While you’ll have to wait until later this year for this grand opening, we’re all about keeping you in the know. Clique Hospitality continues its Las Vegas reign at Caesars Palace, where Caspian’s will take over the former Cleopatra’s Barge space. Designed by Celano Design Studio Co., the concept pairs an 1,100-square-foot caviar bar with a 2,300-square-foot music lounge. The caviar bar will showcase its delicacy alongside top Champagnes and vodkas in a space outfitted with onyx, pearl and brass accents. Find the hidden door to the music lounge and discover a colorful world dripping in gold and blue velvet, where live performances will occur nightly.

Pass between the gilded columns that frame this beautiful lobby bar at Fontainebleau Las Vegas to sink into a sumptuous blue velvet chair. Sip a classic cocktail between bites from a curated charcuterie board as your server offers personalized insight about the best of what Fontainebleau has to offer—(hint: if you’re hungry, it should involve Mother Wolf, Papi Steak or Komodo).
Taking over the former Heart Bar space at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino is Glass Bar, a 4,000-square-foot bar and lounge designed by the renowned Rockwell Group. Try The Light Show cocktail—Ketel One cucumber and mint vodka, Lagoon Bay aperitif and Fever Tree cucumber tonic water— or opt for bottle service after a star-studded concert at the nearby Bakkt Theater.
