When you return to exploring Las Vegas again, here’s a hidden gem even frequent visitors may not realize exists.<\/p>\n
It’s the Brahma shrine at Caesars Palace.<\/p>\nNeon isn’t the only bling in Las Vegas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The shrine sits near the entrance to Hell’s Kitchen restaurant, a few feet from the “Absinthe” tent.<\/p>\n
The shrine is a replica of one of Thailand’s most popular shrines found at Bangkok’s Grand Hyatt Erawan Hotel. It was donated to Caesars Palace in 1984.<\/p>\nShout-out to the only Brahma shrine in Western Hemisphere.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
The shrine is 14 feet tall and weighs about 8,500 pounds. It originally weighed 1,200 pounds, but then the Bacchanal Buffet opened at Caesars, so that flew out the window.<\/p>\n
Visitors stop by the shrine outside Caesars Palace because it’s said to “bestow prosperity and good fortune on those who come to visit and make their hopes and wishes known.”<\/p>\n
Or, as gamblers put it, “Hey, it can’t hurt.”<\/p>\nCaesars directions: “Outside Hell’s Kitchen.” Bangkok directions: “Ratchaprasong intersection of Ratchadamri Road in Lumphini Subdistrict, Pathum Wan District.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
In the center of the shrine, Brahma has eight hands holding various objects like a vase (sacred water), a string of beads (karma), a book (knowledge), a spear (willpower), a conch shell (wealth) and Caesars Rewards loyalty club card (freebies). Unless, of course, it’s culturally insensitive to make jokes like that, then nevermind.<\/p>\n
Beyond Brahma’s eight hands, it also has four faces.<\/p>\n
The Internet can’t decide what the four faces mean. Some sources say they represent the divine states of mind: Loving kindness, compassion, sympathy and equanimity. Others say they represent career\/life, relationship\/family, wealth and wisdom\/health.<\/p>\nThe ’80s were a good time to be a plaque maker.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
Fun Thai fact: In Thai culture, it’s best to avoid praying at the Brahma shrine during your period, as it’s considered disrespectful. We are not making this up.<\/p>\n
The bottom line is the Brahma shrine at Caesars Palace has a lot of mojo and shouldn’t be overlooked as a place for calm and introspection and possibly an edge before you hit the casino.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
