Caesars, located central Strip, has historically (and to a lesser degree
still is today) been known for hosting premier sporting events and particularly
boxing. What many do not know about is a gem of a gallery within the storied
casino called the Neil Leifer Gallery. You can take a look at some of the most
amazing sports photos ever taken for absolutely free. From the best known sports
heroes to lesser known athletes, Olympic stars, and much more, they are all
featured here.
The gallery is located on the casino level in the Augustus Tower. You may
browse the inspirational photos plus every displayed image is also on sale.
There are additional photos from this collection displayed in the Caesars poker
room.
Some of the more popular works in the gallery include Muhammad Ali over the
fallen Sonny Liston, Secretariat winning the Kentucky Derby and President John
F. Kennedy with Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson after throwing out the first
pitch in the 1961 baseball season.
There are dozens of photos in this collection and much of Neil Leifer’s work
has been featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated through the years as well
as on the covers of Tim and People. He has one the Lucie Award which is the most
prestigious award in photography.
