Yesterday our little sibling VegasChatter tipped us off to the news that Caesars Palace new Octavius Tower would be taking reservations today for stays starting on January 2. So we had to find out--what will the damage be for a night in the hotel's newest, most technologically advanced tower yet?

$219 which is actually a lot less than we were expecting although still about $20 higher than Caesars' new Augustus towers.

$219 will get you a night in a 550-sq.ft. deluxe room with a king-sized bed, views of either Garden of the Gods pools or the Eiffel Tower as well as a separate entrance and check-in through the Augustus Tower.]]> juliana 2011-09-15T18:49:24-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/9/12/122026/532 <![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/1425/caesarstoiletries.JPG" class="top"><p> Life really is better at the top. And you're a lot cleaner up there too! <p>Check out this stash of toiletries we found in the bathrooms of the Senators Suite in the Augustus Tower at <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Caesars+Palace+Las+Vegas/local/107"><b>Caesars Palace</b></a>. Alongside the usual Gilchrist & Soames shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion and bars of soap came a few extra toiletries like a dental kit, a shaving kit, a sewing kit, a comb, lip balm and deodorant. That is truly the mark of an awesome toiletry selection--when it includes deodorant (cause Lord knows we need it! Har har.) <p>The regular rooms at Caesars don't skimp on the toiletries either as our little sibling, <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com/story/2010/3/2/19154/38320/vegas-travel/Our_Residency_At_Caesars_Palace_Was_Not_A_Resounding_Success">VegasChatter</a> found out last year. juliana 2011-09-12T17:20:01-05:00 http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2011/9/6/105311/3260 <![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/anti-view">Anti-views</a> are legendary in Vegas.

Yet a <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/killer view"><b>killer view</b></a> can be a thing of beauty in this man-made town, even if you have to pay a premium for it (usually called a Strip View room.) <p> Here are some of the best killer views that we at HotelChatter and <a href="http://www.vegaschatter.com">VegasChatter</a> have admired during our frequent stays.* Most of them Strip-facing and anchored by the Bellagio fountains and the fake Eiffel Tower.
