Renowned TV personality and businesswoman, Lisa Vanderpump, faced a fiery situation at her soon-to-be-opened hotel in Las Vegas recently. As reported by PEOPLE, a fire broke out at The Cromwell, the future site of The Vanderpump Hotel, on July 4. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported, and the fire was swiftly extinguished.
The dramatic event was captured on video, showing smoke billowing out of the property located at the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road. The incident caused quite a stir, with fire alarms blaring and sirens wailing in the background. Pinky’s, a restaurant owned by Vanderpump and situated next to the hotel, was also visible in the footage amidst the chaos.
A spokesperson for Caesars Entertainment, the company overseeing the project, reassured the public that the fire did not cause any damage to the main property. They confirmed that the fire started in the parking garage of The Cromwell but was quickly contained. As a precautionary measure, some guest rooms were briefly evacuated, but normal operations resumed shortly after.
The Cromwell, where the incident occurred, remains open to the public as it undergoes the transformation into The Vanderpump Hotel. Lisa Vanderpump, known for her successful ventures in the hospitality industry, shared her excitement for the grand opening of the new hotel, scheduled for early 2026.
In a previous interview with PEOPLE, Vanderpump expressed her passion for the project and her gratitude for the creative freedom given by Caesars Entertainment. The hotel, designed in collaboration with Nick Alain, promises an opulent experience with 188 rooms, including 19 luxury suites, all embodying what Vanderpump describes as “attainable luxury”.
The incident has not deterred Vanderpump’s enthusiasm for her latest venture, which adds to her existing portfolio of successful establishments in Las Vegas. Despite the temporary setback, the team is dedicated to realising Vanderpump’s vision for a unique and luxurious hotel experience on the iconic Las Vegas Strip.
With the hotel’s opening on the horizon, fans and industry watchers eagerly anticipate the unveiling of The Vanderpump Hotel and its distinctive blend of elegance, comfort, and Vanderpump’s signature style. The fire incident serves as a reminder of the challenges involved in such ambitious projects but also highlights the resilience and professionalism of those involved in bringing the vision to life.
As the excitement builds towards the grand opening in 2026, Lisa Vanderpump remains focused on delivering a memorable and luxurious experience for visitors to The Vanderpump Hotel. The incident, though concerning, is just a footnote in the larger story of Vanderpump’s continued success in the hospitality and entertainment industry.
