Press Release
The highly anticipated, world’s first Nobu Hotel at Caesars Palace Las Vegas is set to open and welcome its first guests on Feb. 4, 2013. A masterful collaboration between Caesars Palace, Chef Nobu Matsuhisa and Nobu Hospitality primary shareholders, actor Robert De Niro and Hollywood film producer Meir Teper, the 181-room boutique hotel, along with a 12,775 square foot Nobu Restaurant and Lounge—the largest Nobu restaurant worldwide and the first on the famed Strip—will bring a new level of luxury, culture, sophistication and great cuisine to Las Vegas.

Developed in collaboration with Nobu Hospitality and Caesars Palace, Nobu Hotel will be the first celebrity chef-branded hotel venture in Las Vegas. David Rockwell and his firm the Rockwell Group are leading the overall interior design for the boutique hotel, which includes 181 guest rooms and suites. Guest rooms will offer stunning views with designs that embrace comfortable simplicity with natural materials and textures counter-balanced with outsized elements to reveal a touch of Vegas flair. Eighteen luxury suites will range from one-bedroom, 1,000 square feet, to five-bedroom, 3,500 square feet configurations and will be available for guests seeking premium accommodations or a stunning venue to host an unforgettable special event.

Room reservations are now being taken at
www.NobuCaesarsPalace.com. The interactive website allows guests to not only book a room but also explore the various rooms and suites and browse hotel amenities and offerings.

Showcasing Nobu’s first-ever in-room dining menu, exclusive amenities and guest privileges, Nobu Hotel will be centrally located within Caesars Palace, just steps away from Las Vegas' world-class entertainment, luxury shopping and gaming.


Nobu Hospitality partners including Chef Nobu Matsuhisa, Robert De Niro and Meir Teper, along with designer David Rockwell and principals from Caesars Palace, gathered yesterday at the original Nobu in New York City to provide guests with an initial glance inside the world&rsquo;s first Nobu Hotel, set to open in Las Vegas late 2012. In addition to revealing the first look into the hotel design, the group announced guest bookings will begin October 1. Rooms can be booked online at <a href="http://www.NobuHotelCaesarsPalace.com">www.NobuHotelCaesarsPalace.com</a>.<br /> <br /> To view multimedia assets for Nobu Hotel, visit <a href="http://multivu.com/mnr/56708-caesars-nobu-hotel-reveal">http://multivu.com/mnr/56708-caesars-nobu-hotel-reveal</a>.

