LAS VEGAS — Lisa Vanderpump says she is spending “a lot of energy behind the curtain” in the development of Vanderpump Hotel.

“It’s a shame not to witness this,” the reality-show pioneer says.

Never one to squander a real-life saga, Vanderpump is summoning the camera crews to Las Vegas to record the rebrand of the former Cromwell. “Vanderpump Rules: Lisa Las Vegas” is a three-episode Bravo burst, episode dates to be announced.

The star reveals only, “It will be a while.”

Vanderpump checked in on FaceTime chat from her home in Beverly Hills, where she was watching over her seven dogs, two miniature horses, and four swans. She says the new series will focus on the “Vanderpump kids,” Pandora and Max, and the pressure of overhauling a hotel on the Strip.

“We will see the day-to-day, people will be very aware of what we’re doing and follow me through all of the developments,” Vanderpump says. She is eager for the masses to see the detailed artistry of Nick Alain, the celebrated “nouveau chic” designer who partnered with her on the hotel’s timeless, contemporary aesthetics.

Filming for “Lisa Las Vegas” will be split between L.A. and Las Vegas, culminating in the sure-to-be-fab grand-opening party, scheduled for June 11. Guest rooms are available for reservations beginning May 29-30, with a two-night minimum required for all bookings through Sept. 14.

Vanderpump has watched her surname sign take its place facing the Strip. She said the moment was daunting, even by her standards.

“When I came to Las Vegas as a young woman, I never imagined this would be a possibility,” Vanderpump says. “Names on hotels can be so ambiguous, so to personalize it in this way is wonderful.”

Vanderpump says while visiting one of her Vegas hot spots, she still feels the “wow factor.”

“I get that when I walk through the Cocktail Garden at Caesars, even a few years after it has opened,” Vanderpump says. “But seeing my name go up was that, on steroids. It was very emotional.”

Vanderpump and her husband, Ken Todd, have developed 40 venues in the U.S. and U.K. She has found a vein of gold on the Strip, where her name and vision grace Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, Pinky’s at Flamingo and Vanderpump à Paris at Paris Las Vegas.

All are Caesars Entertainment resorts, a team Vanderpump says has been “wonderfully positive” to evolve with.

“I’m such a fan of Las Vegas, you can’t even believe it,” says Vanderpump, honored as this year’s Nevada Ballet Theatre Woman of the Year at NBT’s Black & White Gala in April. “It’s an extraordinary city, jam-packed with some of the best restaurants and entertainment in the world. Nothing compares to it.”
