Sports bar with vintage feel, VIP domes, signature drinks









"Stadia Bar at Caesars Palace pays homage to basketball, football, and baseball with room for 120 in a 2,186-square-foot space designed by Rockwell Group. The floor uses recycled basketball court wood, while five VIP domes come wrapped in leather that look like a vintage leather football helmet. The domes are lined with a metal mesh and artwork by San Francisco-based artist and mural painter Apexer. Other sports-inspired design details include net-like chandeliers, sconces that look like deconstructed baseballs, and glove-like leather banquettes." - Janna Karel


"Stadia is a cigar and cocktail bar offering a reasonable viewing party experience with a beverage credit and reservations available." - Matthew Kang

"I saw a sports-themed space at Caesars Palace that pays homage to basketball, football and baseball in a 2,186-square-foot room for about 120 diners: the floor is made from recycled basketball court wood, five VIP domes are wrapped in leather that resembles a vintage football helmet and lined with metal mesh and Apexer artwork, and other details include net-like chandeliers, sconces that evoke deconstructed baseballs, and glove-like leather banquettes." - Susan Stapleton

"A new sports-focused bar occupying a 2,186-square-foot space with room for about 120 guests, designed by Rockwell Group and heavy on nostalgic athletic motifs: the floor is made from recycled basketball court wood, five semi-private leather-wrapped VIP domes evoke vintage football helmets and include LED screens, and the space features net-like chandeliers, deconstructed-baseball sconces, glove-style leather banquettes, and murals by San Francisco artist Apexer. A dedicated VIP area honors the Las Vegas Raiders with appearances from former players and cheerleaders, and the concept intentionally blends elements of a cigar bar and a sportsbook to create intimate viewing experiences. Food can be ordered from nearby quick-service outlets via the adjacent forum food hall, but the beverage program is the main draw: the drinks list highlights athlete- and celebrity-owned labels (for example, Termana tequila by Dwayne Johnson, 7Five beer by Ryan Reaves, and Howler Head Banana Bourbon by Dana White) alongside rare bottles like Buffalo Trace O.F.C. 1995 and Bowmore 27. A customizable highball cart lets guests pick spirits (Woodford Reserve, Maker’s Mark Private Select, Knob Creek Single Barrel, Johnnie Walker Black Label, Tito’s, Hendrick’s, Ron Zacapa 23, Don Julio Reposado, Maestro Dobel Diamante, Crown Royal, etc.) and from more than a dozen Fever-Tree mixers and garnishes (rosemary, thyme, basil, Earl Grey, jalapeño, juniper berries, and others). Cocktail barrels of Old Fashioneds and Manhattans are also available tableside (a $125 barrel serves six)." - Susan Stapleton

"Planned as a 2,186-square-foot Stadia Bar, the concept will feature a 120-seat bar and lounge designed to give the feel of a live sports arena." - Susan Stapleton