From the moment of entry into the hotel lobby, guests will sense the dramatic transformation from Caesars Palace to Nobu Hotel. Surfaces will be comprised of wood tiles that extend through the elevator foyer and into the cabins &ndash; a single gesture that defines the entire hotel space. Schindler PORT elevator technology will transport hotel guests comfortably and efficiently using sleek touch-screens and a powerful traffic management algorithm resulting in fewer stops, less wasted energy and greater handling capacity. Hallways will feature patterned carpets designed to reflect elements of cherry blossoms and Japanese Zen gardens along with pleated wall coverings and custom fixtures inspired by origami.<br /> <br /> &ldquo;We have created a distinctly Japanese experience in the heart of Las Vegas with the first Nobu Hotel, but with a playful interpretation of Nobu&rsquo;s style and the Vegas bravado,&rdquo; said Rockwell, founder and CEO of Rockwell Group. &ldquo;Using the grand canvas of a hotel, we were able to elaborate on the use of hand-crafted, curated materials that create a luxurious effect and provide a world-class Nobu experience.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> One hundred and eighty-one guest rooms, including 18 suites, will offer Strip or garden views. Designs will embrace comfortable simplicity with natural materials and textures counter-balanced with outsized elements to reveal a touch of Vegas flair. Neutral tones will set the room while hints of purple and aqua are emitted from multiple accent pieces, decorative pillows and artwork. Patterned beige-colored carpets will feature a strong, unconventional graphic designed to invoke sentiments of landforms, seascapes and active movements. Staying true to the Nobu aesthetic, the furniture will reflect the influence of designers whose forms come directly from nature offering a modern comfort that is both elegant and casual.<br /> <br /> &ldquo;We are thrilled to be working with Caesars Entertainment as our strategic partner on the first Nobu Hotel which we are creating together adding a further lifestyle luxury offering to the well established Caesars Palace destination. We are looking forward to expanding on this relationship further with additional international projects&rdquo;, said CEO of Nobu Hospitality Trevor Horwell. &ldquo;The design of the Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace is exciting, fresh and represents the creative fusion of the Rockwell Group, Caesars Entertainment and the Nobu Group, and we are eager to welcome our guests to experience our unique lifestyle hospitality&rdquo;<br /> <br /> Custom art by up-and-coming Japanese artists will feature a mix of traditional prints and expressionist designs, speaking to the link between traditional Japanese and modern art. The main focal point of the room will be the feature wall that displays a custom calligraphy. Designed to represent the traditional form of Japanese ink painting Hitsuzendo, which translates as &ldquo;the way of the brush,&rdquo; this Zen-inspired art is consistent throughout the design, starting with the name Nobu. &ldquo;The &lsquo;o&rsquo; in Nobu signifies &lsquo;ens,&rsquo; or circle, one of the most common subjects of Japanese calligraphy,&rdquo; says Nobu. &ldquo;It symbolizes enlightenment, strength and elegance and is an expression of art.<br /> <br /> Bathrooms will feature rich teak fittings, stone tiles and modern fixtures throughout. An oversized walk-in shower comprised of traditional black Umi tiles will offer multiple shower heads and a teak bathing stool, a commodity seen in traditional Japanese bathhouses. Toto toilets and sinks that showcase custom freestanding concrete bowls set on wood plinth are designed to evoke a garden fountain. Luxurious bath amenities will include a selection of products by Natura Bisse in a signature rosemary and white tea scent designed exclusively for Nobu Hotel.<br /> <br /> &ldquo;The Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace experience is crafted with the Nobu guest in mind &ndash; we want to cater to their expectancies of quality and comfort while offering unique elements of surprise,&rdquo; said Gigi Vega, Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace general manager. &ldquo;We have strived to create an elevated experience that fully communicates the magnetic Nobu lifestyle with exclusive touches and opulent details to evoke excitement and form lasting memories.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> The arrival experience will include personalized service with in-room iPad registration and a traditional hot tea welcome amenity. Custom-made Simmons mattresses will be adorned with luxurious, 100 percent Egyptian cotton Anichini percale linens and ultra-soft Down Dreams pillows. The unique turndown service will include his and hers yukata robes and slippers displayed bedside along with an exclusive Nobu Hotel blend of scented sleep oils. An upgraded minibar curated by Nobu will consist of unique selections including organic Wild Poppy blood orange chili juice crafted from orchards in California, chocolate-dipped Pocky pretzels, Japanese beer and an assortment of Dean &amp; Deluca snack items.

The highly anticipated menu will include popular Japanese items, along with Nobu&rsquo;s signature twists on American classics. A selection of bento boxes will offer a customary Japanese breakfast and the Vegas-themed High Roller which features lobster wasabi, Wagyu steak, spicy garlic shrimp and an assortment of nigiri and premium sushi rolls.

