In 1962, cabana motel owners Jay Sarno and Stanley Mallin received a $10.6 million{{cite web|url=http://www.casinotop10.net/caesars-palace-casino|title=Caesars Palace|publisher=Casinotop10.net|access-date=December 4, 2015|archive-date=December 27, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161227225645/http://www.casinotop10.net/caesars-palace-casino|url-status=live}} loan from the Teamsters Central States Pension Fund. They began plans to build a hotel on land owned by Kirk Kerkorian.{{sfn|Vanderwilt|2007|p=107}} Sarno would later act as designer of the hotel he planned to construct. His vision was to emulate life under the Roman Empire. The objective of the palace was to ensure an atmosphere in which everybody staying at the hotel would feel like a Caesar;{{sfn|Land|Land|2004|p=159}} this is why the name "Caesars Palace" lacks an apostrophe, making "Caesars" a plural instead of possessive noun.{{cite news|last1=Chapman|first1=Sabrina|title=The Missing Apostrophe cocktail is inspired by Caesars Palace lore|url=https://lasvegasweekly.com/nightlife/cocktail/2014/mar/04/missing-apostrophe-cocktail-inspired-caesars-palac/|access-date=13 March 2018|work=Las Vegas Weekly|date=March 4, 2014|archive-date=March 14, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180314181455/https://lasvegasweekly.com/nightlife/cocktail/2014/mar/04/missing-apostrophe-cocktail-inspired-caesars-palac/|url-status=live}} Caesars Palace was instrumental in beginning a new era of lavish casinos from the late 1960s onward.{{sfn|Schwartz|2013|p=133}} The original hotel was designed by architect Melvin Grossman (1914–2003), who had worked primarily in Miami. The design of Caesars borrowed heavily from his earlier Cabaña Hotel (1962) in Palo Alto. Architectural writer, Alan Hess, stated: "Caesars Palace needed only a sumptuous array of Classical statuary and a host of marble-white columns to establish its theme. The visitor's imagination, in league with well-placed publicity, filled in the opulence".{{Sfn|Hess|1993|p=84}} Jefferson Graham wrote that the result was "the gaudiest, weirdest, most elaborate, and most talked about resort Vegas had ever seen. [Its] emblem was a chesty female dipping grapes into the waiting mouth of a recumbent Roman, fitted out in toga, laurel wreath, and phallic dagger".{{sfn|Land|Land|2004|p=159}}

The inauguration ceremony was held on August 5, 1966. Sarno and his partner, Nate Jacobsen, spent one million dollars on the event. The cost included "the largest order of Ukrainian caviar ever placed by a private organization", two tons of filet mignon, {{convert|300|lb}} of Maryland crabmeat and 50,000 glasses of champagne.{{sfn|Land|Land|2004|p=160}}{{sfn|Joshel|Malamud|McGuire|2005|p=249}} Cocktail waitresses in Greco-Roman wigs would greet guests and say "Welcome to Caesars Palace, I am your slave".{{sfn|Land|Land|2004|p=160}} Among the performers at the opening were Andy Williams and Phil Richards. According to author Ovid Demaris, Caesars Palace was "a mob-controlled casino from the day it opened its doors". By the time it opened, the significant publicity of the new hotel had generated $42 million in advanced bookings.{{sfn|Land|Land|2004|p=160}}

On December 31, 1967, stunt performer Evel Knievel arrived at the hotel to watch a boxing match and convinced Sarno that he could jump over the distance of {{convert|140|ft}} over the fountains. ABC came in to film the jump, in which Knievel hit the top of the safety ramp after the jump and flew over his handlebars into the parking lot of neighbouring Dunes. Fracturing his pelvis, several bones and suffering a concussion, he lay in a hospital unconscious for 29 days in a coma before recovering.{{sfn|Papa|2009|p=92}} On April 14, 1989, Knievel's son Robbie successfully completed the jump.{{sfn|Gordon|2015|p=18}}

