Caesars Entertainment has completed a $100 million renovation of all 2,496 rooms and suites at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip, the gaming giant announced.

Caesars is in the process of remodeling its entire Vegas hotel portfolio?23,000 rooms and suites in all?a massive undertaking the company expects to have more than 50 percent complete by year end.

As the first to be finished, the Planet Hollywood project represents a “significant milestone” for the company, said Bob Morse, Caesars president of hospitality.

The completion comes as the resort is celebrating 10 years under the Planet Hollywood brand, and the remodeling was designed by Bergman, Walls & Associates to create surroundings “that encapsulate the celebrity lifestyle,” according to David Hoenemeyer, regional president of Bally’s, Paris and Planet Hollywood. Bright colors and bold imagery dominate, along with special touches such as suspended sofas and round beds.

The resort also is showcasing a new 24-hour restaurant, Café Hollywood, which opened earlier this month at the site of the former Planet Dailies. The 5,500 square-foot eatery features an expanded menu and multimedia presentations.
