In mid-March, Caesars Palace in Las Vegas unveiled its three-level Garden of the Gods swimming and lounging oasis, redesigned by Allard & Conversano to include eight distinctive swimming pools with lavish amenities.
In addition to the extravagant new pools, there are 44 private cabanas, each with a stocked refrigerator of juice and water, flat-screen TV, DVD player, iPod docking station, wireless Internet access, ceiling fan, and plush furniture. Hundreds of vibrant blue deck chairs, plush daybeds, and loveseat-inspired scoop chairs also populate the space. Completing the Garden of the Gods additions is an all-new whirlpool retreat and an added garden wedding venue.
Here is a rundown of each pool:
Fortuna (pictured)
An 18-foot waterfall is the centerpiece of this pool, where guests can enjoy swim-up blackjack. Guests who wish to socialize and connect gather near the Fortuna (swim-up blackjack) pool, flanked in circular sun lounge couches near the Fortuna Bar.
Apollo
Apollo was the Roman god of light and the sun, so it is only fitting that the pool best suited for sun worshipping is named after this deity. The Apollo pool is positioned at the southwest corridor of the oasis for maximum sun exposure and features five cabanas and six canopied daybeds as well as chaise lounges perfect for soaking in the Las Vegas sun.
Bacchus
Elevated 18 feet in the area, the two Bacchus pools are framed by two graceful curved staircases and available only to invited guests. Private shallow sun chaise pools, an individual whirlpool, and VIP cabanas staffed with butlers are some of the area’s special features.
Neptune
Situated near the Fortuna bar, the Neptune pool is the social hub of the Garden of the Gods with its eight cabanas, 10 daybeds (available in three different varieties), and chaise lounges.
Jupiter
The cabana-lined Jupiter pool offers a quiet respite from the social scene. Designed for lengthy lounging, the pool is distinctive for its subdued ambient music and large custom-designed cabanas equipped to provide relaxing spa services from Qua Baths & Spa.
Temple
The crowning centerpiece of Garden of the Gods, Temple is where shade meets sun. Families enjoy the large round Temple pool, where young swimmers in training often splash under the rotunda’s central fountains and play on the steps around its large perimeter.
Venus
Scheduled to open April 1st, the Venus Pool Club is an exclusive pool experience in Las Vegas, a sophisticated and secluded European-style retreat for guests 21 and older.
