    Thank you for your interest in Little Caesar's Palace, a Clarrah's Entertainment Group property, located in beautiful Riverview. Whether you're staying with us for a long weekend, are taking advantage of one of our Spa and Stay™ packages, or are looking for a low key getaway to escape the stress of your daily life then you've come to the right place. Please explore this brochure for an overview of what our hotel can offer you that many cannot and how we've come to possess a prime location in Riverview.

    History:
    screenshot_original.jpg

    Little Caesar's Palace became part of our portfolio of properties almost by accident. The politicians of Riverview attempted a revitalization program to help increase tourism in their fine hamlet though not being versed in property acquisition and development, the building they had erected ran out of funding halfway through construction. When Clarrah's Entertainment Group sourced the land, what we found was only the exterior had been finished; seeing a diamond in the rough our company was able to work out a deal with the township in order to acquire the rights and deed. We've poured millions of Simoleons into renovating the exterior alone by adding new stone facade, brickwork and marble imported from France, and landscaping materials with dozens of different exotic species of flowers, shrubs and trees. We've meticulously designed the outside of the property to give our guests the sense they've been transported back in time to ancient Italy while still maintaining the modern luxuries our repeat visitors and VIPs have come to closely associate with CEG hotels and resorts. Please follow the links below to view more photos of our beautiful grounds, including the grand fountain of Poseidon that greets each of our guests as they enter into our oasis of luxury and relaxation and our fully outfitted outdoor pool complete with a custom designed swim-up bar!

    Amenities
    screenshot_original.jpg

    Pictured above are our rooftop loungers, located on the second floor balcony. Little Caesar's Palace has been designed from the group up with our guests needs and wants at the forefront. As such, we have many exciting amenities to offer you ranging from self-guided city tours (for those guests who don't want to feel obligated to spend most of their time on site) to full day spa packages with a chocolate fountain fruit bar delivered directly to your room from our gourmet kitchen. No matter what you enjoy most our hotel has attempted to think of all your needs well in advance of your arrival. We offer vending on the second floor (located directly behind the loungers) if you need a quick snack before heading out to tour Riverview's many distinguished locations. For those looking to relax, Little Caesar's Palace's staff will pamper you from dawn till dusk if you opt for one of our many cost-effective Spa and Stay™ packages. Our indoor Jacuzzi has been painstakingly designed to transport you straight to the bath houses of Shang Simla, while the foliage helps to keep the air fresh inside the enclosure. Our hot tub features poolside drink and bottle service. Sorry, our hot tub is not available for private parties and is available to all guests ages 15 and up; children under 15 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Directly next door to the hot tub is our glass fronted sauna, available to all guests ages 18 and up. The sauna has been custom built exclusively for this property and the plate glass window ensures you feel free and unenclosed while letting the steam relax your sore muscles and open up your pores. Down the hall from the sauna you'll find the changing rooms for our massage therapy services. Our expert masseurs will make you totally forget about your worries as they help you center and find your inner calm. Finally, directly next to our massage tables is our workout room featuring the latest equipment and also includes video game cabinets for our younger guests who (or those not interested in) are unable to take advantage of our on site gambling room. Please browse the photos below to view images of all our guest amenities.

    screenshot_original.jpg

    Little Caesar's Palace is home to some of the worlds more experienced chefs and mixologists. Above is a shot of our world class Cadillac Bar, a place on our property for guests to meet up, hang out, and dance to the latest hit songs in an atmosphere that's laid back and casual. Directly next door to the Cadillac Bar is the Toucan Dining Room where you'll be served up an exquisite buffet, or you may order many other delicacies from our extensive ingredient menu. Simply choose what you find most appealing and our internationally trained staff will create custom plates built just for you. We also offer carry-out services for both the local population of Riverview and our guests who wish to have some time around other visitors to our property but wish to retire to their room to eat their meals in seclusion. We also offer room service for those guests who just want to lounge in our luxuriously equipped guest rooms. Please contact the front desk with any questions or queries regarding our dining options, or to be recommended options around town if you wish to try some of the local hot spots. We kindly request you let the front desk or kitchen know of any food allergies or sensitivities so that we may add them to our database ensuring those foods are never served or included in the preparation of your meals. Also, we do not recommended eating raw or undercooked food as they may contribute to the spread of food borne illness. Any raw or undercooked food that is served to you by your request from any CEG property voids any liability we may have otherwise been obligated to.

