Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace
How did it make you feel when you got there?
When Nobu opened in 2013, it was the first restaurant of its kind from Nobu Matsuhisa. His restaurants were well-known, but this was his first hotel. It turns out to be a surprisingly personal experience inside the giant that is Caesars: The boutique-within-a-hotel idea works in some places, but not all of them make you feel like you’re really having your own experience. So when you walk off the main floor and into the very small lobby of what used to be the old Centurion tower, it feels very private and Japanese, just like Nobu and the Rockwell group imagined it. There are beautiful touches, like wood walls that look like they could be a Louise Nevelson sculpture.
How is the crowd?
The people who visit Nobu are smart. They enjoy the cozy atmosphere of a boutique hotel, with nice touches like tea on arrival and great bath products, and the fact that the Nobu restaurant is just downstairs. But they’re also right in the middle of everything at Caesars, so they can easily go to the clubs, see a show at the Colosseum, or eat at the crazy Bacchanal buffet.
What’s cool? Describe your room.
Some of the nicest and most unique apartments in Las Vegas can be found at Nobu. The Rockwell-designed Nobu villa, a 10,300-square-foot rooftop villa with its own Zen garden that almost every famous person has stayed in and costs $35,000 a night, has gotten a lot of attention. But the penthouse, Hakone, and Sake suites, which are a bit smaller, have lots of great features, like private media rooms, places for a personal sushi chef to set up shop, and of course VIP treatment at Nobu restaurant. But some of the best deals on the Strip are in the normal rooms, like the Nobu Deluxe King. The Rockwell Group redesigned the rooms in 2022 with kintsugi, the Japanese art of gold epoxy-veined pottery, in mind. This gave the rooms a warm, homey feel.They also have huge bathtubs for people who love big, fancy bathrooms. You can also get Nobu food delivered to your room 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We really need some deep, healing sleep. They got us?
Filo d’Oro sheets make the bed look beautiful. It all feels very fancy and calm at the same time. Most likely, you won’t want to turn on the huge 55-inch TV.
What about the little things, like a minibar or shower treats? Do any of those things end up in your bag?
The tea that’s given to you when you walk in and the fact that you can order from Nobu at any time are both really nice touches. But the tech might be what impresses you the most. You’ll never get stuck on the “local” lift, for starters: An elevator reader reads your key before you get in, and you pick your floor before you get in. It won’t stop on other floors, which is good for safety and saves time. My favorite secret amenity is the spa menu at Qua, the huge spa in Caesars, that is only available at Nobu.
Tell us that the bathroom will be good.
The bathrooms are really big, and the tubs are made of sleek black Japanese tile. The rooms are pretty small, but keep in mind that this is an addition to the old Centurion tower. Big rain shower heads and tables made of teak, like you’d find in a bathhouse, are there. The amenities are NaturaBisse and smell great.
Wi-Fi is likely the most important subject of all. What do you call it?
Wi-Fi is part of the $52 rental fee.
Is room service worth it?
People who have always wanted to be able to call Nobu and have their delicious food brought right to them now have their chance. Seriously, this food is great, and you should order room service while you’re here. The restaurant downstairs is the only Nobu that offers breakfast, and it’s not hard to get to. Nobu’s “bagel and lox,” a breakfast cake made of crispy rice with everything spice, tofu cream, and salmon pastrami, was one of the menu’s biggest hits from the start and is still a big hit today. But you can get anything from a traditional Japanese breakfast to bacon wrapped in green tea pancakes. Think of all the things you love about Nobu, like the famous black cod miso, the jalapeno-flavored yellowtail sashimi, and all the sushi you can eat. But order one of the bento boxes if you really want to feel like you’re there. It costs $185 for the “High Roller,” which comes with lobster, crab, wagyu, sushi, and all the other nice things. Plus, you can have unique drinks from the restaurant brought to your room, like a lychee and elderflower martini.
Staff: Who would get a prize if you could give one? Why?
The eating room staff is, of course, top-notch. They’re not only working in the dining room, but also in people’s rooms.
Do any of the other services and benefits stand out to you? It doesn’t matter if it was babysitting, gyms, spas, parking, or something else.
Even though the restaurant and lounge are great, what’s really amazing about this hotel is how it’s able to be its own little boutique inside a huge casino.
What did you remember or find most upsetting about your stay?
The food at Nobu is what people remember most, but the rooms are so well put together that you’ll think you’re in a spa.
In the end, is it worth it, and if so, why?
The price for these rooms is well worth it. This is the spot for you if you like high-tech safety and lots of little comforts.
