Map of Forum Shops
The Forum Shops at Caesars will unveil another Vegas-styled ode to Roman history later this week when Fendi opens a new store featuring a re-creation of the Pantheon’s famous dome.
The high-end Italian luxury designer is scheduled to open its new store Friday, and it will be the brand’s second storefront in the Forum Shops, a news release from Fendi said. The location will allow Fendi to add men’s accessories and casual wears to its offerings, as well as expand its selection of women’s shoes and accessories at the Forum Shops.
It will also feature a stand-alone Shoe Salon boutique, the first in the United States, according to Fendi.
The new store’s ceiling has been designed as an homage to the Roman Pantheon and was constructed in Italy before being shipped to Las Vegas. Its oculus, like the one in the original Pantheon, is specifically engineered to allow light to move through it as the earth rotates. The iconic, coffered ceiling set within the symmetrical dome will be complemented by red, silver and gold walls and lave stone floors throughout the store, Fendi officials said in the news release.