    Entertainment
    screenshot_original.jpg

    Clarrah's Entertainment Group strives to be your premier choice in gambling and entertainment options. Our larger hotels in Simlantic City are known for the opulence and cavernous gambling halls. Due to Riverview by-laws Little Caesar's Palace is only currently able to offer our guests ages 21 and up table games and video poker machines; we are currently working closely with the Riverview City Counsel on changing these by-laws so that we may be allowed to offer our guests a wide range of gambling options. For now, please feel free to come to our Regent Casino located on the second floor of the resort. By placing our games on the second floor, we are able to place full sized windows that offer fantastic views of the Riverview countryside while simultaneously eliminating the security concerns that traditional ground floor casino halls face. A cashier is on hand to convert you Simoleons into our virtual currency, Clarrah's Cash, but from there the rest of the process is automated. Each table is hosted by a robotic dealer which is another layer of security for us and for you; automating the dealers has nearly eliminated the need for heightened security in and around the casino floor and cheating is next to impossible without obviously tampering with our equipment. Please be advised that any guest or person on our property who is caught tampering with, or attempting to alter, our automated dealers, cash registers, cash dispensers, or any other hotel equipment will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Our promise to you is games that are fair and fun to play, and it's just as simple as that! The Regent Casino also houses our exclusive Regent Bubble Bar, an exciting new social experience where you'll enjoy great conversation while inhaling different flavored bubbles. For questions or concerns regarding our gambling policies, or to report problems with our automated table dealers or video poker machines, contact the front desk. Any malfunctions void payouts. If you, or someone you know, has a gambling problem call 1-800-GAMBLER.

    Special Events
    screenshot_original.jpg

    Little Caesar's Palace is not only a luxury destination resort, we also have a full event staff who can design and execute your own private wedding at our Venus and Mars Outdoor Chapel (seen above). From song selection to vow writing assistance, from reception menus to room blocks, we stand ready and at attention to help you make your wedding day an absolutely unforgettable time. Our entire staff will help to ensure your big day goes as planned and without any surprises. The entire resort may be booked for particularly large events or just our Roma Honeymoon Suite may be set aside for the couple if they prefer to have their guests arrange their own accommodations, or any combination that suits your needs. We will also help your relatives find a place to stay around town if the need arises. We will register each guest on your party information sheet, allowing them free use of all of our hotel's amenities. We also don't just do weddings either: birthday parties, retirement parties, funeral repass, and many other celebrations can all be hosted by our knowledgeable and skilled sales team. Please contact us via our offical website for pricing information and to book your appointment with a Catering and Events Coordinator. We look forward to serving you and your family and friends so that you can focus on celebrating the best moments of your life!

    Our Promise
    screenshot_original.jpg

    Little Caesar's Palace, and all of our properties under the Clarrah's Entertainment Group, strives to make your stay exquisite, memorable, stress-free, and we hope to meet and exceed all your expectations. Our front desk and lobby, the place where your stay begins and ends, has been designed with you in mind. We offer complimentary coffee in our self-serve bistro, while on the other end of the room we offer a reading nook if you'd rather hang out in the hotel but not necessarily in your room, or while enjoying our other services. Our front desk staff is highly skilled and we hold all of our employees to our demanding standards of professionalism. If you need anything we urge you to contact our front desk; we'll strive to meet your every request no matter how far-fetched you may think they are. The front desk will also coordinate any activities you may wish to partake in either on our grounds or around town. We work intimately with the Riverview Chamber of Commerce to offer a wide array of activities through our partnerships with local business. Housekeeping may also be contacted if your clothes are in need of laundering, a service which is also facilitated through the front desk. The hotel does not guarantee that your articles of clothing will not be damaged by our laundry machines, nor are we liable for any personal property that is lost, stolen, or misplaced. Our basement level laundry room is not open to our guests or the public. Please ask for assistance if you require laundry service. Turn down and room fresh-ups must be requested; please do not leave your Do Not Disturb door hanger up if you need to have your room serviced. Our room attendants take your privacy very seriously and will not enter your room, even with your explicit directions otherwise, as long as the privacy door hanger is left in place. Click the link below for a view of our reading nook located in the main lobby, on the first floor directly next to the Toucan Dining Room. We sincerely hope you've enjoyed this interactive electronic brochure and look forward to having you stay with us.

