This October, Nobu Hotel Caesars Palace plans to begin a multimillion-dollar refresh of its guest rooms and public areas, set to be completed by the end of 2021. The hotel in 2013 opened with 182 guest rooms and suites, including the extravagant rooftop Nobu Villa and one of the world’s largest Nobu restaurants.

Expected to debut in early 2022, a new Nobu restaurant and lounge is set to open at Paris, marking the second Las Vegas restaurant between Nobu Hospitality and Caesars Entertainment.

Las Vegas’ newest immersive attraction, Escape Blair Witch, from Globalcontent leader Lionsgate and leading Las Vegas attraction producer, Egan Escape Productions, is now open.

Escape Blair Witch brings Lionsgate’s classic horror film franchise The Blair Witch to life in its first official escape experience. The new attraction is located at the same expansive facility housing Lionsgate’s, The Official SAW Escape: Las Vegas, the world’s first immersive escape experience themed after the blockbuster SAW films, launched in 2018.

From the outside, the Escape Blair Witch building looks like an old ranger’s station with no mention of the Blair Witch. Players arrive as volunteers to help search for some local students who have gone missing in the forest. As they work their way through multiple scenes throughout the ranger’s station, the forest, and the old house in the woods, they quickly learn that they have become victims themselves and must work to escape the clutches of the Blair Witch.

Consummate showman David Lee Roth, the front man and voice of Van Halen, will return to Las Vegas on New Year’s Eve following his successful early 2020 residency dates. He will headline 9 p.m. shows on Dec. 31, Jan. 1, 5, 7-8 at House of Blues inside Mandalay Bay. Tickets start at $63.50 and go on sale Saturday, Oct. 2.

Located inside The District next to FUHU and RedTail, guests are immediately greeted by striking, floor-to-ceiling LED displays as they make their way through the newly opened 36,000-square-foot space, which features three experiences Capital Bar, Empire and the main room, Zouk.

Capital Bar, the first room welcoming guests, features an eye-catching LED canopy and boasts a top-notch mixology program at its 360-degree bar. Across the way is Empire, a versatile space that can act as an extension of the main room or a separate experience with its own vibe and music programming.

The main room, Zouk, will be home to some of the world’s top artists. The room features two main bars, and a 1,011-square-foot dance floor surrounded by VIP banquettes. This area hosts the iconic Mothership, a famed LED piece that has been reimagined from Zouk’s flagship nightclub in Singapore. As the venue’s centerpiece, the Mothership features a state-of-the-art lighting system.
