Caesars Palace and Nobu Hospitality executed definitive  agreements  to create the first-ever Nobu Hotel, Restaurant and Lounge in Las Vegas. This unique boutique-style hotel is set to open July of 2012.  This innovative concept will combine the world’s first Nobu Hotel with the first Nobu restaurant and lounge on the Las Vegas Strip.

This  will  further the tradition of world-class accommodations and service synonymous with the resort’s luxury brand.

Caesars   Entertainment   Corporation   and   Nobu  Hospitality  anticipate
identifying wider global opportunities to build on the strengths of the two organizations.

“The Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace will be a strategic milestone in the next chapter  with  the continued support of Caesars Entertainment,” said Trevor Horwell, chief executive of Nobu Hospitality.  “Whilst we have a very solid pipeline  of hotels on a global scale, we are resolute in our determination to  ensure  we  create  in  Las  Vegas  a  unique five-star destination for style-makers and trendsetters the world over.”

David  Rockwell of the Rockwell Group will lead the overall interior design of  the  180-room Nobu Hotel. Rockwell’s design experience and passion have been  synonymous  with  the  Nobu brand for more than 20 years.  The hotel, restaurant and lounge will feature a stylish interior design that showcases natural materials, fused with Nobu’s signature Japanese elegance.

“The first-ever Nobu hotel, restaurant and lounge will offer a stylish new experience of luxury and hospitality, appealing to returning Caesars Palace guests and attracting new visitors,” said Gary Selesner, president of Caesars Palace. “The hotel will offer an experience unlike anything in Las Vegas, pairing exclusive accommodations with a resort famed for world-class entertainment, dining and shopping.”

Under  the  scheduled  development plan, the Centurion Tower will undergo a multi-million dollar refurbishment.

The  11,200 square foot Nobu restaurant and lounge, located in the heart of the  Nobu  Hotel,  will be the ideal destination to be seen, socialize, and enjoy the unique cuisine of celebrated Chef Nobu Matsuhisa.  The restaurant will  offer  several  teppanyaki  tables, sushi bar and private dining area along with a large lounge and bar boasting 327 seats.
