LAS VEGAS
Caesars Entertainment Corporation announced plans to upgrade more than 4,800 hotel rooms this year at four of its Las Vegas resorts, and more than 900 rooms at three regional casinos. This renovation effort represents approximately 20% of rooms in Las Vegas and 15% of total company rooms.
At the end of 2016, following the completion of this series of room renovations, Caesars Entertainment said it will have updated more than 10,000 hotel rooms in the last three years.
This year of room renovations and upgrades began with the already underway transformation of the roughly 586-room original tower at Caesars Palace, newly branded as the Julius Tower, and the planned full refresh of the approximately 948-room Augustus Tower. Planet Hollywood will reimagine more than 1,294 rooms and suites; Harrah's Las Vegas plans to overhaul approximately 672 rooms of the hotel's south tower and Paris Las Vegas plans to transform approximately 1,320 rooms and suites.
Caesars Atlantic City is expected to renovate nearly 274 rooms; Harrah's Gulf Coast plans to renovate 499 rooms and Horseshoe Tunica will refresh 193 rooms.
"These enhancements will substantially improve room product at four of our resorts in Las Vegas, and three regional casinos," said Mark P. Frissora, president and CEO of Caesars Entertainment.
In the past five years, Caesars Entertainment has made material investments in Las Vegas, including the development of The LINQ Promenade and the High Roller, The Cromwell, the only standalone boutique hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, the world's first Nobu Hotel, the 642-room Octavius Tower, along with the opening of Giada, the only restaurant of the famed Chef Giada De Laurentiis.
The room and suite upgrades at all four Las Vegas hotels will include modern room designs, enhanced in-room electronics, new furnishings and soft goods. All rooms will receive upgraded TVs complete with fully refurbished bathrooms along with elevated in-room amenities and services.
