Lisa Vanderpump’s newest Las Vegas venture is officially open, and her signature style is on full display. The newly rebranded Vanderpump Hotel, formerly The Cromwell, has begun welcoming guests and taking reservations, while its moody new bar, Gigolo, has opened to the public on the Las Vegas Strip. The space reflects Vanderpump’s familiar blend of glamour, drama, and playful luxury, giving fans a fresh destination that feels unmistakably tied to her brand.
Gigolo was inspired by Giggy, Vanderpump’s late beloved dog who became a fan favorite during her years on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. A 62-inch sculpture of Giggy stands as a centerpiece inside the bar and lounge, serving as a tribute to the pet that also helped inspire The Vanderpump Dog Foundation. According to the release, the foundation has supported animal cruelty legislation and helped save and assist thousands of dogs in California and around the world.
Designed by Vanderpump Alain, the partnership between Vanderpump and business collaborator Nick Alain, the bar is built around a dark, sultry atmosphere with refined details throughout. The 50-seat lounge features a mix of bar seating, tables, chairs, and couches, all arranged to create an intimate but stylish setting. Crystal lighting, deep red chandelier shades, and custom décor contribute to the high-end look that Vanderpump fans have come to expect from her hospitality projects.
Vanderpump said creating a bar in Giggy’s honor had long been a dream, adding that the space also plays into the other meaning of the name with a sexy, tongue-in-cheek design concept. Caesars Entertainment executive Sean McBurney praised Vanderpump’s ability to create lounges that become popular social destinations, saying Gigolo reflects her personality and strengthens the hotel’s identity as a must-visit experience.
The cocktail menu continues the theme with inventive names and polished presentation. Drinks include Talk Dirty To Me, a martini for two served with an oversized olive skewer; Slow Burn, a blackberry Old Fashioned smoked with hickory; Hush Hush, which involves placing a secret into a small envelope stored in the Vanderpump Vault; and other signature options such as Pump & Bump, Pumptini, Giggy Tonic, and Vanderpump wines.
The hotel opening is also being documented for television. Bravo is filming a limited reality series focused on the transformation of The Cromwell into The Vanderpump Hotel and the behind-the-scenes pressure of opening a high-profile Las Vegas property under the Vanderpump name. The show will follow Vanderpump as she expands her Vegas presence and prepares the hotel to meet her brand’s standards.
For fans of Vanderpump’s style, the new hotel and bar offer a mix of elegance, personality, and entertainment in one of the Strip’s most recognizable locations.