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">This month, Central Michel Richard at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas debuts, offering meeting planners a winning option for their next private, small-group event. Central, now offering the first-ever 24-hour dining experience helmed by a James Beard Award-winning chef, is available for private events, offering flexible interior space and a spacious outdoor patio.<br /> <br /> Pronounced sen-TRAHL, the restaurant&rsquo;s most extraordinary element is its menu. Crafted to be not only delicious, but also&mdash;in Richard&rsquo;s own words&mdash;&ldquo;unpretentious and fun,&rdquo; breakfast, lunch, dinner and late-night menus feature all the dishes he known for at Central in Washington, D.C., plus a substantial number of new dishes created especially for the Caesars Palace location. Executive Chef Todd Harrington and his team offer a variety of menus specially designed for group receptions and events, or will be happy to create a completely customized experience if a group so desires. Savory favorites from Richard&rsquo;s existing repertoire include charcuterie and cheese selections such as &ldquo;faux&rdquo; gras terrine with country pate and a cheese plate featuring daily selections of three and five cheeses; sandwiches including the grilled mushroom and cheese sandwich and lobster burger; appetizers and the goat cheese Caesar sal ad. Main courses include Richard&rsquo;s famous fried chicken, short rib pappardelle and syrah sauce and rotisserie chicken with roasted potatoes. Mouthwatering sides on offer include Brussels sprouts with bacon and creamy polenta, while Central&rsquo;s dessert menu is highlighted by delectable items such Napoleons and chocolate lava cake. <br /> <br /> As for the space&mdash;the 9,600-square-foot restaurant boasts a capacity of 300 total&mdash;220 seats inside and 80 outside on the restaurant&rsquo;s picturesque French caf&eacute;-themed terrace that will officially open by late September, just when Las Vegas&rsquo; weather is at its best. Framed by large, potted cypress trees, the terrace will overflow into the historic Caesars Palace's Roman Plaza. Oversized windows and French doors will lead guests from the restaurant&rsquo;s interior to the terrace and will remain open, weather permitting.<br /> <br /> Even its location inside the world-renowned Caesars Palace is ideal; Central is situated inside the heart of the hotel&rsquo;s bustling main lobby. Upon check in, guests immediately see Central&rsquo;s 75-foot-long onyx bar where cocktails, like the cuisine, are served around the clock.<br /> <br /> Central's colors reflect Richard's preferred palate of burgundy and green, which is evident not only throughout his collection of restaurants, but also in his cookbooks including &ldquo;Happy in the Kitchen&rdquo; and &ldquo;Sweet Magic.&rdquo; The floor is terrazzo with splashes of wood. Upon entry, a 10-foot-high screen with ever-changing imagery greets guests. Images include seasonal ingredients, as well as artistic renderings of Richard.<br /> <br /> Amber-seeded, textured, colored glass lend itself to creating a bright, cheery space, reflective of Richard&rsquo;s buoyant persona. This element accents areas throughout the restaurant including the bottle racks at the bar.<br /> <br /> Because chicken occupies such a prominent position among Richard's signature dishes, it&rsquo;s fitting the restaurant showcases an oversized rotisserie designed to simultaneously roast 40 chickens. As they slowly turn on their spits, the chickens emit savory aroma the restaurant&rsquo;s patrons and passersby are sure to find irresistible.<br /> <br /> Central also have a white wine room, located to the left of the main entrance and a red wine room positioned deeper into the restaurant; both rooms have 13-foot-high ceilings. The freestanding red room have a rotunda-like design, a burgundy floor and encased on three sides by glass, allowing guests to peer in from the main dining area. <br /> <br /> Richard is fond of circular motifs, so artistic interpretations of dishes figure prominently into Central&rsquo;s design scheme. One of the primary focal points is an 8-foot-high sculpture composed of stacks of white porcelain dishes appearing to topple. Additionally, dishes suspended from mobiles dangle from the ceiling intermittently throughout the restaurant. Of all locations in the world, Caesars Palace&rsquo;s proliferation of circular and other rounded architectural motifs is among the many reasons Richard was aesthetically drawn to the property.<br /> <br /> To incentivize meeting planners, Central is also offering a special rate of $65 per person for those who book holiday events and parties Nov. 15, 2011. With advance notice of at least 14 days, Central is also available for buyouts between the hours of 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. For more information, as well as for complete details and restrictions on the special rate for early holiday bookings, please call (702) 650-5921.<br /> <br /> &ldquo;For Central in Las Vegas, we are in a perfect location, being in Caesars Palace&rsquo;s main lobby.

