Project Description
The Forum Shops at Caesars is a 304,000-square-foot, three-level, highly-themed expansion to one of the most luxurious shopping locations in the United States. The project provides 175,000 square feet of premier retail stores, dining establishments and entertainment venues. The expansion provides an elegant exterior presence, extending the existing shopping plaza to Las Vegas Boulevard. The classic architecture, combined with an outdoor pedestrian plaza, contain two-thirds scale replicas of the Trevi and Triton Fountains and offer a signature entrance to The Forum Shops. The exterior also includes 57 classical statues and many smaller statues within deep reliefs on the walls. Once inside, some of the most impressive elements are the four multi-level spiral escalators. Caryatids, sculpted female ornamental statues, are positioned on both sides of the escalators. The "Reflection Fountain" is a beautiful 60-foot by 30-foot design element positioned at the entrance from the Strip. The addition of approximately 60 upscale specialty retail tenants expands The Forum Shops' selection of luxury brand merchandise. Several restaurants broaden the appeal as the city's premier venue for an exclusive fine dining experience.
