"Caspian’s at Caesars Palace replaces what had been the Cleopatra’s Barge lounge and music venue. The space is getting a stylish update with the studio behind Casa Calavera at Virgin Hotels and Barbershop Cuts and Cocktails at the Cosmopolitan creating two distinct spaces. The bar will be all black and white with accents of onyx and pearl and stocked with top-shelf vodka and Golden Osetra. It sets the scene for ordering potato latkes, waffles, and Pringles chips with caviar toppings and sides. Cocktails take the form of the Ruby Riff with vanilla vodka and passion-fruit syrup and the briny Dirty Ass Martini. A hidden entrance off the caviar bar will lead into a technicolor Art Deco-style lounge with golden accents, oversized couches, and a sparkling chandelier. Bands will perform nightly while Thursdays will go open mic with visitors invited to hop on stage. The 1,100-square-foot cocktail lounge will seat 50 guests, while the 2,300-square-foot live music speakeasy will accommodate nearly 100. When it debuts in December, the cocktail lounge at Caspian’s will be open from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. daily, with the kitchen closing at 10 p.m. The live music speakeasy will be open from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. from Tuesday to Saturday." - Janna Karel
