On Nov. 30, 2012, Caesars Entertainment Corporation (NASDAQ: CZR) announced its previously arranged $185 million,
seven-year senior secured credit facility will fund the conversion of
Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon to a boutique lifestyle hotel and
casino. The renovation includes the addition of a rooftop pool as well
as a dayclub/nightclub. Drai Management Group will manage the club.
"This project exemplifies our strategy to develop new experiences that will help attract a broader spectrum of visitors to Las Vegas and our properties," said Gary Loveman,
chairman, chief executive officer and president of the company. "The
renovated property will provide visitors with a sophisticated, upscale
experience, including a unique rooftop pool and club, which will have a
panoramic view of the Las Vegas Strip."
The conversion includes the complete remodeling of the guest rooms, casino floor and common areas, the addition of a new second floor restaurant, and the construction of the 65,000 square foot rooftop pool and dayclub/nightclub.
Bill's Gamblin' Hall & Saloon will temporarily close on Feb. 4, 2013
to accommodate the remodeling. The renovated hotel and casino is
expected to open in early 2014, under a new name, while the rooftop club
will open later that year. The renovated resort and club are
anticipated to employ more than 1,000 people.
