re awesome!!! Please continue what you’re doing you’re making the world better 💪🏾🙏🏾😇

Love your 1st outfit!! I'm glad you got both pairs of sunglasses, they both look great! I love Caesar's, have stayed there many times. Looking forward to seeing the new renos. Another great video. Thank you

Agree 100%. Stayed at CP in June of this year, same tower. It smelled like butt walking to the tower. The room was marked up as you described. Our room had dirty clothes behind the toilet door. I thought the decor was antiquated. There were no charging stations in the lamps and the lamps did not work. The complex is very confusing and easy to get lost. Food prices were very high, IMO. The only thing good about our stay was Sting, he was phenomenal! I will not stay there again, had a better room at the Venetian years ago.

We stayed in this exact type of room for our honeymoon in December and I was so disappointed. I dont know if you turned on the bathtub but as soon as we did the tub filled with black sediment. Our headboard was scratched to hell and drawers had knobs missing. They wouldnt upgrade us after we complained and offered us a $50 Food and Beverage credit instead. We will never stay at Caesers again

At the Mirage last week, put in $20 in the large Buffalo Gold slot and played the 225 button. After I lost $10 of my $20 bill, I won a jackpot of $510. Wow! My sisters and I were so excited!! I cashed out, so my remaining $10 and the $510 jackpot, gave me $520 in my pocket! That was exciting! Didn't do any gambling at Caesar's when we went to the Bacchanal Buffet, but we did love the variety of slots there!

Definitely agree its gone downhill. Stayed there a few months ago, room was in poor shape and could hear everything from next door. Wi-Fi was garbage, and they refused to refund resort fees until I argued with a manager and threatened to file a chargeback. The only redeeming feature would be the main pool, but it looks like even thats closed off now. Absolutely no reason to stay there anymore, with Aria, Cosmo, Venetian/Palazzo, and sometimes even Wynn/Encore providing comparable rates.

Ruby. I think you and your husband are such a great job reviewing in describing Las Vegas. I love following along

I have stayed at Caesars before and was completely underwhelmed. Our room was so far from the casino I had to rent a scooter to get around. The room was one of the worst I had experienced on the strip. While it was complimentary I think I would have rather paid for a room elsewhere. The casino was dirty and not fun. I used to stay at Venetian and Palazzo, much more luxurious and their casinos are way better. Even Paris is way better.

We stayed there last year and loved it. Stayed again in January and absolutely hated it. The room was dirty, charged us $60 to check in at 1. Told them we would wait and she insisted it wouldn't cost anything. Got home to find the $60. Called 3 times and they said a manager would call us back and they never did. Drinks are nearly impossible to get.

That was very good commentary. Don't feel bad about telling the truth. I've already been to Vegas for this year but I'll be more aware of a property's strengths and weaknesses before I decide on lodging next year. I don't think you know how much it helps. I'm glad I found this channel. Thanks.

It made me thoroughly excited! Nice overview of Ceasar’s.

Excellent review Ruby, the reality on the ground info about the pools is vital to vacationers when shopping around for hotels, the pool experience often makes or breaks the vacation. Yes, what Caesar's is doing is sleezy, puts a bad taste in everyone's mouth. This tactic only adds to the negative perception that Vegas resorts are more about swindling tourists than offering a good time.

I stayed at Caesar's on my first Vegas trip in 2001, I am very disappointed to hear their standards have fallen.

Hello Ruby!!! I love your videos!!! You're so enthusiastic and filled with energy!!! Thank you so much for all of the information!!! I have stayed in Vegas at Circus Circus and Harrah's. But it was years ago!!!

Thanks for this video lots of good info also I loved your intro it got me hooked thanks for the vid:)

I had the same opinion about the Venetian when I stayed there not that long ago. The bathroom was amazing, the bed was really nice, but everything in the living room area felt warn out, particularly the couch. Because of the time of the year and the fact that we went during the week, the room was a little less than $200 after all of the taxes and fees, and we did not stay in the room that much, so we didn't mind the shabby sofa, but it would have been nice to have furniture that was placed in the room a little more recently than a decade ago.

Just went to Vegas for the first time since the pandemic and will never go to Vegas again. The homeless situation is horrific. I felt very unsafe even during the day. Lots of homeless with mental illness as well and begging, picking garbage and passed out on the stairs of the CVS just horrible. We stayed at Planet Hollywood for 4 days and had our room cleaned only once and had to pay the $50 resort fee per day. Homeless also wander in the casinos and looking for money left in machines and wander around until they kicked out but not enough security anyway to keep under control. Bye Vegas it was nice knowing you 😢

As a child my family went to Las Vegas a lot in the early 70’s. I remember it as very clean and very safe at all time of the day or night. The folks would drop us kids off at the movies for a double feature while they gambled. No worries about hobos, bums, drug addicts or pedos. Times sure have changed.

I have stayed at several hotels on the strip, but never at Caesars. After watching this video, I don't think I'll be a hotel guest there anytime soon. Thanks for the video! 👍 Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭😀

Thanks for this honest review. It really helps with my planning. Sorry you had that experience. I cannot believe that big pool was off limits 😡 I enjoy your vlogs

I feel like ceasars properties have been going down hill since the merger a few years ago. They charge more for everything and in my experience comps have gotten a lot worse.

