Caesars Entertainment has unveiled plans to renovate the main entrance, gaming areas and porte-cochere of Caesars Palace on the Las Vegas Strip property.
The multimillion-dollar overhaul will feature a dramatic domed ceiling, a 15-foot statue of Augustus Caesar, two new state-of-the-art gaming pits flanking the entryway, a new lobby bar and a renovation of the property’s domed table games floor.
“Caesars Palace brought a sense of grandeur to the Las Vegas Strip when it was built in 1966, and we’re proud to continue that legacy with a full reimagining of our main entrance,” said Sean McBurney, Caesars Entertainment’s regional president. “Completely rebuilding the front entrance of one of the world’s most iconic destinations is no small task, and we’re excited to get started and create a stunning new visual welcome for our guests.”
Brendan Bussmann, director of government affairs for Global Market Advisors, told the Las Vegas Review-Journal that the investment demonstrates the company’s commitment to its flagship property.
“Caesars has been and will continue to be one of the iconic properties on the Strip,” Bussmann said. “Today’s announcement, reinvesting in what is the front door to such an iconic property, shows the long-term belief in Las Vegas as well as a commitment from Caesars to be fresh and updated in attracting new customers to its properties.”
Alan Feldman, a distinguished fellow at UNLV’s International Gaming Institute, added, “Caesars has maintained its position as an important brand in the Las Vegas market, but that doesn’t mean that it goes on forever without some love and care. What made Caesars exciting in 1966 is obviously not going to be as exciting in 2021.”
