Lisa Vanderpump has added hotelier to her already impressive résumé as she expands her Las Vegas empire with one goal in mind: for guests to “misbehave accordingly.”
“For many years you have been coming to my restaurants… We’ve been eating, drinking, chatting the night away, and I’ve loved every minute of it,” Vanderpump — who recently expanded her Vanderpump Blooms x Bloom Haus floral collection at Kroger to include Vanderpump Home items — told Us Weekly and other guests gathered for the grand opening of her new Vanderpump Hotel in Las Vegas. “So in a way, we’ve been dating! And now, finally, after all these years, you get to sleep with me!”
The cheeky joke drew laughs from a crowd packed with Bravolebrities — and also perfectly captured the vision behind Vanderpump’s latest venture. After decades spent welcoming fans into her world — via her L.A. restaurant empire, and TV shows like The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Vanderpump Rules — the entrepreneur now offers something even more immersive: a stay at her first- ever hotel, the newest jewel in her growing Vegas empire, which also includes restaurants Pinky’s by Vanderpump, Vanderpump à Paris and Vanderpump Cocktail Garden.
Created in partnership with Caesars Entertainment, the boutique property transforms the former Cromwell hotel into a luxe destination infused with Vanderpump’s signature style: equal parts elegance, whimsy and a touch of mischief. From bespoke furnishings and custom-designed carpets to the deeply personal Gigolo cocktail lounge, nearly every detail reflects Vanderpump’s hands-on approach.
For Vanderpump, 65, the project represents the culmination of years spent building a brand that extends far beyond reality television.
“I was given an extraordinary opportunity,” she told Us. “I get goosebumps thinking about it. Caesars Entertainment, who are arguably the best in hospitality, had the confidence in me to say, ‘We want to do a hotel with you.’”
The star describes the property as personable and sexy, and she especially likes the intimacy and ease of the space.
“You can pull up and go to the lobby, then 10 steps later, you’re in this fantastic Gigolo Bar,” she said. “Then you can walk to the elevator and 30 more steps, you can be in your room.”
Rather than creating a sprawling resort, Vanderpump wanted guests to feel immediately immersed in her world. “When you walk into the lobby, it’s like, ‘Wow, look at these flowers, look at these teacups, look at these pictures, the decanters,’” she said. “It feels like you are walking into somebody’s home. It’s like you are coming to a party rather than walking into a corporation.”
One of the most personal spaces in the hotel is Gigolo, the glamorous cocktail lounge named after Vanderpump’s beloved Pomeranian, Giggy, who became a fan favorite during her years on reality TV. For Vanderpump, the bar is more than just a place to grab a drink.
“The emotional content of the Giggy bar really just speaks volumes,” she said. “It’s playful, it serves gorgeous cocktails, it’s decadent.”
Giggy’s legacy also lives on through the Vanderpump Dog Foundation, the nonprofit Vanderpump and her husband, Ken Todd, founded in 2016. Inspired by their love of animals, the organization has helped rescue and rehome thousands of dogs while advocating against animal cruelty around the world.
As guests explored the sparkling new property on opening night, one thing was clear: The hotel is more than a celebrity-branded venture. It’s a reflection of Vanderpump herself — equal parts enchanting, whimsical and deeply personal.
The hotel’s official slogan is, “Misbehaving accordingly” — so what does that mean for guests? “Having fun, being naughty,” Vanderpump says. “Don’t take it so far that you’re going to get yourself in trouble,” she advises, “but life is playful! It’s all about having a bloody good time.”
