The Cromwell Las Vegas is closing for good – and on May 29, 2026, Lisa Vanderpump opens her first-ever hotel in its place. Same 188 rooms, same dead-center Strip address, same 360 square feet per room. But everything inside has been stripped back and rebuilt from scratch, down to the bedside tables that reflect Lisa’s eyes staring up at guests. The opening-night rate lands on a Friday, and it’s priced accordingly – but mid-June weekday rooms are already running around $187, with select Diamond Plus Caesars Rewards offers dipping as low as $117.
Here’s a look at what the Cromwell actually was before the last key card was swiped, what Vanderpump has built in its place, what it costs across different tiers, and how the Caesars Rewards path to a free night here eventually works.
What the Cromwell’s Classic King Actually Looked Like Before Checkout
The original Cromwell room wasn’t big by any standard. Three hundred sixty square feet, but the designers packed it efficiently – mini bar tucked into the dresser beside a seating cluster, a large sofa, a stylish armoire, and a corner chair. The aesthetic leaned hard into a Parisian apartment vibe: berry tones, warm hardwood floors, and mood lighting that separated it from every other oversized box hotel on the Strip.
A dedicated makeup vanity with a Hollywood mirror and a pink velvet chair sat across from the bed. The bathroom delivered a well-lit granite sink area, a modern rain shower with a handheld option, and a separate toilet closet – clean, functional, and finished with care. Some rooms faced the Bellagio fountains directly.
There was one architectural tease the Cromwell never resolved: from the street, the building looks like it has balconies. There’s a ledge. There are windows. But those windows don’t open – and the Bellagio fountain is sitting right across the street. The Cosmopolitan built its reputation partly on real balconies. Paris Las Vegas just added them in the Versailles Tower. The Vanderpump Hotel now occupies arguably the best corner on the Strip to finally make that happen. For now, it remains an open question.
The $205-$287 Saturday Night Rate and What the Vanderpump Redesign Delivers for It
The new room keeps the 360 square feet but redesigns every surface. Pops of pink and olive replace the Cromwell’s berry palette. A forest mural anchors the wall behind the bed. The headboard shifts to dark charcoal velvet with a silver geometric frame – custom pieces handpicked by Vanderpump herself, described as bespoke and built for durability under hotel-volume use.
Reflective furniture is placed deliberately to push the perception of space outward. An oversized lounge chair, a full-length mirror, and a dedicated vanity round out the layout. Lisa Vanderpump’s stated design goal was a room that feels calming the moment the door closes – separate from the visual intensity of the casino floor below – while still carrying what she called a ‘snappy masculine edge.’
A Saturday night in mid-June runs $205 to $287 for a Strip-view room. Weekday rates fall closer to $187. Holiday weekends spike above that range. For Diamond Plus members, eligible dates are already showing discounted offers around $117 – not a comp, but a meaningful reduction on a brand-new property where Caesars typically holds rates firm during the opening window.
Beyond the rooms, the rooftop has been fully rebuilt. The former Drai’s Beach Club – now called Soleil – has been redesigned into a 65,000-square-foot day club sitting 11 stories above the Strip. Three pools, nine bungalows, cabanas, and full DJ programming on weekends make it clear this is not a quiet resort pool situation. Drai’s after-hours venue in the basement stays exactly where it’s always been – meaning guests can move from Soleil in the afternoon to Drai’s at midnight without leaving the building.
Giada’s restaurant remains open. Starbucks stays. The casino floor and sportsbook continue operating. A new Vanderpump Cocktail Lounge is confirmed but details haven’t been released. The 21 suites range from mid-tier options up to the Royal Rascal – which includes a pool table, eight-seat dining table, sectional seating, a soaking tub, and a steam shower.
Why the Diamond Plus Discount at $117 Is the Starting Point, Not the Finish Line
Caesars Rewards protects rates on new property openings – that’s a consistent pattern across the portfolio. The $117 Diamond Plus offer already visible on eligible June dates signals the property is inside the Caesars ecosystem and tracking toward comp availability, just on a delayed timeline.
The path to a fully free night runs through tier credits. New members receive 500 free tier credits at signup. Play on a Caesars Rewards card at any property, and discounted room offers typically start appearing within casual play ranges. The faster route to Diamond and above runs through five-to-ten times tier credit multiplier days and weekends – concentrated play windows that compress months of normal accumulation into a handful of visits. Zero-resort-fee comp nights are the endpoint, but the discounted offers come first, and the $117 rate already visible on a brand-new opening is a reasonable early signal of where this property is headed inside the rewards structure.
The Vanderpump Hotel sits at what is genuinely among the most valuable physical addresses on the Las Vegas Strip – 188 boutique rooms, zero convention-block filler, right across from the Bellagio fountains. When comp availability opens up on a property this size and this central, the window tends to be competitive. Getting into the tier structure before that happens is the practical move.
A new hotel on the best corner of the Strip, opening at $187 on a weekday and already discounting to $117 for Diamond Plus members, is a straightforward case for acting on the loyalty structure now rather than after opening buzz drives demand higher. The Cromwell’s boutique identity – always one of the Strip’s quieter finds – has been replaced by something with considerably more name recognition and a rooftop day club drawing weekend crowds. Getting a free or near-free night here, once comp offers arrive, will likely require more planning than it did at the Cromwell.
