Lisa Vanderpump horror as her future Vegas hotel catches on FIRE in wild incident
A representative for Caesars Entertainment revealed a blaze in the parking lot of The Cromwell - the boutique lodging being turned into The Vanderpump Hotel - was 'quickly extinguished' on Friday.
No injuries were reported, and several guest rooms were 'briefly evacuated' out of 'an abundance of caution', Senior Director of Public Relations Kala B. Peterson told DailyMail.com.
'Early this morning, a fire broke out inside the parking garage at The Cromwell. It was quickly extinguished, and there were no reported injuries. Out of an abundance of caution, some guest rooms were briefly evacuated,' Peterson said.
'At this time, all operations have returned to normal. We would like to thank the Clark County Fire Department for its swift response.'
Video of the incident was captured by X user @iSeeCyrus, with a clip showing smoke billowing out of the front of the hotel. The fire department could also be seen on the scene.
It is not known exactly how the fire was sparked.
'#Cromwell is on fire! I guess Vanderpump wanted to start the renovations early ...#Vegas #LasVegas,' @iSeeCyrus captioned the post on July 4th.
Lisa announced plans to transform The Cromwell into The Vanderpump Hotel back in March, marking her latest establishment in Sin City but her first-ever hotel.
'I am thrilled to once again be partnering with Caesars Entertainment, this time to venture into the hotel business,' Lisa said in a press release at the time.
'What an extraordinary opportunity to develop this iconic location into something unique, playful and upscale. Hospitality has always been our passion, and our mission is to create something sumptuous with a unique atmosphere.
'Our successful history has always been based on the individuality of the location. Through my design company, Vanderpump Alain, with my partner Nick Alain, we can't wait to breathe new life into this property and make it something truly magical.'
The Cromwell's transformation into The Vanderpump Hotel will begin early next year, with the hotel's 188 guest rooms and suites set to undergo a redesign.
The hotel reception and front desk area will also receive an upgrade, and a brand new lounge will be constructed as well.
'The design will feature signature Vanderpump Alain furnishings and lighting fixtures and, as always with Vanderpump projects, everything will be bespoke and created specifically for the location,' the press release stated. 'As a hotel, there will be an emphasis on sexy elegance and comfort, with gorgeous rooms and a fresh, new feel to the casino floor. Vanderpump will also hand-select the amenities for hotel guests.'
The Cromwell will remain in operation as becomes renovated into The Vanderpump Hotel, and the transformation is set to be finished by early 2026.
It will be the newest member of Lisa's Las Vegas hospitality family, with the Bravolebrity also having other restaurants and bars at other legendary hotels.
Lisa owns numerous eateries, perhaps most famously in West Hollywood, with the staff of her restaurants starring in their very own reality show, Vanderpump Rules.
For 11 seasons, the show followed the waiters and bartenders working at her various restaurants, with Ariana Madix, Tom Sandoval, James Kennedy, Tom Schwartz, Katie Maloney, Kristen Doute, Stassi Schroeder, Jax Taylor, Brittany Cartwright, Scheana Shay, and Lala Kent allowing cameras to follow their lives.
Late last year in November, it was announced that the show would be getting an entirely new cast for it's upcoming 12th season - with only Lisa Vanderpump returning.

Julianne Hough sells Hollywood Hills home after slashing price by nearly $2MILLION
Julianne Hough has finally sold her Hollywood Hills home but not until she slashed the price by a considerable amount. The 36-year-old Dancing With The Stars personality officially sold her property in the Los Angeles celebrity enclave for $6.35million. However, it wasn't exactly the return she had expected initially as she originally listed the home for $7.95million back in April. The three bedroom, four bathroom home features 3,000-square-feet of living space. No doubt the new owner will have plenty of room on the property as it sits on nearly half an acre of land. The home itself was built during Hollywood's heyday in the late 1930s as it was recently renovated by celeb-favorite designer Jake Arnold. The 36-year-old Dancing With The Stars personality officially sold her property in the Los Angeles celebrity enclave for $6.35million The interior of the home is bright as the living room has floor-to-ceiling windows to feel a connection to the outdoors. As if that wasn't enough melding between the inside and outside the dining area and kitchen which leads to a covered terrace which is perfect for hosting. It also features a large swimming pool for those hot California summer months. Perhaps the most stunning feature on the property are the lush gardens as the landscaping was done by Trilling Landscape. And no doubt the owners will be enjoying the 'sanctuary' that is the primary suite as it includes a luxurious bathroom and a private patio. Brandon Piller and Joey Ben-Zvi of The Agency held the listing. Back in 2016, Julianne talked about working with designer Jake as she revealed the property represents a safe space for herself. She said at the time: 'My life is instant. I'm always on the go, and I travel a lot. The interior of the home is bright as the living room has floor-to-ceiling windows to feel a connection to the outdoors 'So to balance it all, I've created a safe, special place where I feel like my true self.' Julianne had previously lived in the home with her now ex-husband and former NHL player Brooks Laich. The exes were first romantically linked in 2013, married in Idaho in summer 2017, and were divorced by 2022. After the divorce Julianne moved on with a new home in New York City. Julianne currently co- hosts Dancing With The Stars alongside Alfonso Ribeiro. The 34th season of the popular reality competition series is set to begin on September 16 as the confirmed celebrity contestants include Jenn Affleck, Alix Earle, Robert Irwin, and Whitney Leavitt so far.

