Every shop, the two free Roman fountain shows, the spiral escalator, and where to actually eat — walked on foot and written down in order, so you know what you're getting before you go in.
Is the Forum Shops worth it? Yes — and it's free to walk. It's one of the most over-the-top malls anywhere: a fake Roman sky that shifts from day to night, two free fountain shows, a rare spiral escalator, and 150+ stores from Louis Vuitton to Lululemon.
What's actually inside: luxury flagships (Louis Vuitton, Fendi, Valentino, Burberry), a serious watch-and-jewelry row (Tiffany, TAG Heuer, Hublot, Breitling), everyday brands (Lululemon, Aritzia, Glossier, Ray-Ban), and big-name restaurants (Gordon Ramsay Pub, The Palm, Carmine's, Vanderpump). Getting in: enter straight off the Strip near the front of Caesars, or from inside the casino.
It's the shopping mall built into Caesars Palace, and calling it a mall undersells it. The ceiling is painted as a Roman sky that slowly cycles from day to dusk, the main concourse is done up like an ancient street, and the whole thing runs deeper than it looks — you can walk a solid ten minutes from the Strip entrance to the far end without doubling back. You don't need to spend a dollar; plenty of people walk it just for the spectacle and the air conditioning.
Here's the actual lineup from a walk this month, front entrance to back. Stores rotate, so treat it as a strong map rather than a guarantee — but this is what was open in August 2026.
Price your dates before you book — a big event week can move the rate.
Two fountain shows run inside for free: the Fountain of the Gods and the animatronic Fall of Atlantis show near the back, plus a full-size Trevi Fountain replica along the main run. Add the day-to-night ceiling and the spiral escalator and you've got a genuinely fun half-hour that costs nothing.
The Forum Shops carries a heavy roster of name restaurants: Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill, The Palm, Carmine's (huge family-style Italian), Amalfi by Bobby Flay, and Vanderpump Cocktail Garden for the Bravo crowd. For something quicker there's a Celebrity Food Hall, True Food Kitchen, Dominique Ansel for the cronut, and the usual Starbucks.
Caesars Palace puts you a walk from the Forum Shops, the Bellagio fountains, and the center-Strip everything. Rates swing hard by date, so price your nights before you commit.
Compare Caesars & center-Strip hotels →There are two ways in: straight off the Las Vegas Strip through the grand entrance near the front of Caesars (you'll pass the Absinthe tent out front), or from inside the Caesars casino floor if you're already in the building. It's on the north side of Caesars, an easy walk from the Bellagio and the Cosmopolitan next door.
Absinthe out front is the long-running favorite — see what's on for your dates.
