Caesars Entertainment Corporation celebrated the topping-off milestone last week for its new state-of-the-art 550,000 square-foot conference facility, Caesars Forum. More than 450 construction workers as well as meetings and conventions customers joined Caesars Entertainment executives for the monumental moment of placing the final steel beam atop the structure.
The $375 million conference center will carry a LEED Silver rating and features the world’s two largest pillar-less ballrooms. Caesars officials say they anticipate opening before the end of March 2020.
“Caesars Forum is one step closer to offering this one-of-a-kind option in the meetings and conventions industry,” said Michael Massari, chief sales officer at Caesars Entertainment. “The interest and bookings for our world-class facility have exceeded our expectations, and we look forward to serving a variety of clients when we open the doors to Caesars Forum open next year.”
Caesars Forum will be the first facility of this size built on one level. It is equivalent in size to 27 tennis courts or three ice hockey rinks. It will also feature Forum Plaza, the first 100,000-square-foot dedicated outdoor meeting and event space in Las Vegas.