This marks the first time a James Beard award-winning chef is helming a 24-hour dining experience. Located in the heart of the world-renowned Caesars Palace&rsquo;s bustling main lobby, the restaurant seats 220 inside, 80 outside and another 75 at the bar. Richard is known for his American fare with a French accent. Dishes range from his famous fried chicken to a signature lobster burger and incredibly imaginative vacherins.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> <b>Who:</b><br /> Michel Richard exemplifies the art of cuisine and a love of his profession. Richard was a pioneer in French/California cuisine before moving to Washington, D.C., where Michel Richard Citronelle became his flagship restaurant. Richard's creativity can be seen in prestigious culinary publications such as Food &amp; Wine, Food Arts and Bon App&eacute;tit. Chosen by the James Beard Foundation as Outstanding Chef 2007, Richard also won the James Beard Foundation Award for Outstanding Wine Service at Citronelle the same year and his second book, &ldquo;Happy in the Kitchen&rdquo; published by Artisan, which won a James Beard Nomination. To rave reviews, and the 2008 James Beard Award for Best New Restaurant, he opened Central Michel Richard, which continues to be a highlight of the Washington, D.C. restaurant scene.<br /> <br /> <b>Where:</b><br /> Central Michel Richard at Caesars Palace<br /> 3570 Las Vegas Blvd. South<br /> Las Vegas, NV 89109<br /> (702) 650-5921<br /> <br /> <b>Web sites:</b><br /> </span><a href="http://www.centrallv.com"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> www.centrallv.com</span></a><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /> </span><a href="http://www.twitter.com/centrallv"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> www.twitter.com/centrallv</span></a><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><br /> </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/centrallv"><span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"> www.facebook.com/centrallv</span></a><br />
<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;">This September, Central Michel Richard will debut at Caesars Palace. Just like Richard&rsquo;s signature American cuisine crafted with a French accent, the restaurant&rsquo;s d&eacute;cor will be unpretentious yet imaginative.<br /> <br /> The 300-capacity restaurant will be located in the area previously occupied by the Augustus Caf&eacute;, adjacent to Caesars Palace&rsquo;s bustling registration lobby. This prime location at the Strip-facing main entrance of the hotel will allow not only for guests to park in the hotel's main valet and go directly into the restaurant, but also for outdoor dining with a spectacular view on Central&rsquo;s spacious patio.<br /> <br /> Central will be Caesars Palace's only location to be open 24 hours a day, seven days per week.<br /> <br /> <b>The Designer</b><br /> Tom Mulhearn of 2 Scale Interiors of Falls Church, Va. has been designing for Richard for six years. He recently designed Michel's eponymous restaurant inside The Ritz-Carlton, Tyson's Corner, last fall. Also the designer of the original Central in Washington, D.C., Mulhearn knew immediately the Caesars Palace Central would require the integration of Richard&rsquo;s style on a much grander scale.<br /> <br /> &quot;Everything is bigger and bolder in Las Vegas so our challenge was maintaining what makes Richard's restaurants warm and welcoming while adding a Las Vegas sensibility. I think we definitely accomplished that feat,&quot; says Mulhearn.<br /> <br /> The overall seating capacity will be approximately 220 inside, 80 outside. A centralized row of banquettes will serve as the spine of the restaurant.<br /> <br /> A first for Richard, Central&rsquo;s 75-foot-long onyx bar will spill into Caesars Palace&rsquo;s main lobby. It will be dramatically back lit, offering restaurant patrons as well as guests passing through the lobby refreshing libations from Richard&rsquo;s signature cocktail menu 24 hours a day.<br /> <br /> Central's colors will reflect Richard's preferred palate of burgundy and green, which is evident not only throughout his collection of restaurants, but also in his cookbooks including &quot;Happy in the Kitchen&quot; and &quot;Sweet Magic.&quot; The floor will be terrazzo with splashes of wood.

Of all locations in the worlds, Caesars Palace's proliferation of circular and other rounded architectural motifs is among the many reasons Richard was aesthetically drawn to the property.<br /> <br /> &quot;Caesars Palace is an iconic resort known throughout the world but certainly its design appeals to me as well,&quot; adds Richard. &quot;The roman columns throughout the hotel hotel and just the hotel's layout were exactly what I loved.&quot;<br /> <br /> <b>Grand Terrace</b><br /> Opening in September, the 80-seat terrace will overflow into the historic Caesars Palace's Roman Plaza. Large potted cypress trees will frame the sophisticated outdoor patio boasting a French caf&eacute; theme. With the picturesque backdrop of the Las Vegas Strip and favorable weather, the terrace will appear inviting from the inside as well. Oversized windows and French doors will lead guests from the inside to the terrace and will remain open, weather permitting. Providing the perfect setting to sip that first invigorating cup of coffee while reading the paper, the terrace will surely be a go-to spot for early risers among Caesars Palace's guests.<br /> <br /> &quot;For Central in Las Vegas, we're going to be in a perfect location, being Caesars Palace's main lobby.

