Casa Fuente Closing on Oct. 20

[El Presidente]

Casa Fuente, one of the world’s most recognizable cigar shops, is closing on Oct. 20, 2025.

Its closing is not abrupt. Since last year, Casa Fuente’s owners have known that the store’s lease comes to an end this fall and that they would not renew it, marking the end of the store’s 20-year run in Las Vegas. For those who are interested in stopping by, Casa Fuente’s final day will be Monday, Oct. 20.

Was there earlier this year (April)- very limited stock. Definitely no Opus X...

They did mention the ongoing issue with the landlord and smoking inside..

Their Montecristo @ Caesar has a better selection than @ Paris.

Cigarbox is not bad = just off the beaten path and hard to access if you are visitor...

Casa Fuente In Las Vegas Closing Its Doors

Destination cigar bar Casa Fuente will be serving its last Mojito next month

Time is running out for cigar fans hoping to light up at Casa Fuente in Las Vegas. The Fuente-centric cigar bar, located at the Forum Shops of Caesars Palace, will be shuttering on October 19. According to managing partner Michael Frey, changes in smoking policy regarding the outer “patio” area prompted the decision to not renew the lease. 

When Casa Fuente opened in 2005, it became an instant destination for cigar lovers, especially those who had an affinity for cigars made by Arturo Fuente in the Dominican Republic. The shop features exclusive blends and unique sizes found only in Las Vegas. At the time, patrons were allowed to smoke inside the cigar bar as well as within a roped-off “patio” area outside the entrance. Because Casa Fuente is located inside the Forum Shops (an indoor shopping mall), smoke often permeates the upscale galleria, causing perpetual friction with property management. Patio smoking was eventually prohibited, which meant the loss of around 65 seats and an inevitable decline in revenue.

“The lease is expiring and with the change in policy regarding smoking on the patio, it didn’t make sense to stay,” Frey says. “It was an incredible 20 years. It was a joy to meet and befriend so many wonderful patrons from all over the world while providing them with a welcoming experience where they could enjoy a fine cigar and cocktail.”

Carlos Fuente Jr., partner in Casa Fuente and owner of Arturo Fuente Cigar Co., echoes Frey’s sentiment. “It breaks my heart that it’s closing,” he tells Cigar Aficionado, “but being able to meet all those people from around the world, those were some of the happiest years of my life.” 

If you manage to make it to Casa Fuente before it closes, some of the rare cigars include the Casa Fuente line (a series made exclusively for this cigar bar), and unusual sizes such as the BBMF, LBMF and Chili Pepper in the Fuente Fuente OpusX and ForbiddenX blends. The lounge humidor also stocks plenty of cigars from J.C. Newman and Ashton. 

There are no immediate plans to re-open Casa Fuente in another Las Vegas location, but Fuente says he has not entirely ruled out the possibility.

Been there many times. I loved sitting out front smoking cigars people watching and flirting with the waitresses.😜 Sad to see it go!

I was in the new(ish) Fuente cigar bar in Santiago, Dominican Republic recently and the shop there seemed extremely well stocked with Opus X and Casa Fuente cigars.

I have fond memories of smoking out in the front and in the bar. Their mojitos were really good also.

I visited last winter. The Mojitos were excellent, but expensive (as is Las Vegas presently), I grabbed a unique Casa Fuente smoke, which wasn't the best blend. Dominated by that Cameroon wrapper flavour. meh. The Opus X, few were available and mucho dinero, nothing special on offer. Over the years I have been lucky to spend time with Carlito, mostly in Dubai, and launches and social events. His passion is infectious. I've smoked a bunch, his best is the Lost City, and some of the earlier Opus X. Shame the venue is closing, but that's Vegas presently. Crazy pricing. I spent my 5 visits last winter down the Arts district, good food, drinks and pricing.

Always seemed like a loss leader kind of place. Are there any plans to open in another space?

[Rhod]

The last couple trips I much preferred the Monte Cristo lounge in Caesar's. The Casa Fuente employees were kind of a******s, to be frank. Pre-covid they were always awesome.

Bummer. Enjoyed many mojitos and cigars there while my wife shopped.
