"Everyone knew of chef Nobu Matsuhisa’s restaurants when he opened his first hotel here in 2013, but its debut marked the beginning of a new era for the renowned restaurateur—and for the city’s storied hotel scene. Within the behemoth that is Caesars, it ends up being a surprisingly intimate stay: Few hotels can pull off the boutique-within-a-hotel concept and feel as if they are truly an individual experience. When you walk into the very small lobby (of what was once the old Centurion tower), it feels as Nobu and Rockwell Group imagined it—very spare and Japanese, with beautiful touches like wood walls resembling what could be a Louise Nevelson sculpture. The Rockwell Group’s 2022 rethink of the rooms inspired by kintsugi, the Japanese art of gold epoxy-veined pottery, gives them a warm, residential feel. And if you’ve ever dreamed of picking up the phone and having the amazing food of Nobu delivered right to you, your time has arrived. It’s easy enough to go to the restaurant downstairs—the only Nobu that serves breakfast—but you should absolutely take advantage of the in-room dining while you’re here." - Andrea Bennett
