The Forum Shops










The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace has more than 160 boutiques & shops as well as 13 restaurants & specialty food shops. The mall is designed to simulate ancient Roman streets & like with the other malls that we had been in, the ceiling was painted to look like the sky outside. The Forum is considered to be a high-end mall & the lavish shop fronts, facades, & fountains seemed to reinforce that impression. At the far end of the mall there was a circular, Atlantis themed 'hall' with shops around the perimeter & a huge fountain in the centre. When we looked up towards the ceiling, there were 'windows' looking out under the sea! We made our out via the mall entrance (instead of the entrance through Caesars Palace. This showcased the three-storey plaza which apart from seemingly being carved from solid marble, included replicas of the Trevi & Triton Fountains, & (my favorite) a spiral escalator.
