Caspian’s Cocktails & Caviar will open in Caesars Palace the last week of December.
Caspian’s replaces Cleopatra’s Barge, a magnificent specimen of high Vegas kitsch that featured a replica Egyptian barge surrounded by water and gently rocked by hydraulics — in the middle of a cocktail lounge. Cleopatra’s Barge closed during the pandemic after a sail of almost 50 years.
Vegas takes itself much more seriously these days.
Caspian’s comes courtesy of Clique Hospitality, which has created several bars and restaurants on and off the Strip. Caspian’s incorporates an 1,100-square-foot caviar bar and lounge and a 2,300-square-foot live music speakeasy lying behind a hidden entrance off the bar.
