Inside the Vanderpump Hotel
Gigolo sits inside the Vanderpump Hotel — the Strip property most Vegas regulars still know as the Cromwell, the boutique hotel-casino on the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo. Lisa Vanderpump putting her name on the whole hotel is the real headline here, and Gigolo is one of the rooms that comes with that rebrand.
It's a natural next step from what she's already built on the Strip. Vanderpump Cocktail Garden at Caesars Palace, which opened in 2019, turned a celebrity-branded bar into a genuine draw — bright, pink-accented, and built for Instagram. Gigolo runs the opposite playbook: darker, moodier, and more intimate.
Moody, Intimate, and Built Around a Specific Idea
The design language is intentional: moody, sexy, mysterious. Those words get thrown at bars constantly and usually just mean someone installed dim Edison bulbs. At Gigolo the idea seems to come from the concept itself — sophisticated without being stuffy, adult without being loud about it.
Signature cocktails are central to the offer. Vanderpump has made cocktail menus a point of pride across her Vegas projects, and the brand has enough credibility in that space now that the drinks are worth taking seriously, not just ordering for the photo.
Vanderpump's Track Record on the Strip
Vegas has no shortage of celebrity-backed drinking establishments. Guy Fieri's Vegas Kitchen & Bar at The LINQ. Athlete-owned sports bars scattered across casino floors. Most follow the same pattern: a recognizable name on the sign, a menu that leans on that name, and a room that could exist in any city.
Vanderpump's track record here is better than that baseline. The Cocktail Garden at Caesars has lasted, which is not guaranteed in a market where celebrity concepts turn over fast. It lasted because she stayed involved and because the product had a point of view — the candy-colored aesthetic, the cocktail focus, the feminine energy. Gigolo has a point of view too, just a darker one.
What's different this time is the scale of the bet. She isn't just opening a bar — she's lending her name to an entire Strip hotel and building intimate rooms like Gigolo inside it. That's a bigger swing than a single venue on a casino floor.
Who This Works For
The core audience is obvious: Vanderpump Rules and RHOBH fans who make Vegas trips and treat her venues as part of the itinerary. That group is real, loyal, and books in advance — the Cocktail Garden has run on that engine for years.
Beyond the fan base, an intimate, moody cocktail lounge with a celebrity pedigree is exactly the kind of room the date-night and bachelorette crowds book for a weekend on the Strip. With the Vanderpump Hotel's own guests and the Las Vegas Blvd & Flamingo foot traffic feeding it, expect the reservation calendar to fill quickly on weekends.
If you're mapping out a Strip night, Gigolo slots in cleanly alongside the bars and lounges around the center-Strip corridor. Visit Las Vegas has a useful nightlife guide if you're planning the full evening, and Vanderpump posts concept and reservation details through her official website.
