The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace

The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace is the original template for resort-integrated luxury retail in the United States. Opened as a 240,000 square foot expansion of Caesars Palace in 1992 and extended to its current 675,000 square feet over subsequent phases, the property established the commercial logic of treating a hotel’s retail concourse as a standalone shopping destination rather than an amenity. That original thesis has been validated continuously: Forum Shops has long been cited among the country’s most productive resort retail properties by sales per square foot, driven by the permanent supply of qualified tourism spending flowing through Caesars Palace and its position at the center of the Strip’s highest-traffic corridor.

The luxury and premium fashion roster at Forum Shops is one of the deepest single-property luxury concentrations on the Strip. Louis Vuitton operates separate Men’s and Women’s boutiques. Gucci, Prada, Balenciaga, Fendi, Valentino, Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Alexander McQueen, Balmain, Dolce and Gabbana, Versace, Bvlgari, Tom Ford, Maison Margiela, Moncler, Brunello Cucinelli, Canali, Giorgio Armani, and ZEGNA collectively represent the full tier of European luxury in a single concourse. Cartier, Van Cleef and Arpels, Harry Winston, Tiffany and Co, Rolex, Omega, Panerai, IWC, Jaeger-LeCoultre, TAG Heuer, and Breitling anchor the watch and fine jewelry register. The competitive set for this tenant concentration is not the broader Las Vegas market — it is Rodeo Drive, the Miami Design District, and Bal Harbour.

The mid-tier and aspirational register ensures that Forum Shops functions as a full retail destination rather than a luxury-only environment. Zara, H&M, SKIMS, Aritzia, AllSaints, Canada Goose, Maje, Sandro, Ralph Lauren, Brooks Brothers, and Tommy Bahama serve the premium contemporary and accessible luxury customer. This compression of tiers is intentional: a tourist party visiting Forum Shops contains spenders across the full income distribution, and the leasing plan captures that range within the same concourse. POP MART, F1 Arcade, and The Escape Game provide the entertainment anchors that extend dwell time and drive repeat visits from the Strip’s leisure customer base.

Dining at Forum Shops is a destination category in its own right. Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak and Stone Crab, The Palm, Carmine’s Italian Restaurant, RPM Italian, Sushi Roku, Water Grill, and True Food Kitchen collectively represent a dining collection that functions independently of the retail offer. The volume of full-service restaurants within the property converts the shopping visit into a multi-hour dining and entertainment occasion, which in turn extends retail dwell time and per-visit spending. The Cheesecake Factory provides the high-volume accessible dining anchor that captures the broadest customer tier.

For brands targeting the Las Vegas luxury and premium market, Forum Shops remains the anchor address in the metro’s retail hierarchy. The Caesars Palace integration provides a customer pre-qualification that no freestanding or mall-integrated format in Las Vegas can replicate: every guest arriving at the property has booked into or is visiting one of the Strip’s highest-rated hotel addresses. Entry decisions at Forum Shops are benchmark decisions for a brand’s global flagships, not domestic rollout decisions. The competitive peer set within the property is the same peer set a brand faces in its strongest global markets.