OMG I stayed at Caesars in June and had a similar experience!! I stayed in the same tower, identical room to yours... the giant floor lamp in the room was broken! As in... the whole top of it fell off! I had to call maintenance first thing I did when checking in. Room was in similar condition. You also didn't mention that Caesars charges a $100 per night incidentals charge! More than any other Caesars resort. Everything there costs more, and a lot of these are recent changes! I'm a video poker player, and this year they raised the minimums on all their machines to dollar denomination. You can't find a 25 or 50 cent denom poker machine... IF YOU CAN FIND VIDEO POKER AT ALL. I hated my casino experience there. (I also had a bad experience at that Gordon Ramsay Pub. They overcooked my prime rib. I don't go to any of his restaurants anymore.) I will say... as a Diamond member, I called and they brought a mini fridge to the room for free. They said it was free because I was Diamond. (Of course *most* hotels will deliver a free mini fridge if you say you have medication that needs refrigeration.) I will say the customer service at Caesars was excellent all around... but the rooms and the all around experience (and all that WALKING just to find your room) are not worth the excessive cost.

We love your videos AND your personal style!!

My trip earlier this year I did 2 nights at Mirage then 2 nights at Caesar's my first time staying at both properties. Loved Mirage. Caesar's was fine. I paid for late check out at Mirage so I was packing up to head off to Caesar's when I received an Email from them asking my ETA I said 3pm and at 2:45 I got another one that said my room was ready. So I checked in at 3pm instead of 4pm. Well, they ended up charging me early check in which I never asked for and I didn't even notice until I was at the Airport.

Hey Ruby …totally agree …if I pay over $200 a night I don’t want stains and scrapes etc . The pool thing was outrageous . Yes they can have a separate pool for cabanas or daybeds but not the main pool. That being said I do like the property although I’m a Bellagio fan all the way and usually stay there. As for Gordon Ramsay not a fan of any of his restaurants. I hated the Pub. Service was rushed and rude, my food was cold and greasy . Never eat there again . Did not like Hells Kitchen either .

Hey Travel Ruby- I just wanted to say how much I enjoy these videos. I have been to Las Vegas a few times but don't feel like I know the area super well. Now I have a better idea of each of the different hotels and can move forward with future plans. Great job and look forward to seeing more of your videos. Do you do travel videos on other areas outside of Las Vegas?

Very helpful! Thank you.

I always go to your vlogs/reviews for all things Vegas. Been to Caesars something like 5 times in past 18 months or so. I think you're spot on with the review. Where I would differ just a bit: First timers. Knowing that the room price point is "silly"...it's all about what CP will offer a first timer. The pool deal. We went in March and we were able to get spots by a pool area that wasn't an ice bucket. Yes, that main pool with the tower thingy is COLD. It sits in shade too much and the water is circulated through all the fountain sprays. So why do I disagree with you? Because if you want a "one-stop" location for strip location, sports, tables, slots, pools, food, shops (the greatest experience of high end shops), it's a great location for first timers that would get overwhelmed walking the strip trying to find those things elsewhere. Me? Been there and done it too many times. So I wonder if your experience is what mine is now? Ho-Hum, been there, and there's better value elsewhere. Yes Caesars is not a value proposition. But if you want to hit the best nightclub in Vegas and never have to leave the property to hit great pools, and all the other stuff...it's a one of a kind. Lastly, Paris is my choice for a great spot if you just want to be close to things, and you don't need massive pool options, and nightclubbing is now called grab a drink at 11pm and hit the bed. Stay and Play at Paris a few times, and then CP will make you offers to stay there at much better rates.

Of all the times I've been in Vegas never once have I stated Caesar's Palace. Beautiful but very overpriced. That pocharge was absolutely ridiculous, $300 for a daybed and you may only stay there a couple of hours perhaps no thanks! Love your videos Mrs Ruby thank you.

Thank you for letting us know!

Hint: when you make your reservation, if you tell them you need a mini fridge for your meds, they will put one in your room if your’s didn’t come with one. I totally agree about the room and would mention the wear and tear on an opinion card and nicely when you check out. Even snaps pics to show check out and send pics to manager when you get home. You could get some comps on your next trip, make sure and say Cesars is the only place you stay!! This also makes the manager aware the room isn’t up to par which surprisingly unless customers don’t point out with photos she/he might be unaware how bad the room looks. Loved your video.

Your honesty is key with your videos.....Thank you Ruby!! ❤️❤️

Back in 1975 my grandmother bought me a nice sweater for a special occasion. She was a seamstress at an upscale clothing store in Phoenix where our family lived. With her employee discount, the sweater cost about $25. Around 1 year later, on a trip to Vegas with friends; I saw the same sweater at a clothing shop at Caesar’s for $75. I even went inside the store to check the label. Same exact sweater.

Great vieo as always. I typically stay downtown or off strip. I'm going think about staying on the strip for my next trip. I've alway wanted to stay at the Luxor so I'll rewatch your review while I plan things out. I did also come across a place called the Thunderbird. I'll need to check if you've reviewed it.
