Caesars
Windsor Opens To Rave
Reviews
Even
long-time Las Vegas veterans were
in awe as they got their first
look at Caesars Windsor, and the
$439 million expansion and
renovation that has transformed
Ontario's first Casino
resort into a property rivaling
the world's best.
Caesars
Windsor welcomed more than 5,000
guests to a Gala Opening tonight,
launching a new era of luxury and
style on the Canadian side of the
Detroit River.
"This
is a tremendous property. It is
not just the largest
casino-resort in the
Detroit-Windsor market, it is the
largest casino-resort in Canada,"
enthused Kevin Laforet, President
and CEO of Caesars Windsor.
"Combining this great facility
with the world-renowned Caesars
name makes Caesars Windsor a
premier destination for
world-class entertainment and
getaways."
Highlights
of the black-tie Gala Opening
included a performance by rock
star Billy Joel, inaugurating the
Colosseum - a 5,000 seat,
state-of-the-art entertainment
centre. Guests also had the
opportunity to get a first-hand
look at the new, 100,000 square
foot convention space, and the
stunning 27-story Augustus Tower
- with its soaring lobby, grand
pillars, Romanesque art, statues
and spectacular
fountain.
"This
is our first expansion of the
Caesars brand internationally and
signals our commitment to and
confidence in this market," said
Gary Loveman, chairman, CEO and
president of Harrah's
Entertainment. "As the world
leader in gaming, we are pleased
to bring to Canada the
customer-service excellence and
first-class amenities that are
the hallmark of the Caesars
brand."
