"The approach up to the first Caesars Palace property outside of Las Vegas lays the foundation for what’s to come, you don’t know where to look. Its position beneath the world’s tallest observation wheel, and the razzle dazzle it exudes impresses before you’ve even made it to the check-in counter. A casino-less Caesars Palace may seem crazy to some (the UAE has strict gambling laws), but there’s plenty that makes up for it here: Designed to reflect a modern take on the Roman Empire, the twin-hotel property boasts its own private residences and a beach club, and exudes flourishes of Romanesque design. The butler service afforded to guests who book suite stays is a nice touch, while the floor to ceiling windows provide a window to views of the city beyond." - Melinda Healy, Laura Ratliff
