Talk about luxury! Caesars Palace has just upped the standard of luxury hotel staying with their Pool Villas. How much have they upped the ante? Well, at the cost of a nice car such as a BMW, $40,000 is a hefty price tag to pay for one night of hotel bliss.

Three massive villas are the latest addition at Caesars Palace. The villas are located on the second floor of the unfinished ‘Octavius Tower.’ At a sizable 10,000 square feet of space per suite, these villas also offer up the largest suites offered on the Strip, not to mention most opulent.

The villas each have a patio that overlooks the brand new Garden of the Gods pool that just opened for the summer. Each patio has its own fire pit, Jacuzzi, and dining table. Besides a view of the pool, each villa has access to a library full of leather bound books, a private elevator, formal dining room for 12, media//theatre room, and a butler at your beck and call your entire stay.

Each suite was designed by Wilson & Associates and all have different themes. One was designed to mimic a Grecian palace, another an old world Spanish style home, and the other a luxurious apartment in Paris. Wilson & Associates has also done other suites at Caesars and other design work at other hotels.

In total, $45 million was spent on these three villas alone – a staggering $15 million each!

Last Tuesday, MGM Mirage filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission to change its name. In the filing, it was stated that the company’s board of directors thought it was in the best interest of the company to change its name because of the company’s branding and marketing plans. The filing also cited that the new name would spread the corporate name more while still being a recognizable brand.

This isn’t the only time the MGM resort has been rebranded. Back in May 2000, the MGM Grand Inc was acquired by Steve Wynn’s Resorts, thus becoming the MGM Mirage. 10 years later, it is now the MGM Resorts International, but for how long?

Shareholders have been informed, and the annual meeting on June 15th will allow for shareholders to approve the change. For the time being, the change has become effective immediately, so now the MGM Mirage is now MGM Resorts International.

The name change has fueled talks that the company is trying to sell.

The MGM stands for Metro Goldwyn Meyer, in which the movie studio first purchased it. At the time, that would have made Kirk Kerkorian the largest shareholder. In 1993, The MGM Grand was the largest hotel in the world. In 1998, the largest bronze statue of a lion, “Leo”, was added to the front entrance.

The newest resort-casino of Las Vegas, the Cosmopolitan will likely be the last of its kind. The $3.9 billion hotel- casino owned by Deutsche Bank, is scheduled to open its doors in December, and have two-thirds of it operational. Operation of the remaining one-third will commence by July 2011.

In comparison to many other hotels, the Cosmopolitan’s features are closer together.

“I think this really changes how a major casino-resort in Las Vegas is set up,” chief executive, John Unwin told The Associated Press. “It’s still big, but it’s not 15 minutes in terms of getting around the casino.”

Unwin become the chief executive in October, having previously served as the general manager of Caesars Palace. He has stated that the construction of the Cosmopolitan is fully funded, and the plans are in place to complete the hotel for July 2011.

When completed, the 8.7 acre property will feature 2,995 hotel rooms, 100,000-square foot casino featuring first of their kind Casino Cabanas, 3 pools with different atmospheres, and 300,000 square feet to accommodate retail, restaurant, and entertainment space which will include 13 restaurants, a 1,800-seat theatre, spa and fitness centre, a nightclub, as well as convention center. The Cosmopolitan is also the second Las Vegas hotel to feature an underground parking garage.

In August 2008, 3700 Associates LLC headed by developer Ian Bruce Eichner entered foreclosure. Deutsche Bank paid $1 billion for the half-finished development, and hired The Related Cos. to complete construction of the hotel.

There are many types of hotels in Las Vegas and the new Aria hotel and casino is already making an impression on a certain type of visitor. Guests that are coming to the hotel to check it out and stay for a visit are trending to be of the 40+ age group and of a very high income calibre. While the hotel has to be happy with that kind of crowd it is also not as common of a demographic as some others and so it may be a little harder for the Aria to sustain a fully occupied hotel at all times.

The hotel is beautiful but somehow lends itself to the more elite crowd. Those of the younger demographic are still hitting up other hotels and casinos such as the Wynn, the Encore, the Venetian and the Palms. There are many others that Vegas goers like to visit but those are some of the popular destinations for Vegas visitors that are looking for luxury among good company and a good time!

It will be interesting to see if the new hotel continues to attract the same type of demographic moving forward but chances are that the hotels tend to stay pretty consistent with the type of people that visit them until the hotels and casinos become so dated and old that they completely go down in quality which tends to change the situation a little! Either way it is a beautiful new construction project that all should check out if you are heading to the strip anytime in the near future!
