Capitalizing on the viral TikTok crisps and caviar craze that’s seen everyone from the Real Housewives to first-class passengers getting in on the trend, a new Caesars Palace lounge is serving a can of original Pringles with Kaluga caviar.
That’s just one quirky caveat of Caspian’s Cocktails & Caviar. It’s a relatively small front-facing 50-seat caviar lounge with an action-packed 2,300-square-foot live music speakeasy hidden behind a painting of a bearded ship captain. The speakeasy space, which was formerly Cleopatra’s Lounge, is a vibrant and comfortable room with bold-colored couches and booths under a 16-foot-high ceiling with a massive chandelier.
As its tagline suggests, Caspian’s will be known for “rock & roe.” That means live music most nights (Tuesday through Saturday) and Caviar Karaoke on Thursday when guests can belt out their favorite tunes backed to live music from the Busker Kings.
When it comes to the menu, Caspian’s is a full-on caviar experience. There’s typical caviar service and then several bites. In addition to Pringles, guests can order caviar-topped deviled eggs, waffles, latkes and oysters, along with buttery mini lobster rolls and crunchy corn tacos filled with blue crab and, of course, Kaluga caviar.
Caspian’s also offers a number of innovative craft cocktails such as a bourbon and fig concoction as well as a couple over-the-top cocktail and caviar pairings. “Caspian’s Royal Flight” is a six-shot vodka sample accompanied with a one-ounce tin of Imperial Golden Osetra caviar, or you could go big with “The Full Boat” which comes with 20 ounces of Imperial Golden Osetra caviar and a bottle of Dom Pérignon.
Caspian’s Cocktails & Caviar is open daily from 11am to 2am with the kitchen closing at 10pm. The speakeasy is open Tuesday and Wednesday from 8pm to 2am and Thursday through Saturday from 7pm to 2am.
