The Forum Shops at Caesars

About

The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, also known as The Forum Shops, is an upscale shopping mall on the Las Vegas Strip in Paradise, Nevada. It is connected to the Caesars Palace resort, and both feature a Roman theme.

The mall project was announced in 1987. It was developed and initially owned by the Gordon Company until co-developer Melvin Simon & Associates (now Simon Property Group) took over full operational control. The land had previously been used for the unsuccessful Caesars Palace Grand Prix. Construction of the Forum Shops began in 1990, and the project opened on May 1, 1992, with 240,000 sq ft (22,000 m2) of leasable space. An expansion opened in 1997. Another expansion opened in 2004. The mall has 675,000 square feet (62,700 m2) and approximately 160 tenants, including various restaurants. It has also offered several shows featuring animatronic statues. Until 2016, The Forum Shops was the highest grossing mall in the U.S., measured in terms of sales per square foot.
