Spotlight Notes
Venue Details
Fact
The iconic Colosseum theater here has hosted major entertainment acts, while the Forum Shops contain a replica of the Roman Senate chamber that was actually used for filming scenes from the HBO series 'Rome'.
Fact
Since its 1966 opening, the property has featured a secret underground tunnel system connecting it to The Linq and The Flamingo, allowing employee and guest movement without weather exposure.
Getting There
The property's large footprint means late arrivals can feel rushed despite its central Strip location. Plan extra time to navigate from your entry point to your destination.
About the Venue
The Forum Shops offer dining, drinks, and shopping options ideal for a pre-show visit or casual exploration.
Parking
Standard parking view. Switch modes if local, veteran, or rewards perks could change the best option.

Drink Pick
Caesars Palace
Dramatic garden-lounge energy with a Vegas-heavy cocktail presentation.
Caesars calls this out as one of the signature cocktails, so it is the safest first order.
Strong pre-show move if you are already anchored at Caesars and want something unmistakably Vegas.
On-property pick
Official cocktail menu →Nearby Experience
Strip
A stronger fit for central and south-Strip groups that want a deliberate side mission instead of another generic attraction.
Makes sense when the plan is already built around adventure energy, not when the night should stay on-property.

Nearby Experience
Bellagio Las Vegas
Classic free Strip spectacle with a bigger payoff once the sun drops and the crowd energy picks up.
Easy add-on when the event already keeps you central Strip and you want something unmistakably Vegas.
Strip

Wynn Las Vegas
A polished Wynn-only spectacle that feels more tucked away than the bigger Strip tourist magnets.
Best when you want a quieter post-dinner or post-show detour that still feels distinctly Vegas.
