The option to book a room at The Cromwell on the Las Vegas Strip is expected to end on Feb. 15, 2026. When rooms are available again, Cromwell will be The Vanderpump Hotel, probably April 13, 2026. (That isn’t set in stone, as renovations can sometimes take longer than expected.)<\/p>\n

Cromwell will be open the entire time—the casino, the sportsbook, Giada’s, Drai’s, Starbucks—but the rooms will be offline as they get a Lisa Vanderpump-inspired makeover.<\/p>\n

No official date has been announced for the official launch of The Vanderpump Hotel, but there’s likely to be some pomp and\/or circumstance, not necessarily in that order.<\/p>\n

“Vanderpump” translates as “from the pump.” Then again, aren’t we all?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Plans to rebrand Cromwell to Vanderpump were announced nearly a year ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The original plan was for the hotel to continue operating during the renovation, but with its petite 188 rooms, the decision was made to just tear off the Band-Aid and do all the rooms at one time.<\/p>\n

Cromwell has had a number of names over the years. The casino opened as Barbary Coast, then it was Bill’s Gamblin’ Hall and Saloon, then Cromwell, with a moment of madness when it might have been the Gansevoort Las Vegas, but nobody talks about that debacle. They thought about Caesars Republic<\/a> for a moment, too. We have receipts.<\/p>\n

The most interesting story about Cromwell’s history is one which has never been reported, other than by us.<\/p>\n

When Cromwell was Bill’s, we got access to one of the executive offices. There, we found a trap door that led to the casino’s count room below. The trap door was cleverly concealed by carpeting.<\/p>\n

Why has nobody ever asked Michael Gaughan about the trap door into the count room at Barbary Coast that was sealed up when Caesars bought the place? Hint: Las Vegas doesn’t have journalism. https:\/\/t.co\/gdLcQLjqWn<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/IVb5ZTW4Tm<\/a><\/p>\n