‘Love is the key, right?' Evergreen Venus Williams plays on and on at 45
'Still haven't seen the Rolling Stones,' says Venus Williams, smiling, as she reminisced about her unforgettable professional tennis debut at the age of 14 in Oakland, California, an occasion that justified years of hype surrounding her stratospheric potential. Her first ever professional tennis match took place next door to a Rolling Stones concert. Now, 31 years later, at 45 years old, Williams is still here. Three weeks after returning to professional tennis for the first time in 16 months with a straight sets singles victory over the then world No 35 Peyton Stearns at the Citi Open in Washington, which marked her as the second-oldest woman in history to win a WTA Tour-level singles match and also silenced criticisms about her enduring presence on the tour, Williams now takes her comeback to the Cincinnati Open. Once one of the most precocious youngsters of her time, a US Open finalist by the age of 17, Williams continues to compete. She is one of the greatest tennis players of all time in her own right, a seven-time singles grand slam champion, Olympic gold medallist and former No 1 in singles. Despite all she has achieved, her enduring love for her sport means she continues to step on the practice court every day with the aim of being the best player she can be. 'Love is the key, right?' says Williams. 'If you don't love it, then get out of it. If you can, if you have that luxury, not everyone has that luxury. For me, I think a lot of the motivation for me is just to come back and try to play in the best health that I can. 'I never stopped hitting the ball, even when I was away, not as intensely as you would if you were playing tournaments, but I was still going out there. And I think that at the end of the day, you have to live your life on your own terms. Your terms should be yours. Doesn't matter what anyone else says or what anyone else thinks, if you get to live life on your own terms of life, [do] that. And I firmly believe in that.' This comeback, however, is not merely about striking a tennis ball. Last month, Williams revealed she has suffered with fibroids for years, non-cancerous tumours that develop in and around the uterus, which left her with excruciating symptoms including pelvic pain and heavy bleeding. In addition to the significant impact fibroids has had on Williams' everyday life, it also affected her tennis career. She says she had been misdiagnosed for years. Last week, in the aftermath of her returning in Washington, Williams posted a series of videos from exactly a year ago when she was undergoing an open myomectomy surgery to remove the fibroids and a large focal adenomyoma in her uterus, tissue from the lining of the uterus that had grown in her uterine wall. 'I was told I was inoperable,' she wrote. 'I was told I could bleed to death on the table. I was told to get a surrogate and forget the hope to carry my own children. I was misdiagnosed. I went untreated for years and years and years.' As she has returned to the court, Williams has used the publicity around her return to shine a light on women's medical issues. 'I just remember after my surgery, I was feeling so much gratitude but I was able to have the resources to finally get through that, and I remember that was the biggest feeling that I had. And at that point, I was nowhere near playing professional tennis, but now a year later, I'm in a completely different space, and I have a clean bill of health, thank God, and I'm ready to play and compete.' The next competitive challenge for Williams will be the 22-year-old world No 51 Jéssica Bouzas Maneiro. On the day Bouzas Maneiro was born, 24 September 2002, Williams had already won four grand slam singles titles, reached No 1 and contested the previous three consecutive major finals against her younger sister, Serena. The elder Williams sibling said the US swing was the focus for her return and she is unlikely to compete after the US Open. The rest is unknown. 'I'm very much in the moment,' she said. 'I don't think you should ever rule me out. That's all I can say.'
