Lisa Vanderpump’s biggest gamble to date is bringing out all the emotions.
In Us’ exclusive sneak peek of the Tuesday, October 20, episode of Vanderpump Rules: Lisa Las Vegas, Lisa, 66, receives a surprise phone call from her proud daughter, Pandora Vanderpump Sabo.
“I just drove by the sign. Your name is on the sign of a f***ing building,” Pandora, 40, shares via FaceTime. “I’m sorry that’s the first time you’re hearing me swear because your name is on the sign of a Las Vegas hotel.”
She continues, “It’s amazing. It’s so iconic. It’s so cool. You could not do anything cooler than this — ever.”
As Lisa hears the positive feedback, she can’t help but tear up when she says, “I wish my family were [here].”
“Your family will see it. Your nephews will see it,” Pandora replies. “My kids will see it. It’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. I’m so proud of you.”
Lisa’s new limited series on Bravo follows her journey as she partners with Caesars Entertainment to open the Vanderpump Hotel in Las Vegas.
While she has the support of her husband, Ken Todd, longtime business partner Nick Alain, party planner Kevin Lee and a trusted team of collaborators, Lisa is extra thankful to have encouragement from Pandora.
“My daughter has never wanted to be on television. She’s never really wanted to be part of my world at all, but Pandora is my right-hand woman in every aspect of my business,” Lisa says in a confessional interview. “This is not nepotism. I could not do it without her, and I couldn’t do it better without her.”
Lisa’s latest business venture, which also includes her debut book titled Home at Villa Rosa: Cooking and Living the Vanderpump Way, is part of her greater hope to build a legacy for her family.
“I want to be known as a kick-ass businesswoman, but also a good wife, a great mother, a philanthropist,” Lisa says. “I want to have a legacy.”
In a separate interview with Us, Lisa teased that her new limited series will include an emotional component as she mourns several family members. (The Bravo star has been open about losing her parents and brother.)
“This stage where my name was on the side of a hotel, it was just like, ‘I wish they’d been there,’ you know?” she explained.
Vanderpump Rules: Lisa Las Vegas premieres on Bravo Tuesday, October 20, at 9 p.m. ET. Stream new episodes the next day on Peacock.
