Lisa Vanderpump to open second restaurant at Caesars Republic Scottsdale

(PRESS RELEASE) -- Renowned restaurateur, television star, and philanthropist Lisa Vanderpump is bringing her signature glamour and elevated dining experience to the heart of Scottsdale with the opening of Wolf by Vanderpump at Caesars Republic Scottsdale, a Hilton hotel. Developed in partnership with nationally recognized real estate and hospitality firm HCW, the new concept marks the second Wolf by Vanderpump location, following the brand’s successful debut in April 2024 at Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe—formerly Harveys—Scottsdale’s sister property.

Located on the 7th floor of Caesars Republic Scottsdale, the 6,500-square-foot restaurant will offer a dramatic and immersive atmosphere with opulent design elements, creative cocktails, and a globally inspired menu—all framed by stunning panoramic views of Camelback Mountain. Construction is set to begin on July 7, 2025, with the grand opening anticipated for Winter 2025. The new destination is poised to become a cornerstone of Scottsdale’s vibrant culinary and social scene.

“We are thrilled to partner with Lisa Vanderpump to bring Wolf by Vanderpump to the rooftop of Caesars Republic Scottsdale,” said Rick Huffman, President & CEO of HCW. “Lisa has an incredible eye for design, hospitality, and creating unforgettable guest experiences. This addition, combined with the unparalleled views of Camelback Mountain, will transform the 7th floor into one of the most desirable and dynamic dining destinations in Scottsdale.”

The Wolf by Vanderpump concept ties in seamlessly with Caesars Republic’s La Lupa wolf brand icon and its signature theme, “Unleash Your Alter Ego”—embodying a bold, confident spirit that encourages guests to explore their wild side through unforgettable culinary and social experiences.

Every element of the venue will reflect the complex spirit of the wolf—a highly intelligent and layered animal known for its strength, boldness, playfulness, mischief, loyalty, and devotion to its pack. The restaurant will bring bespoke, tailor-made creations from Vanderpump Alain, Lisa’s design company with celebrated designer Nick Alain, into a lush, unique environment. A dramatic central bar will serve as the visual and social heart of the space, surrounded by glamorous interiors and bold textures. As with Vanderpump’s other venues, the cocktail program will be extensive and imaginative—featuring locally inspired ingredients, elaborate garnishes, and visual storytelling that transforms every drink into a conversation piece.

“We are thrilled to be expanding the Wolf By Vanderpump brand and opening its second location in Scottsdale. WOLF is unique, bold, filled with epic visual statements, and it will be the perfect addition to the stunning Caesars Republic Arizona hotel. Vanderpump Alain is creating gorgeous bespoke pieces to bring this concept to life, with every element taken from the magnificent creature that is the wolf. This location will feel different to the Tahoe location, drawing inspiration from the desert and surrounding areas, which will be infused into the design, the food and the cocktails. We are excited to add this newest venture to our portfolio, and can’t wait to spend a lot of time in the beautiful city of Scottsdale,” said Lisa Vanderpump.

The food menu at Wolf by Vanderpump Scottsdale will feature a full array of reimagined favorites from the Lake Tahoe location, as well as unique, decadent shareable bites created specifically for this venue. Using seasonally driven and regionally inspired ingredients, the menu will showcase a luxurious blend of classic sophistication and bold creativity.
