It's a nice enough place but VERY expensive. You can certainly find some hard-to-find Fuente cigars there as well as some expensive branded accessories.

The "patio" is a nice place to sit and people-watch as you smoke a cigar.

Very nice place. A little pricey. Plan on getting yourself an Opus, $25 minimum for the cigar. They have the best mojito ever. I think they run @ $6, but don't quote me.

I will have to see how their mojito stacks up against the one I had at Morton's in Phx last summer. It is the best one I have had so far.

A great mojito and a great cigar, I am looking forward to it.

They have everything Ashton and Fuente there but yes you are on the strip, in the Forum Shops at Caesar's, so you will be paying a premium for your cigar. The drinks, particularly their mojitos are fantastics and run $9 i think. If you go on the weekday, they do have happy hour specials. I make it a point to visit Casa Fuente when I head out to vegas. Waitresses are smokin too!

It's a great place, right in the fantastic Forum shops connected to Caesars Palace Hotel. I was there in early December.

Most locals stay away from Case Fuente due to sky high prices on everything in the store. IMO it's too small and cramped, plus the seats are horrible to sit in for any length of time. The selection is top notch and the wait staff is fantastic too! So if you don't mind the $30 OpusX and a $9 rum & coke, knock yourself out.

It's one of those "been there done that" experiences I guess.

very nice place.. great selection.. although a but pricey (as everyone mentioned)... 75$ for an Opux X chili pepper and 50$ for a glass of Fuente Clavados (cigar in a bottle)..

waitress is super hot.... at leat the one that was there laast time I went...

seating isn't very confortable, but the fact that it is one of the few places you can smoke in Vegas, makes it OK..

over-al, I'd recommend you go there.... it's a good experience..

Great atmosphere, great drinks, good service, and excellent cigars! What else could you want?

Also, one reason for the high prices, is that high Nevada taxes are already built into the retail price you pay for the cigar...

Enjoy life! Just go! You'll have a great time and after a Mojito (or three), you won't feel any sting from the price of cigars!

The Casa Fuente cigars are very good too, and only available there. About $14 each. They may eventually lose the ability to smoke on the indoor mall patio, so enjoy it if you can.

When I was there last October, a few people on the escalators near the store frowned as looked down on the cigar smokers.

If I go to Casa Fuente, the only thing I'm getting are those Casa Fuente Cigars that are only sold at the Las Vegas shop.

Good point. Just about everything else they sell there is available somewhere else. It may be hard to find, but it is available. That being said, I not only purchased a box of Casa Fuente #2's while I was there, I also picked up a single God of Fire to smoke... I guess I got caught up in the moment.
