On June 26, 1998, Caesars Atlantic City celebrated the official opening of its new triumphal Porte Cochere, Roman-themed exterior facade, Rotunda restaurant, expanded casino floor, and Bacchus Bar to culminate three years of design and construction. The 120,231 square foot casino, which includes the main casino located on the first floor and the Hippodrome and the Palladium Slot Arena on the second floor, gives Caesars one of the largest contiguous gaming spaces in Atlantic City. Along with these additions, the $280 million expansion project also includes the new 620 guest-room Centurion Tower, the Palladium Ballroom, four meeting rooms, the new Cafe Roma restaurant, and the Temple Lobby.

Gateway to an Empire The exterior approach begins from the Atlantic City expressway where arriving visitors can see the Centurion Tower as a Roman Temple rising in the center of the Atlantic City skyline. As guests approach Missouri Avenue, the new Caesars unfolds directly in front of them, as the patron becomes part of the Caesars domain. Complete with royal statuary and lavish landscaping, all who arrive at Caesars know they have entered into an exquisite Empire.
The lush landscape surrounds the visitor as one moves through the sweeping cobbled entrance plaza, and then passes by the grandly lit Rotunda restaurant, which is encircled with flowering shrubs at the base. The stage is set by the torchieres along Pacific Avenue and the corner fountain featuring a statue of Caesar riding in a four-horse chariot. The new 80-foot high classical Colonnade adorned with 15-foot high statues of Praetorian guards and Senators hovers at the new Pacific Avenue entrance to complete the breathtaking scenery.
Patrons traveling down Pacific Avenue or walking across the bridge from the Transportation Center will notice the heroic scale of the new Temple facade, which appears to hold up the end of the existing bridge and acts as an entrance way into the Temple Lobby.
The stately Pacific Avenue facade showcases windows framed on a grand scale with a procession of towering arches on a heavily rusticated base. Each windowed archway is framed by a pair of Corinthian columns and joined by a balcony. The soft tones of ochre, cream, and white pull the entire complex together.
Porte Cochere
Positioned on the corner of Missouri and Pacific Avenues, the magnificent Porte Cochere welcomes guest into the empire with its granite clad entrance arch, officious windowed facade and balcony with decorative urns. The Porte Cochere captivates the attention of each on-looker with its luminous decorative vaulted ceiling, Venetian yellow granite clad walls, custom alabaster and gilded stones.
At the Porte Cochere, guests can immediately begin enjoying their royal visit to Caesars by taking advantage of the friendly, convenient valet service. Visitors can enter the Porte Cochere from Missouri Avenue and leave their vehicles at the large paved drop off area. They will then enter the elegant vestibule highlighted with tones of gold and silver. At the conclusion of their trip to the Empire, customers will exit onto Arkansas Avenue.