<span style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12px;"><b>The Forum Shops Remains Trendsetting Leader within Industry and Las Vegas</b><br /> <br /> LAS VEGAS (Jan. 2010) &ndash; Painted skies, living statues and Las Vegas&rsquo; first celebrity chef. The Forum Shops at Caesars continues to lead the retail industry both domestically and internationally by setting trends and being &ldquo;first&rdquo; in the Las Vegas market. Early 2010 will be no exception as Las Vegas&rsquo; first Max Brenner, Chocolate by the Bald Man and Christian Audigier are set to be opened this year.<br /> <br /> With these openings to look forward to in 2010, The Forum Shops has long enjoyed its plethora of industry firsts. In 1992, Wolfgang Puck became the first celebrity chef to open a restaurant in Las Vegas. Spago&rsquo;s set the trend of world-renowned chefs breaking the city of its stereotypical buffets and midnight specials by bringing California cuisine to guests. Today, Las Vegas is known around the world for having the largest prestigious collection of chefs along the Strip.<br /> <br /> For retailers, The Forum Shops at Caesars proved to be a Mecca of sorts for shoppers, being the first to bring the world&rsquo;s most celebrated designers to the destination. Versace, Armani, Dior, Fendi, Valentino, Bulgari, and many more all tell tales of how The Forum Shops was their first location and how today those stores continue to be some of the top producers for sales in their respective companies worldwide.<br /> <br /> Coming this summer, for Max Brenner, Chocolate by the Bald Man, chocolate is not just about taste; it also represents romance, sensuality and decadence. A worldwide phenomenon with menu primarily made from chocolate, Max Brenner&rsquo;s location at The Forum Shops will hold the distinction of being the largest at 9,400 square feet. Also to catch the guests&rsquo; eyes: enormous white vats mixing chocolate that will flow into pipes that run throughout the entire space. The d&eacute;cor will also feature huge bricks, candles,<br /> pralines, colorful toy tines and crates overflowing with cocoa beans. Currently, including Las Vegas, there will be 29 total locations, with two in the United States: New York City and Philadelphia.<br /> <br /> Las Vegas&rsquo; first Christian Audigier location will feature his luxury street wear apparel and accessories for men, women and children. The French designer behind the popular rhinestone-encrusted Ed Hardy brand adds to his empire when the store opens this summer.<br /> <br /> Now open and new at The Forum Shops, Paradiso for the &ldquo;ultra-cool shopper.&rdquo; Apparel, handbags and accessories include the latest must-have labels from legendary brands such as True Religion, Rock &amp; Republic, BCBG, Betsey Johnson, and Stuart Weitzman. Irresistible looks ranging from funky fun to outrageous.<br /> <br /> Also now open, Marshall Rousso. For more than 30 years, Marshall Rousso has beautifully dressed women who want to look dazzling for a night out on the town, especially in a city like Las Vegas. From glamorous evening wear to hip casual clothing, Marshall Rousso offers remarkable styles to women who appreciate being noticed. The location will include a wide assortment of stylish accessories, including an extensive collection of handbags and an impressive selection of footwear from such shoe designers as J Renee, BCBG Girls, Desario, Chinese Laundry and Onex, among others, add the finishing touches.<br /> <br /> When shoppers arrive and experience these new offerings, one of the immediate experiences they will encounter is the ambience. This was the arena shoppers first experienced the fantasy recreation of an ancient Roman Forum streetscape with classic columns and arches whose painted skies reflected the change from sunrise to sunset. Central piazzas also feature ornate fountains and the classic statuary, Fountain of the Gods reflecting that of an ancient forum in towns, where the center was created to be the formal area that led people to the marketplace.<br /> <br /> When Phase III expansion debuted in 2004, a three-level, freestanding spiral escalator became the first of its kind in the United States and was designed exclusively for The Forum shops by Mitsubishi.<br /> <br /> Another &ldquo;first&rdquo;: a 50,000-gallon saltwater aquarium stocked with colorful tropical fish located in the Roman Great Hall. Of heroic proportion, the hall is 160 feet in diameter and 85 feet high.<br /> <br /> In this same hall is one of two locations where guests can see awe-inspiring statues that come to life. Today, these statues are a &ldquo;must see&rdquo; for Las Vegas visitors of all ages. The Atlantis Show has more than 400 moving parts in each of the characters.<br /> <br /> As for the Festival Fountain statues, Bacchus hosts a party for Forum Shops visitors with assistance from Apollo, Venus and Plutus. Each character adds their special talent to the festivities, accompanied by music, sound effects, animatronics and special scenic projections on the dome and computerized waterscape effects.</span><br />

On The Food Network&rsquo;s &ldquo;Throwdown with Bobby Flay,&rdquo; the Pellegrino family of the world-renowned Rao&rsquo;s defeated Bobby Flay.

This was an incredible experience. Family is why we do what we do and it was great to bring home a win for Team Pellegrino. We wish everyone a very happy holiday season.&rdquo;<br /> <br /> Flay turned up the heat and fired up his team in order to compete against a notorious family of more than 100 years of Italian tradition on its side. Three mouth-watering fish dishes were the menu du jour. As an excited audience gathered, they cheered and basked in the festive charm as our chefs got down to business.<br /> <br /> &ldquo;Family was everything in this competition, even down to the recipes. One of the winning dishes was a fresh spice Rosso Bruno tomatoes and lobster medallions. This is a dish I have been cooking since 1986. The fresh ingredients make all the difference in making the dish light and full of flavor,&rdquo; says Carla Pellegrino.<br /> <br /> On Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, guests can experience the &ldquo;Throwdown Menu&rdquo; inspired by &ldquo;Throwdown with Bobby Flay.&rdquo; The menu begins with the antipasti: Cacciuco Toscano, a seafood soup with lobster, shrimp, calamari, sea bass, PEI mussels, cockles clams and scallops in white wine and tomatoes broth over a Italian garlic bread.
