Following the highly anticipated May 2026 rebranding of the property (formerly The Cromwell), the Vanderpump Hotel has established itself as a premier boutique destination on the Las Vegas Strip. Anchoring the second floor of this boutique property is GIADA, the flagship restaurant from celebrity chef Giada De Laurentiis.

Known for its bright California-Italian cuisine and prime location at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road, Giada is the definitive venue for Tech, Media, and Corporate delegations requiring a design-forward, high-energy atmosphere. Perched above the Strip, the restaurant’s defining architectural feature—retractable, floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows—delivers a direct, front-row view of the iconic Bellagio Fountains and Caesars Palace, providing a built-in “wow factor” essential for closing high-stakes deals and hosting memorable VIP banquets.

Here is the executive logistical briefing on Giada’s private dining rooms, official food and beverage minimums, and venue buyout parameters.

Tactical Venue Intelligence: Room Layouts & Acoustic Separation

Tuscany Room (Confidential Boardroom): Fully enclosed private dining room seating up to 20 guests. Features warm natural light and dedicated audiovisual staging capabilities, ideal for sensitive financial discussions and executive leadership retreats.
Wine Cellar (Mid-Sized Private Dining): Surrounded by Giada’s extensive, award-winning wine collection (Wine Spectator 2019 Best of Award of Excellence). Seats up to 33 guests in an elegant, enclosed environment.
Combined Tuscany & Wine Cellar Suite: For larger private delegations (up to 53 seated guests), the dividing wall between Tuscany and Wine Cellar can be opened to create a unified private wing with a flat $7,000 F&B minimum (~ $132 per person).
Champagne Room (Semiprivate): Accommodates up to 32 seated guests with a $3,000 F&B minimum. Note that this room is semiprivate, making it ideal for lively team celebrations and post-expo cocktail mixers rather than confidential presentations.
Main Dining Room Block: Groups of up to 18 guests can reserve non-exclusive space in the vibrant main dining room at $125.00 per person, perfect for departmental celebrations without committing to a full room minimum.

Giada’s culinary program balances authentic Roman heritage with light, fresh California sensibilities. The menu is refined, approachable, and universally appreciated across diverse corporate delegations:

Signature Entrées & Pastas: Highlighting Giada’s world-famous Lemon Spaghetti, Marsala herb chicken meatballs, and housemade artisanal pastas.
Award-Winning Wine Program: An extensive, sommelier-curated cellar recognized with Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence, ensuring sophisticated pairings for high-level client dining.
Frictionless Dietary Execution: Unlike many traditional Italian venues, Giada specializes in dietary customization, offering handcrafted gluten-free pasta, vegan entrées, and dairy-free preparations directly from the kitchen without advance friction.

Executive Arrival & Exit Logistics

Navigating crowded casino resorts is a major drain on executive time. Booking at Giada eliminates this friction entirely:

The Boutique Footprint: The Vanderpump Hotel’s compact boutique footprint means VIPs avoid massive casino floors. The transition from the hotel valet directly to the restaurant’s private elevator bank takes less than 2 minutes.
Convention Corridor Positioning: Situated directly at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road, Giada provides seamless connectivity to both Caesars Forum (5 minutes) and Venetian Expo (7 minutes).
VIP Exit Strategy: Arrange for your Executive Black Car to stage at The Vanderpump Hotel Valet 10 minutes before dinner concludes. Your guests can take the elevator down and step directly into their awaiting vehicle with zero casino cross-traffic.
