Situated in the heart of Caesars Palace, the Montecristo Cigar Lounge redefines the art of cigar appreciation. Since its launch in 2016, this 4,000-square-foot enclave has become a must-visit destination for aficionados seeking the ultimate pairing of luxury, relaxation, and craftsmanship. Every element is carefully curated, delivering an experience that rivals the grandeur of its iconic Las Vegas address.
At the heart of the lounge lies the Humidor—a 400-square-foot, climate-controlled marvel that houses up to 1,000 premium cigars. Featuring brands like Montecristo, Romeo y Julieta, H. Upmann, and Padrón, the humidor is a treasure trove for discerning smokers. Custom curved glass walls and cedar shelving create a visually striking display, while a retail area offers a range of high-end accessories, including S.T. Dupont.
The lounge itself is an architectural masterpiece. Designed by Bergman, Walls & Associates, its French-inspired décor harmonizes sleek stone finishes with lush green accents, creating an ambiance of modern sophistication. Wood panelling and neutral tones imbue the space with warmth, while a state-of-the-art ventilation system ensures every guest enjoys a pristine environment.
Montecristo’s layout invites exploration, offering four distinct experiences. The Signature Bar is the heart of the lounge, featuring plush seating, bar-top gaming, and a curated menu of spirits. The Library exudes an industrial-luxe charm with its residential aesthetic, making it an ideal spot to savour a cigar over quiet conversation. The Courtyard, with its skylight and verdant design elements, provides an indoor-outdoor feel, while The Vault—a private 10-seat room—caters to intimate gatherings.
For sports enthusiasts, the 208-inch video wall and numerous screens make Montecristo a premier destination to watch the game. Sink into oversized armchairs with a fine cigar in one hand and a top-shelf whisky in the other as the excitement unfolds. The bar boasts an impressive array of spirits, from Yamazaki 18-Year-Old single malt to the elusive Pappy Van Winkle 23-Year-Old bourbon, ensuring the perfect pairing for every palate.
The Clubhouse, a wood-panelled haven within the lounge, offers a bespoke dining experience with selections from Old Homestead Steakhouse. Here, aficionados can enjoy a coursed meal complemented by expertly paired cigars, elevating the tradition of fine dining.
