How about the little things, like mini bar, or shower goodies. We’re craving some deep, restorative sleep. Because Vegas is all about donning your new identity for a while, you can pick from villas with completely different aesthetics, from Ancient Greece to a formal northern European villa furnished in Biedermeier furniture, to neoclassical French Empire and English Regency, all with features like 24K gold-plated fixtures and hand-painted murals, private elevator entry, limo transport, and VIP check-in. The centrally located Palace Tower is an easy walk to the Appian Way shops and the Garden of the Gods Pool. Those looking for a splurgy trip should go straight for the 29th-floor villa suites, which, like the grand villas in the Octavius and Augustus towers, are massive and full of great (and OTT) design details. Caesars is constantly renovating, and its largest tower-the Palace Tower (with 1,181 rooms) got a $100 million reno just a few years back. Where it can take a lot of time in other parts of the resort just to locate coffee, there's a Starbucks just off the lobby here and it all feels much better planned. They're generally well-informed frequent visitors to Vegas who either do business here or gamble here frequently.

Those who bypass Octavius for Augustus know this. The rooms are spacious, and though the newer Octavius tower is considered to be an upgrade, it actually takes longer to walk to Octavius from the main entrance and the casino. Each tower is different, and Augustus is one of the newest constructions (and recently renovated). What’s the crowd like? The travelers who are Augustus regulars know exactly what they want from the 4,000-room Roman extravaganza that is Caesars. It's all light colors and modern lines in Augustus (no centurions taking selfies with margarita swilling tourists here!), and you won't even be close to a casino floor, so it feels very calm. You can valet there and go right to registration, as opposed to the Forum and Julius towers (and even the hotel-within-hotel that is Nobu), where you have to come into the chaotic main entrance. How did it strike you on arrival? The best thing about arriving at the Augustus and Octavius tower rooms is that they have their own entrance, on Flamingo, far away from the crowds of the Strip.
