Caesars Palace has the largest square footage of any hotel on the strip. Since it will take approximately 10 minutes alone to get from the front door to your classroom, we highly recommend staying inside of the hotel. We also highly recommend you book early since most likely we will not be able to guarantee our special group rate after the deadline. Most guest rooms at Caesars Palace are very close to the meeting space and you don't even need to walk through the casino.
