The Forum Shops at Caesars is one of the most iconic “luxury-meets-Vegas” malls on the Strip—built like a faux Roman street under a painted-sky ceiling, with 160+ stores and restaurants and a couple of famous free indoor attractions (perfect when it’s hot outside).

📍 Location (Address)

You’ll see two common address formats online; both point to the Caesars Palace / Forum Shops complex on the Strip:

  • 3500 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109
  • (Also often listed as part of Caesars Palace frontage on Las Vegas Blvd)

On foot: enter Caesars Palace from the Strip and follow signs for “Forum Shops.” (It’s easy to accidentally end up in casino loops—look for “Forum Shops” wayfinding.)

⏱️ Hours (Official Mall Hours)

Regular hours:

  • Mon–Thu: 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM
  • Fri–Sat: 10:00 AM – 10:00 PM
  • Sun: 10:00 AM – 9:00 PM

⚠️ Individual stores/restaurants can keep different hours.

⭐ What to Do Inside (Don’t Just “Walk Through”)

1) 🏛️ Roman-themed interiors (the main attraction)

Even if you buy nothing, the architecture is the point: statues, fountains, “sky” ceiling, and photo spots that feel like a set.

2) ⚡ Fall of Atlantis (FREE show)

A classic free animatronic show inside the mall (near the aquarium area). Many visitors come just for this.

3) 🐠 Atlantis Aquarium (FREE)

Right next to the Atlantis show zone—easy “bonus stop” for families.

4) 🛍️ Shopping strategy that works

  • Start at the central fountain area and do a loop (you’ll cover the core quickly).
  • If you want “luxury window shopping,” evenings look the most dramatic under the ceiling lights.

🚶 How to Get There From the Strip

🚌 Option A: RTC Deuce (cheapest + simple)

Deuce on the Strip runs 24/7.
It’s slow but reliable for Strip-hopping.

🚝 Option B: Las Vegas Monorail (fastest if you’re on the east side)

Use Flamingo / Caesars Palace Station — the Monorail explicitly lists it as providing easy access to The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace.

🚖 Option C: Rideshare / taxi

Best if you’re dressed up, carrying bags, or it’s late-night.

✈️ Airport Connections: LAS → The Forum Shops (Step-by-Step)

At Harry Reid International Airport (LAS):

  • Route 108, 109, and CX stop at Terminal 1, Level Zero
  • CX also serves Terminal 3

Best public transit route (simple + tourist-proof)

  1. From LAS, take CX (Centennial Express) from Terminal 1 Level Zero (or Terminal 3).
  2. Get off at Flamingo & Las Vegas Blvd (a major Strip drop-off on the CX schedule).
  3. Walk ~10–15 minutes north to Caesars / Forum Shops or transfer to Deuce for a short ride up the Strip.

✅ If you have luggage: rideshare is often worth it—Strip sidewalks + bridges can be annoying with bags.

✅ Common Mistakes (Vegas-proof tips)

  • ⚠️ Not timing the Atlantis show: people miss it by 5 minutes and end up waiting around (do a quick check when you arrive).
  • ⚠️ Assuming every store closes at mall closing: luxury boutiques and restaurants may differ.
  • ⚠️ Driving and expecting quick parking: central Strip parking and traffic can eat your evening.
