In celebration of National Dog Week (the last week of September), Caesars Palace hosted the inaugural Running of the Bulldogs, where 30 bulldogs competed in a short race towards a doghouse replica of The Colosseum. The owner of the winning bulldog received a two-night PetStay at Caesars Palace and dinner for two at Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill.

Running of the Bulldogs

Running of the Bulldogs | Caesars Palace | September 28, 2013

Rather than chasing tourists, 30 dogs were asked to dash 20 feet toward a miniature Colosseum doghouse finish line, blocking out cheering, treats and fellow competitors to run for victory. Lola, the winner, maintained exceptional focus, taking home the title—and a chic laurel wreath.
