Named in honor of Vanderpump's beloved dog, Gigolo, also affectionately known as Giggy, the lounge carries deep personal meaning reflected throughout its design. Giggy holds a special place in Lisa Vanderpump's heart, and at the center of Gigolo stands a playful sculptural tribute to him. Standing 62 inches tall, the custom resin statue pays homage to her late Pomeranian companion, who was a constant presence by her side on and off camera and inspired the creation of The Vanderpump Dog Foundation. The Vanderpump Dog Foundation has been instrumental in writing and passing animal cruelty laws, has saved more than 3,000 dogs in California alone and has aided thousands more worldwide.
Designed by Vanderpump Alain, Lisa Vanderpump and her business partner Nick Alain's design company, Gigolo seats 50 guests and is sultry, sexy and refined. The space reflects Vanderpump Alain's signature bespoke aesthetic, with deep red oversized chandelier shades, delicate crystal lighting, red roses and brass accents. Black velvet banquettes and a custom Vanderpump Alain black-and-red carpet are a bold, rich and lush design choice as a comfortable and welcoming entrance to the hotel. Stunning black metal lattice wraps the lounge's perimeter, while the central circular bar anchors the space and offers eight bar-top games. Along the back wall, a large liquor display cabinet adds a striking focal point.
"To commemorate my beloved Gigolo, our lovedog who inspired The Vanderpump Dog Foundation, creating a bar in his honor has always been a dream of mine," said Lisa Vanderpump. "He has meant so much to us and to so many others, and to see a giant statue of him in Las Vegas is a meaningful moment for me. The other meaning of Gigolo is also something we had a lot of fun with – creating a dark, sultry space with a wink and plenty of sexy undertones. I think it will be a welcome respite to guests and visitors, nestled into the bosom of The Vanderpump Hotel."
In true Vanderpump fashion, a lounge wouldn't be complete without a playful yet polished cocktail list. At Gigolo, the menu delivers on that promise with clever, conversation-starting drinks featuring inventive names and refined flavor profiles. All with a hint of Gigolo's sexy undertones, drinks include the Talk Dirty To Me (an intimate martini for two, featuring an oversized skewer stuffed with olives as a shared garnish) and the Slow Burn (a blackberry-flavored Old Fashioned smoked with hickory). The bar's signature cocktail is the Hush Hush, a drink that requires the customer to spill a secret into a tiny envelope, which is locked into the Vanderpump Vault, to be kept or revealed… that is the question. Vanderpump aficionados can also enjoy Vanderpump classics such as the Pumptini, the Pump & Bump, the Giggy Tonic, and signature Vanderpump Wines.
"Lisa has the extraordinary ability to develop lounges that not only attract guests but build a genuine sense of connection," said Sean McBurney, Chief Commercial Officer and Regional President of Caesars Entertainment. "Every concept she creates becomes the place to be and be seen. Gigolo delivers exactly that: a fun, intimate bar that reflects Lisa's authenticity, brings her personality to life and reinforces the hotel's identity as a must-experience destination."