    Type = Resort
    Lot size = 50x50
    5 pictures = In story
    The Story =
    My name is Gobias and I own Hotel Futuroma which is located a top of a small hill in Sunset Valley. Now I know what you're thinking "Why have such a futuristic hotel in such a small town as Sunset Valley. The style doesn't match at all!" Yes I know but I will tell you why. One time a long long time ago when I was volunteering as a young boy at the science facility we were watching a meteoroid shower when something went horribly wrong. In an unexpected turn of events there was a meteoroid heading straight for our small town. Nobody knew what to do or how to handle the situation. Luckily for us Sunset Valley was underdeveloped at the time and we were able to evacuate everyone from their homes, just in case. Luckily, again, for us the rock hit atop a small uninhabited hill (where not 2 very rich and infamous families live, alongside my resort). Everyone returned home and the scientists got to work analyzing the fallen rock, I was allowed to go along, but as we got closer to the site they realized this was no ordinary meteoroid, this one was very different and it glowed a greenish blue color! It was super bright and vibrant. The most beautiful thing I've ever seen in my life by far! Being so young and only a volunteer I was quickly escorted home, but I continued to watch them investigate the rock from afar, unfortunately not soon after we were all evacuated on account of the fact that they didn't know anything about this new rock and if it would be harmful to the people of Sunset Valley. After a few months they deemed the rock a crystal from a far away planet called Lunar Lakes.
    As the years went on and I grew up research continued on the foreign crystal. We found out so much about it but the main thing was that it was an amazing source of electricity! The energy radiating from it was more powerful than anything we have on earth and can be manipulated to create many different colors of lights. I've had a lot of personal experience with the crystal over the years and learned a lot about it. Unfortunately the crystal was lodged so well in the ground and was so huge that the town decided to leave it where it was and the scientists would chisel away pieces of it giving it a squared off geometric shape.

    Screenshot-19_zpslqfaaoys.jpg

    I know you're wondering what in the world does all of this have to do with the resort. Well being part of the science career we sold many parts/pieces of the crystal to people around the world. Some people are even talking about making the first ever trip to Lunar Lakes to being harvesting these crystals, they are so powerful. So I've made quite a lot of money over the years and made even more money once the last person who was part of the original crew who cited the crystal retired, basically leaving the crystal in my possession. As Sunset Valley begins grow there is an ever growing need for new and improved tourist places. With a new mayor in town promising more tourist attractions. I decided to take the money I have made from the crystal and do something that will show off the many colors and light forms the crystal can have. I really couldn't think of any other way to do this but to build a big museum show casing light. As I thought about this more and how ridiculous it would be to have a building with a bunch of empty rooms with different light colors emitting on the walls, I thought more about what I could put in the rooms to make it more interesting which gave way to my resort idea. A hotel where each room is a different color and a different theme! It was brilliant so I began construction right by the crystal. It was now incased in a glass dome to protect it from the environment and from others trying to steal it. When being mined the crystal can sometimes emit a semi-toxic gas. So with the glass encasement we built a ventilation system that gets rid of the gas and does not affect the people surrounding it or the environment.

    Screenshot-23_zpsbizcf9rc.jpg

    As I mentioned each room in the resort is a different color. The entire resort is powered by the crystal. Now you may be wondering why I went with such a futuristic/modern theme. Well that's easy. The crystal itself created a futuristic source of electricity and with the new mayors plans of a more modern up to the century town I knew that the hotel had to modern but I needed it to be more then modern I needed it to be futuristic! Just as ground breaking (pun intended) as the crystal that made and inspired all of this! Each room is a different color. The rooms on the bottom are mostly just modern and cool looking while the rooms on top are inspired by different places in the world and different cultures. The keys are little neon colored bracelets, with a number on it, that comes out of a glowing rainbow tube. Whichever color you are given that's the color room you are in and whatever number there is that is the floor you are on. The theme around the general parts of the hotel is space, of course, with a touch of robotics. Everything is monochromatic except for the lights which are teal and yellow (the resort logo colors). Even though this is such a futuristic place the technology is still up to date with the rest of the town, even though I wanted to bring in state of the art equipment but the people I hired and those how came to the hotel still had to know and learn how to use it so we kept things simple in that department, but it still looks cool.

    Screenshot-20_zpsg3tuofvd.jpg

    Even though the rec/general quarters seem small and cramped there is still plenty of space and lots of things to do. I wanted to go for a look that would resemble being on a space ship. Small tight rooms but tons of fun and outlandish decor. The crystals on the walls are cut to be decorative but function as a great source of light. The craziest thing about the larger crystal is when it is cut in this fashion, even though it emits light, it emits a regular standard white light.

    Screenshot-21_zpsig9ejiq8.jpg

    The rooms that are alone towards the front of the building are the super high tech rooms with the extremely advanced technology for those who would like to venture into the distant future. All of the other rooms have regular old fashion techenology. this resort is a kid friendly but not pet friendly hotel. There are family rooms as well as single rooms. Each room has its own unique way of showcasing the lights and have a theme that best represents that color. Don't let the bland coloring of the general areas to fool you. Once you get in the rooms there's an explosion of life and color.
