Caesars Palace Tower to Become First Nobu Hotel

On Monday, Caesars Palace Las Vegas and Nobu Hospitality announced plans to convert Caesars' Centurion Tower into the first Nobu Hotel. The 180-room property will mark the restaurant company's first foray into the lodging business -- and will, of course, include a Nobu restaurant and lounge, the first on the Las Vegas Strip. Under the plan, Caesars will close its Centurion Tower this summer to begin a multimillion-dollar renovation, showcasing natural materials in an elegant, Japanese-inspired design. Sixteen suites and a penthouse are planned, in addition to the 180 guest rooms. Guests of the hotel will have a private check-in facility and the opportunity to order room service from the 9,500-square-foot Nobu restaurant on the tower's ground floor. Terms of the deal haven't been disclosed, and the transaction must be approved by Caesars Entertainment's board of directors and Nobu's shareholders.
