What happens in Vegas … is happening again? Lisa Vanderpump is pursuing yet another over-the-top venture out West. But this time, instead of a kitschy bar or restaurant, she’s working on opening an entire hotel — her very first — aptly named the Vanderpump Hotel. Imagine the bachelorette parties.
The reality star already has three bars and restaurants in Sin City — Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, Vanderpump à Paris, and Pinky’s by Vanderpump, which are all located in Caesars properties — but this is her first stand-alone project there (though it’s also in partnership with Caesars Entertainment). The Vanderpump Hotel will take over the Cromwell, a 188-room boutique hotel on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road that will continue to operate during renovations. The entire property will be Pump-ified, emphasizing “sexy elegance and comfort” in the design, before opening in 2026.
“What an extraordinary opportunity to develop this iconic location into something unique, playful, and upscale,” Vanderpump said in a press release. “Hospitality has always been our passion, and our mission is to create something sumptuous with a unique atmosphere.” If I know Vanderpump like I think I do, then one thing’s for sure — the staff will be hot and possibly eligible for reality TV casting.
Speaking of: While you won’t be seeing the full reno anytime soon on HGTV, Vanderpump didn’t totally shut down questions about a possible Bravo show centered around the new property. “Reality does follow me around,” she told People. Reality show or not, if Mike White hasn’t locked down a location for The White Lotus season four yet, then boy, do I have an idea …
