Lisa Vanderpump’s first namesake hotel is set to open on the Las Vegas Strip this October. The project brings together her family and longtime collaborators as they race to finish the boutique property in time for its debut.
Construction crews work late into the night at the site of Lisa Vanderpump’s new hotel. The Strip hasn’t seen a project quite like this before. Vanderpump, known for her restaurants and reality TV, is about to put her name on an entire resort. The boutique property, built with Caesars Entertainment, is set to open its doors on Tuesday, October 20 at 9PM ET. This is Vanderpump’s biggest hospitality move yet.
The Vanderpump Hotel was officially opened on June 11, 2026, significantly earlier than the October date initially publicized, and was created on the site of the former Cromwell hotel in Las Vegas.
Inside the Vanderpump Hotel Project
This isn’t just another Strip hotel. Vanderpump’s past Las Vegas projects focused on restaurants. Now she’s running a full resort. PEOPLE reports the hotel has 188 rooms. That’s small by Strip standards, but it’s intentional. The team is under the microscope. Every room, every hallway, every menu item gets a second look. The Vanderpump brand demands it.
There’s drama behind the scenes. Kevin Lee, a longtime friend, is back after working with a rival. He’s not the only familiar face. Natalie Maguire, Venus Binkley, Chris Hahn, Angelica Jensen, Marcus Johnson, and Audrey Lingle—all from Vanderpump’s TV world—have come to help. They bring experience and a bit of reality TV energy to the job.
Countdown to Opening Night
Prior to launching the hotel, Lisa Vanderpump and Caesars Entertainment had already collaborated on three venues on the Las Vegas Strip: Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace, Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas, and Pinky’s at Flamingo.
The Strip has seen plenty of themed pop-ups and new concepts. The Haunted Inn at Palms Casino Resort is just one recent example. Vanderpump’s hotel is different. It’s tied directly to her celebrity brand. She’s involved in every step.
What Sets This Opening Apart
Most celebrity hotels are run from a distance. Not this one. Vanderpump is hands-on. Her family and longtime partners are on site. They want control over every guest’s stay. Reality TV regulars on the team guarantee the launch will get attention from fans and industry insiders.
The Strip keeps changing. Vanderpump’s hotel is a test. Can a boutique, personality-driven resort stand out among the giants? The answer comes in October. The team’s effort and Vanderpump’s personal touch already make this launch different. For visitors and hospitality pros, the countdown is on. October 20 can’t come soon enough.
