Forum Shops Caesars Palace Las Vegas is an extension to Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino. Within the 240,000 square feet of shopping euphoria there are more than 160 stores along with 13 high-end and mid-level restaurants and food kiosks scattered throughout the mall. By the way, Forum Shops is a Simon property, but don't expect to see only the typical stores. The Forum Shops have some of the most expensive retail stores in the world and there are some of the more common stores mixed in as well. Most people window shop, people watch or just go there to be seen.

The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas is one of the fanciest malls in the valley. The details on the exterior are only a clue of the beauty on the inside of this high-end shopping mall. Insider Secret - If you are going to eat at the Cheesecake Factory, make sure you eat inside the restaurant and not in the mall patio dining area. The noise of The Fall of Atlantis show is very, very loud. And before you are finished with your meal it will go off more than once while you are trying to eat.

The atmosphere of The Forum Shops at Caesars is set under a dome ceiling. It is painted like a blue sky complete with white clouds and lighting that goes from sunrise, daytime, and sunset among Ancient Roman architecture. There are marble sculptures 3-stories high, replicas of the Trevi and Triton Fountains, a spiral escalator, cobblestone-like floors, reflecting pool under a gorgeous skylight, fountains, and entertaining animatronics statues.

This would probably be the mall of choice for any claustrophobic as the atmosphere of the Forum Shops in Las Vegas is open with ceilings painted like the sky and the expansive shopping corridors. The Fall of Atlantis, the Atlantis Fish Aquarium, and Festival Fountain are Caesar Forum Shops' free entertainment. The shows play every hour on the hour starting at 10:00 a.m. every day of the week. The Fall of Atlantis is an animatronics show, which tells the story of King Atlas trying to determine which of his children will rule Atlantis.

There is a 20-foot winged beast that appears before fire and a flood destroy Atlantis.

The surrounding area gets crowded quickly to see this show. The show is a little corny for adults but kids enjoy it. The Atlantis Fish Aquarium is just behind The Fall of Atlantis animatronics stage. It is a 50,000-gallon saltwater aquarium with more than 100 species of ocean life. The Festival Fountain show has a laser light show as well as an animatronics discussion between Bacchus, Venus, Apollo and Pluto. This is at the west end of the Forum Shops in the square.
