Caesars Entertainment, the global brand that owns all the Caesars properties, recently dived into the world of wellness. The brand showcased its new commitment to wellness through a global wellness forum in 2024, followed by a fantastic and successful wellness roadshow, which comprised immersive learning sessions and activities for mind, body, and soul. The new Caesar wellness center will now allow meeting planners and event producers planning events at Caesars properties to design programs and activities with wellness options.
Whether it’s design elements and venue selection, merchandise and gifts, activities, and even food and beverage options, Caesars Entertainment aims to redefine experiences at its properties, making them memorable and meaningful, with the plans being drawn up first for Caesars’ ever-popular Las Vegas properties. Here’s a detailed guide to what Caesars new wellness offerings entail and how you can plan a well-rounded wellness retreat for your attendees at a Caesars property.
All About Caesar 2.0: The Wellness
Delicious and yet nutritious food that includes everything from gluten-free to vegan and everything in between. Immersive learning sessions, mindfulness activities, and physical excursions for the mind, body, and soul and get you moving. Daily letters and attendee badges printed on wildflower seed-embedded handmade paper for planting and recycling. This is just a snapshot of what wellness means at Caesars properties under its new wellness program.
Meetings and off-sites needn’t be all about boardrooms and banquets — at least not just that. The idea is to breathe wellness into all onsite experiences, making them as fun as they will be immersive. Think inspirational wellness excursions like river rafting, hiking, and yin yoga, and even aura readings, aromatherapy, and more. The idea is to motivate attendees to come to the conference early and actually enjoy it rather than seeing it as something that’s necessary and a check on their calendars. Adding tasty yet healthy meal selections to the roster is an inspiring touch that highlights the brand’s intentions to promote not just physical and mental but also spiritual health.

Stimulating The Mind
Wellness isn’t limited to physical activities; it includes wellness of the mind as well, as we know now. Caesars has understood the importance of harnessing the power of being mindful and has included activities in their wellness catering menu to that effect. The menu offers private sessions for aura and chakra reading (10-15 minutes each), which checks one’s current mind, body, and spirit balance as well as the condition of one’s chakras. Additionally, one also receives guidance on how to improve them.
Not just that, but also the brand is promoting fun and custom-tailored wellness challenges in collaboration with Heka Health. The idea is to gamify engagement with a wide range of wellness activities for the mind (meditation and gratitude journaling), body (on-demand workout classes and activity tracking), and the soul (fundraising, social connections, and teams).
If that wasn’t enough, they have offbeat activities on offer too, such as animal therapy and scentscaping. Animal therapy includes activities such as goat yoga, a petting zoo, and even playing with puppies in a puppy lounge! Not only that, but they also include a full-service scentscaping solution, which includes not only consultation for fragrances but also scent strategies and onsite implementation and installation. Oh, and did we mention paint therapy? Ooof!

Get Moving With Physical Activities
One of the biggest inclusions on Caesar Entertainment’s wellness catering menu is physical excursions that will get you moving and how. Classes on offer include not just yoga classes but also Tai Chi and Vibration classes, which aim at bettering muscular strength and the overall quality of life. What’s more, they plan to include guided outdoor hikes, which will certainly appeal to the outdoorspeople of the group. Here, experienced hiking leaders will lead the group through the beauty of Vegas’ Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area (since these plans were drawn up first for Vegas properties). It aims to not only improve your mental state of mind but also build muscle and improve heart health. Finally, the activities also aim to include organized runs and walks (friendly or for fundraising).
Did we mention that they also plan to include EFT Tapping (Emotion Freedom Techniques)? It’s a mind-body method of tapping acupoints on the body, face, and hands with one’s fingertips while focusing on issues one is hoping to resolve, and which promises to greatly improve performance and reduce anxiety and stress.

Wellness Events And Speakers
Wellness also needs direction, which is why one of the highlights of Caesar Entertainment’s wellness catering menu is inviting wellness speakers to speak at events. For instance, the brand has invited wellness speakers such as Scentex’s Goodyear, Cardinale of Event Minds Matter, and Body & Brain’s Dami Kim to help guide groups towards a healthier mindset. In fact, the brand even hosted Global Wellness Day in June 2024 to introduce meeting professionals to its wellness focus. The event included not only sessions by wellness speakers, but also other wellness activities such as yoga, meditation, hiking, and even educational sessions.

Healthy Food Offerings
No wellness focus is complete without food, is it? Caesars’ wellness catering menu is called the catering menu because of the sheer range of healthy food offerings it has drawn up for group events — and even individuals who desire it. These range from healthy breakfasts to breaks that won’t just provide a caffeine and sugar jolt, but will rather energize attendees. Think classic mid-morning muffins and fruit, beating the midday hunger blues with trail mix and Greek yogurt, and even includes spa rejuvenation breaks with fresh vegetables. Heck, there’s even a mocktail beverage break and avocado toast break on offer, which certainly beats sandwiches and black coffee for powering through the conference.
If that wasn’t enough, the wellness menu also includes buffet and plated luncheon options, hors d’oeuvres, high tea, and reception options, as well as plated dinners that sound both delicious and healthy. The best bit? There are options available for everyone, including gluten-free fare, halal food, kosher meals, nut-free options, dairy-free stuff, and vegan menus.
What also helps is that the wellness activities include a “Nutrition for Mental Health” session, where attendees are told about how the food they eat directly affects their mental health and wellness. Gaining this knowledge is certainly important to help people make better and healthier choices to live with more energy and vitality.

R&R
No wellness program is complete without some good ol’ R&R and rejuvenation, is it? Caesars doesn’t leave that behind either, incorporating a whole menu of mini-massages in their wellness and catering menu. These 10-minute mini-massages aim to increase the oxygenation of cells via improved blood flow, promoting increased flexibility and better circulation. Not just that, but they also offer IV Treatments, either a full station or a shot bar. They provide your body with amino acids, minerals, and vitamins, giving it a boost and balancing the natural detoxification process.
An interesting addition to the Caesar wellness menu is the Somatic Breathwork + Tea Ceremony, a transformative experience that features intentional breathwork practices for a journey of inner peace and self-discovery. It fosters a purpose-driven and conscious connection between the mind, body, and the Earth, and is a deeply spiritual R&R exercise that is sure to leave an impact on your attendees.
And, of course, no R&R session is complete without a visit to the spa, is it?
