Flames at Lisa Vanderpump's Future Vegas Hotel: No Injuries, But Sparks Alarm!
VIP ALERT: Lisa Vanderpump's Las Vegas Hotel Dream Takes a Scorching Hit
In a shocking turn of events, a fire broke out at the site of Lisa Vanderpump's highly-anticipated hotel in Las Vegas, leaving fans and onlookers wondering if the Bravolebrity's grand vision for The Cromwell is headed up in flames. According to sources close to the situation, a blaze erupted in the parking lot of The Cromwell, the boutique lodging that will be transformed into The Vanderpump Hotel, on Friday morning.
But don't worry, Lisa's devotees - it seems the fire was quickly extinguished by the Clark County Fire Department, and no injuries were reported. However, as a precautionary measure, several guest rooms were temporarily evacuated out of "an abundance of caution," according to Kala B. Peterson, Senior Director of Public Relations for Caesars Entertainment.
"Early this morning, a fire broke out inside the parking garage at The Cromwell," Peterson revealed in an exclusive statement to thescholarlynote.com. "It was quickly extinguished, and there were no reported injuries. Out of an abundance of caution, some guest rooms were briefly evacuated."
The cause of the fire remains a mystery, leaving many wondering if it's just a minor setback for Lisa's ambitious project or a sign of things to come.
But don't count on The Vanderpump Hotel being delayed anytime soon - as Peterson assured us, "At this time, all operations have returned to normal. We would like to thank the Clark County Fire Department for its swift response."
Just last March, Lisa announced plans to transform The Cromwell into The Vanderpump Hotel, marking her first-ever foray into the hotel business. The project has been highly anticipated, with fans eagerly awaiting a glimpse of what's in store.
"I am thrilled to once again be partnering with Caesars Entertainment, this time to venture into the hotel business," Lisa gushed in a press release at the time. "What an extraordinary opportunity to develop this iconic location into something unique, playful and upscale. Hospitality has always been our passion, and our mission is to create something sumptuous with a unique atmosphere."
The transformation of The Cromwell will begin early next year, with the hotel's 188 guest rooms and suites set for a major redesign. The front desk area will also receive an upgrade, and a brand-new lounge will be constructed as part of the renovation.
And, as always, expect nothing but high-end, bespoke everything from Vanderpump Alain, Lisa's design company, which will create one-of-a-kind furnishings and lighting fixtures specifically for The Vanderpump Hotel. Think sexy elegance and comfort, with gorgeous rooms and a fresh new feel to the casino floor - that's what fans can expect.
But don't worry, Lisa's devoted followers - this isn't the first time she's faced a challenge in Las Vegas. As we all know, her restaurant empire, which includes SUR Restaurant & Lounge, Tom Tom Restaurant & Bar, Pump Restaurant & Bar, and more, has been the subject of its own reality show, Vanderpump Rules.
For 11 seasons, fans got an inside look at the lives of Lisa's staff, including Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval, James Kennedy, Tom Schwartz, Katie Maloney, Kristen Doute, Stassi Schroeder, Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, Scheana Shay, and Lala Kent. And now, it seems, they'll get to see the behind-the-scenes of her newest venture.
But as the renovation begins in earnest next year, one thing's for sure - The Vanderpump Hotel is going to be a game-changer. Stay tuned for all the juicy details!
