The Cromwell is officially losing its name on the Las Vegas Strip, one letter at a time. Crews have started peeling the boutique hotel-casino's signage off the Strip-facing corner of Flamingo Road and Las Vegas Boulevard as Caesars pushes ahead with a full rebrand. The property will stop accepting new room bookings after March 22, 2026, and its guest rooms will go offline for renovations tied to a relaunch as The Vanderpump Hotel. The casino floor and the Giada restaurant are expected to stay open while the makeover unfolds.
The Las Vegas Review-Journal first reported the timing of the shutdown and documented crews removing the large Cromwell letters from the building. That outlet also noted that an earlier version of the property's reservation calendar had hinted at a mid-February pause in bookings followed by roughly two months of rooms being unavailable. According to the Review-Journal, Caesars has not given an anticipated completion date for the guest-room work. Guests who already hold reservations past the March 22 cutoff are expected to hear from their booking agent or the company managing their stay.
Caesars and Vanderpump's plan
Caesars Entertainment announced its partnership with Lisa Vanderpump in a March 2025 press release, revealing that the property will be renovated and relaunched as The Vanderpump Hotel. The plan calls for Vanderpump-designed public spaces, a new lounge and redesigned guest rooms throughout the hotel, according to Caesars Entertainment. In that announcement, Vanderpump said her team "can't wait to breathe new life into this property."
What will stay open during renovations
The Review-Journal reported that while hotel rooms will be pulled from inventory, the casino and Giada restaurant are expected to remain in operation so the busy corner of the Strip does not go quiet during construction. The outlet also noted that Caesars has not supplied a specific end date for the room renovations, leaving the full length of the outage uncertain for now. Other venues tied to the property are set to continue operating on their normal schedules until Caesars releases firmer timelines.
Small hotel, big changes
The Cromwell is a compact Strip property with 188 guest rooms, according to a fact sheet on Caesars Entertainment, so the closure affects a relatively small slice of nightly room inventory compared with the megaresorts that surround it. The building dates back to 1979 and originally opened as the Barbary Coast before reopening as The Cromwell after a major renovation in 2014, per Wikipedia. Caesars' materials detail the room count and on-site venues, while the hotel's long history on that corner of the Strip is laid out in more depth on Wikipedia.
If you are holding a reservation at The Cromwell around late March, it is worth double-checking your confirmation and reaching out to your booking provider or Caesars' reservations team to discuss rebooking options. Caesars and Vanderpump are expected to share more details as construction moves ahead, so anyone planning a Strip stay this spring should keep an eye on their email and reservation updates in case schedules shift.