The first casino at the hotel was named Circus Circus. It was intended to be the world's liveliest and most expensive casino, attracting elite gamblers from around the world.{{Sfn|Land|Land|2004|p=162}} In 1969, a Federal Organized Crime Task Force accused the casino's financial manager, Jerome Zarowitz, of having ties with organized-crime figures in New York and New England.{{sfn|Earley|2000|p=66}} Although Zarowitz was never tried, the task force pressured Sarno and his other investors to sell the casino, which led to it being acquired by Lum's restaurant chain owners Stuart and Clifford S. Perlman for $60 million.{{cite news|title=Getting a N.J. gambling license is not easy|newspaper=Montreal Gazette|first=Ellen|last=Karasik|agency=Philadelphia Inquirer|date=April 28, 1979|access-date=December 4, 2015|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ZJcuAAAAIBAJ&pg=7078%2C676810|archive-date=February 2, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220202010318/https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=ZJcuAAAAIBAJ&pg=7078,676810|url-status=live}} The company soon shed its restaurant operations and changed its name to Caesars World.{{cite news|title=Caesars Earns Niche in Gaming Pantheon|newspaper=Casino City Times|agency=Gaming Wire|first=Chris|last=Jones|date=July 21, 2004|access-date=December 4, 2015|url=http://www.casinocitytimes.com/article/caesars-earns-niche-in-gaming-pantheon-54341|archive-date=October 6, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131006113031/http://www.casinocitytimes.com/article/caesars-earns-niche-in-gaming-pantheon-54341|url-status=live}} On July 15 of that year, executives lay ground on an expansion area of the hotel, and they buried a time capsule in the area.{{cite news|author=Browning, Norma Lee|url=http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1969/07/21/page/43/article/hollywood-today|title=Hollywood Today|newspaper=Chicago Tribune|page=7|date=July 21, 1969|access-date=December 4, 2015|archive-date=December 23, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151223055456/http://archives.chicagotribune.com/1969/07/21/page/43/article/hollywood-today/|url-status=live}}

Witnesses to the incident said the two men both made threats, with Waterman producing a gun and pointing it at Sinatra. Sinatra walked out of the casino and returned to his Palm Springs home without fulfilling the rest of his three-week engagement there. Waterman was booked on a charge of assault with a deadly weapon, but was released without bail.{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/3360441/sinatra_confrontation_at_caesars_2/|title=Caesars Palace Boss Arrested for Pulling Gun on Sinatra|work=The Evening Times (Sayre, Pennsylvania)|date=September 8, 1970|page=5|access-date=October 6, 2015|via=Newspapers.com|archive-date=October 6, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151006185830/http://www.newspapers.com/clip/3360441/sinatra_confrontation_at_caesars_2/|url-status=live}} {{Open access}} The local district attorney's office declined to file charges against Waterman for pulling the gun, stating that Sinatra had refused to make a statement regarding the incident.{{cite news|url=https://www.newspapers.com/clip/3360451/sinatra_confrontation_at_caesars/|title=No Charges Will be Filed in Sinatra Gun Incident|work=The Bridgeport Telegram (Bridgeport, Connecticut)|date=September 17, 1970|page=45|access-date=October 6, 2015|via=Newspapers.com|archive-date=October 6, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151006181635/http://www.newspapers.com/clip/3360451/sinatra_confrontation_at_caesars/|url-status=live}} {{Open access}} Despite swearing to never perform at Caesars again,{{sfn|Kelley|1986|p=436}} Sinatra returned after his retirement in January 1974, and became a frequent performer at Caesars Palace throughout the decade.

In 1971, some 1,500 black American rights activists stormed the hotel in a protest. The National Welfare Rights Organization was involved with a "coalition of welfare mothers, Legal Services lawyers, radical priests and nuns, civil rights leaders, movie stars and housewives".{{sfn|Orleck|2005|p=1}} Five years later in the spring of 1976, hundreds of black American workers went on strike at the hotel in the first major strike in Las Vegas history. The entrances to the hotel and casino were blocked, and the hotel lost several million dollars from the strike, including one cancellation worth $500,000.{{sfn|Orleck|2005|p=245}} In 1973, the Del Webb corporation was contracted to build a $8 million 16-story building adjacent to the Palace.{{cite book|title=Volume Feeding Institutions|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TA7jAAAAMAAJ|year=1973|publisher=Cahners.|page=27}}

In 1979, a section of two and three-story hotel buildings were demolished, making room for an Omnimax theater (1979–2000), accommodated in a purpose-built geodesic dome at what is currently the site of the Colosseum Theater. A people mover was also constructed in 1979.

In the 1990s, the hotel's management sought to create more elaborate features to compete with the other modern Las Vegas developments.

A version of the casino called Caligula's Palace is featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, where it is located in Las Venturas (the game's equivalent of Las Vegas) and is the subject of one of the game's storylines where the player prepares for and pulls off a heist on the casino.
