ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.,
June 19, 2019 /PRNewswire/
-- Caesars Atlantic City is celebrating its 40th
anniversary this summer to commemorate four decades of achievements
and milestones. Beloved by generations across the tri-state area,
the premier oceanfront resort destination has evolved to meet an
ever-changing consumer demand for new experiences and new
audiences. By hosting hundreds of signature events, offering
first-class entertainment, award-winning restaurants, and offering
an array of accommodation options with stunning views, Caesars has
proved to be a steadfast iconic resort destination in Atlantic City.
Achieving the 2019 TripAdvisor® Certificate of Excellence in
this milestone year, Caesars Atlantic City is also a proud Hall of
Fame recipient, recently earning the Certificate of Excellence for
the past five years, consecutively. Caesars also secured
recognition as the #1 traveler-ranked hotel in Atlantic City on TripAdvisor for the majority
of 2018.
On the heels of over $170 million
in capital investments and improvements into its Atlantic City resorts over the last several
years, including most recently the debut of Gordon Ramsay Steak and
a $56 million hotel renovation at
Harrah's Resort, the company recently-debuted two new sportsbooks
in Atlantic City this June,
including The Book at Bally's, located in The Wild Wild West,
receiving nods as the most energetic casino in Atlantic City***. The Book at Bally's
will additionally serve guests at Caesars and will reinvent the bar
and betting experience in the market as the largest sportsbook in
Atlantic City, rivaling the top
books in Las Vegas.
The Book, currently in its soft opening phase, will introduce an
immersive entertainment experience with the city's first self-serve
beer wall, Beer Yourself, and private VIP Fan Caves, with food
& beverage service by celebrity chef Guy Fieri.
"With three resorts in the market, Caesars has viewed
Atlantic City as critical to our
success over the past 40 years," said Tony
Rodio, CEO of Caesars Entertainment. "Atlantic City is a popular destination,
especially during the summer months, for one-third of the U.S.
population and many of our 55 million Caesars Rewards members, who
live within driving distance of our properties. Having
started out at Harrah's Resort, and spending most of my career in
the City, I have a special appreciation of this landmark 40th
anniversary for Caesars, the gaming industry and Atlantic City," he added.
"For almost half a century now, Caesars has been committed to
Atlantic City and has led the way
in positioning the city as a leading gaming & entertainment
destination on the East Coast," explained Kevin Ortzman, Regional President for Caesars
Entertainment. "But most importantly, however, is our
dedication to helping make the community we serve a great place to
both work and play. Through all the ebbs and flows this market has
seen, Caesars has continued to thrive over the last 40 years, and
we attribute much of our success to our 70 day-one employees who
deliver top-notch service to our guests each day, and our loyal
customers. We are thrilled to celebrate our 40th
anniversary this summer at Caesars."
A 40-Year Legacy
Staying true to its entertainment and dining roots, Caesars
Entertainment continues to offer guests curated experiences through
an impressive roster of fine-dining establishments including
Atlantic City's only restaurants
by a world-class Michelin-rated chef, Gordon Ramsay (Gordon Ramsay Pub & Grill at
Caesars; Gordon Ramsay Steak at Harrah's Resort) and Nero's Italian
Steakhouse, Caesars' legacy restaurant, which still upholds its
timeless, nostalgic vibes, hosting boldface names like Whoopi
Goldberg and Al Pacino over the
years. Celebrating its own 25th anniversary
milestone this year, Nero's has been known for its outstanding
Sunday brunch, named one of the country's Top 10 Brunches in
America by The Daily Meal, as well as being acknowledged by
NJ.com as the #1 restaurant in the state of New Jersey for the best premium steak.**
Over the past 40 years, the resort expanded to almost double its
original capacity to help build a foundation for many celebrity
careers at the Circus Maximus Showroom, including Joan Rivers, Diana
Ross, Tony Bennett, Journey,
Lionel Richie, Dolly Parton and many more.
The most important part of Caesars' success, however, has been
its 70 legacy employees who have been with the company from the
first day the resort opened its doors. For over 40 years,
these team members have delivered superior customer service and
have been reliable, friendly faces Caesars' loyal customers have
come to know and love. Bally's, which will also celebrate its
40th anniversary this year, uniquely has 46 day-one
employees, bringing Caesars Entertainment total number of legacy,
40-year team members to 116.
A 40-Year Commitment To The Community
For the past four decades, Caesars Atlantic City has been
committed to help build a strong South Jersey community by
empowering team members, supporting local businesses and over 300
community organizations last year, and respecting the environment
through its industry-leading Code Green initiative.
Caesars' HEROs, the company's employee-based volunteers,
additionally logged over 11,000 volunteer hours last year, the
equivalent of 270 full-time jobs - helping support many worthy
organizations in Atlantic County
through their boots-on-the-ground citizenship efforts.
