When you look at how big Caesars vs MGM is, Caesars should be able to improve their properties and rebuild older properties. BUT Caesars is saddled with a HUGE debt load from OLD Caesars going private. Caesars Strip properties can compete with MGM, if given the attention that they deserve. I believe that the New Caesars was not proactive enough to develop all their real estate near the Strip, mainly behind Bally’s/Horseshoe, Paris and Planet Hollywood, before selling it to VICI.

Why they would want to sell it is beyond me. Why not dump Harrah’s instead? That place is boring. Too bad somebody like Dereck Stevens and his bro can’t get a hold of this property and/or Ballys. Think of all they could do. They would be able to keep that old school sense of style and class while refreshing it to modern standards and drawing in people to drink, eat and gamble. One can only dream….

But, I love the place regardless!

Not sure Caesar’s has an appetite for that kind of capital expenditure given the existing debt load. Not to mention the loss of income while the property is being redeveloped which would likely take a couple of years (or more).

That does not sound like a sustainable business model. Can’t help but wonder if they are killing off the golden goose.

(and thank you Caesars )]]> I am so happy for this turnabout. It would break my ever lovin’ heart if Ms. Pink was imploded. Oh the agony. I have lots of wonderful (naughty and good) memories with that place. ?? Rock on. (and thank you Caesars ??)

Time to invest a little $$$ in a refurbish and lipstick on the old girl!
