Las Vegas is entering its Vanderpump era.
The Sin City strip is the home of Lisa Vanderpump's eponymous new hotel - the latest chapter in her hospitality empire which, until recently, featured a collection of world-famous restaurants.
Now, a new limited series is set to chronicle the opening of The Vanderpump Hotel, a grand resort right in the heart of Vegas.
Bravo announced Vanderpump Rules: Lisa Takes Vegas earlier this year, with the network confirming to The Daily Mail on Monday that the show will hit screens next month.
Meanwhile, Marcus Johnson, a Vanderpump Rules star who will appear on the upcoming series, dished more details to The Daily Mail at Lisa Vanderpump's World Dog Day in West Hollywood on Saturday.
'We shot it two months ago,' the star stated. 'The majority of the cast is involved in it, and we went out to Vegas a couple times and watched Lisa open up her hotel. Stayed there, casino, photo shoots.'

'It's not really a spinoff,' he clarified. 'It's like a three-episode special.'
Lisa Takes Vegas was announced earlier this year at the 2026 NBCUniversal Upfronts, with fans excited to see the British-born entrepreneur building her new hotel.
'Lisa Vanderpump has been ruling over the Las Vegas strip for years now, with three hotspot restaurants serving up chic cocktails in her signature whimsical settings,' a description for the show read. 'Now, she is expanding her Vegas empire through the opening of her high-profile namesake hotel.
'In this limited series, we follow the behind-the-scenes dash to make the property worthy of the Vanderpump brand. LVP shares what inspired her newest enterprise and pulls back the curtain on the down-to-the-wire drama. The series will culminate at The Vanderpump Hotel’s lavish opening party, with fan-favorite Bravolebrities celebrating the launch.'
It marks the latest feather in Lisa's cap.
'This year, I've done Lisa Las Vegas. That show, which is airing on Bravo soon. I open my Vanderpump Hotel. I've just come back from shooting Vanderpump Villa season four, so I've been busy,' she told The Daily Mail at World Dog Day of her latest happenings.

Natalie Maguire, one of the stars of season 12, is uncertain but hopeful about the future of Vanderpump Rules
The hotel, which opened in June, is already a hit with visitors: 'It's actually scoring 9.8 on Expedia,' she said.
But what about the fate of Lisa's primary reality series, Vanderpump Rules?
After a turbulent few years - which saw the beloved original stars replaced with a brand new cast for season 12 - the future of the series remains uncertain.
The show returned for season 12 last year and reportedly was renewed for a 13th season, TMZ previously reported - however nothing has been confirmed by the network.
Natalie Maguire, a singer and one of the stars of the rebooted cast, also weighed in on the future of Vanderpump Rules.
'All I know is that I'm at SUR, like multiple times a week, working. We were all there last night. Lisa was there. Bruno [Tonioli] from Dancing with the Stars was there,' Maguire told The Daily Mail when asked about a possible season 13.

Lisa, who has made the welfare of animals one of her life's missions, delivered a speech to attendees of World Dog Day
Chris Hahn, Johnson, Kim Suarez, Demy Selem, Maguire, Venus Binkley, Audrey Lingle, and Jason Cohen are the SUR-vers who became the new stars of Vanderpump Rules
'So all I really need is them to pick up cameras. Everything is happening at SUR, like as per usual.'
Maguire and Marcus were just a few of the stars of Vanderpump Rules supporting Lisa's ninth annual World Dog Day celebration at the West Hollywood Park.
Lisa has made the welfare of animals one of her life's missions and founded the dog rescue organization, The Vanderpump Dog Foundation, in 2016.
'It's my favorite day of the year,' Lisa told The Daily Mail of World Dog Day. 'But also, when you're in rescue, I think one of the most beautiful things about it is you really get to celebrate the dogs today.

'And I think all the people that work with the organization, volunteers, people that you know run it on day-to-day basis, our fosters, you know, all of those - it's just a feel-good factor today.
'I think a lot of what we see in rescue is heartbreak. So to have today, where everybody comes together and celebrates our four-legged, well, not all of them have four legs, as you can see. You know, we've got tripods, we've got dogs with wheelchairs.'
'They're just wonderful little furry people, and they deserve to be celebrated.'
It's a passion shared by Marcus and Maguire, who both are dog owners.
Maguire owns a 'strong and resilient' husky who has faced health challenges while Marcus has a six-year-old German Shepherd.
'She has a little bit of a lower ear on the left side,' Maguire said of her dog. 'It gives her character, and I'm so proud of her.'
