The transformation of the former Harrah’s Casino into a Caesars property has been a giant construction project, marked by a new hotel tower rising above it and new restaurants from big-name chefs within. Right in the midst of it all, though, Caesars has also been quietly cooking up a big surprise.

Octavia is the name for a new lounge inside the casino, one conceived on a sweeping scale and with an elegant Art Deco-inspired design. It’s a massive new addition to the casino taking shape just behind temporary walls, even as gaming goes on 24/7 just a dice roll away.

Octavia is set to debut in mid-August.
