Nobu Hotel will lead the way as the first celebrity chef-branded hotel venture, with the first location to open at Caesars Palace. The Nobu Hotel is expected to soft open before the end of the year, and the official website has launched and is currently taking reservations. Adjacent to the hotel will be Nobu Restaurant and Lounge, set to open in January of 2013 as the world’s largest and first on the Las Vegas Strip. On the new website, guests can browse through the luxury hotel's guestrooms and supersized suites.
