- Caesars Palace was founded in 1966 by Jay Sarno and Stanley Mallin, who sought to create an opulent facility that gave guests a sense of life during the Roman Empire. It contains many statues, columns and iconography typical of Hollywood Roman period productions including a 20-foot statue of Augustus Caesar near the entrance. Caesars Palace is now owned by Vici Properties and operated by Caesars Entertainment. As of July 2016, the hotel has 3,960 rooms and suites in six towers and a convention f.

I recently submitted an article for an award-winning Vegas website, and made the misstep of referring to that place attached to the Forum Shops with the possessive Caesar's instead of the plural Caesars. He wasn't a dick about it (I mean, he could simply have said 'never do it' instead of 'never ever ever ever do it,' however, he has a point: I should know better). But it got me thinking, which is never a good sign - why not Caesar's? Turns out I'm not alone in this: people in Vegas-related message forums fall victim to this pitfall this nearly as much as they misuse the forms of your/you're/yourn/yer. Even Jeopardy writers made this mistake a couple of years ago in a Daily Double question. And they're supposed to be the smart game show. Batman vs superman game.
Flashback to the Sixties (I know, how cliché), entrepreneur Jay Sarno was having a hell of a time coming up with a specific theme for the opulent resort he was planning. He wanted to go with something that brought to mind nobility. Why not model it after Julius Caesar? He seemed to have it pretty good, right up until he was betrayed by his best friend and stabbed repeatedly to death. But Sarno didn't just want the folks to feel like they were visiting someone else's palace, he wanted all of his visitors to feel like Caesars (except for that whole betrayal/stabbing thing) in their own right. And hey, the staff can always benefit from a bit of noblesse oblige, right? The fountains and Roman decor went in, and the rest, as they say, is history. Today they still stand with the proud distinction of serving the worst bloody mary in all of Sin City.
Why not Caesars' Palace, you ask? For that one, you're going to have to go onsite and ask around. And when you do, tell 'em Boozehouse sent ya.
