ABSTRACT This thesis is a case study of the public relations aspects of the 1987 and 1995 acquisition attempts of Caesars World Incorporated, a gaming and hotel company whose most prominent subsidiary is Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada. The purpose of the study was to explore what scholars and professionals had postulated about the role of public relations and determine whether these practical applications melded with their concepts. The study indicates that during these episodes public relations was an important component of the takeover process in that it helped align communication strategies with financial objectives. However, the functions performed were of a supportive nature and are not, as some scholars suggest, critical to the overall defensive scheme of the targeted company. m Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

  • The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle
    The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle By Stefan Johannes Al A dissertation submitted in the partial satisfaction of the Requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Professor Greig Crysler Professor Ananya Roy Professor Michael Southworth Fall 2010 The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle © 2010 by Stefan Johannes Al Abstract The Strip: Las Vegas and the Symbolic Destruction of Spectacle by Stefan Johannes Al Doctor of Philosophy in City and Regional Planning University of California, Berkeley Professor Nezar AlSayyad, Chair Over the past 70 years, various actors have dramatically reconfigured the Las Vegas Strip in many forms. I claim that behind the Strip’s “reinventions” lies a process of symbolic destruction. Since resorts distinguish themselves symbolically, each new round of capital accumulation relies on the destruction of symbolic capital of existing resorts. A new resort either ups the language within a paradigm, or causes a paradigm shift, which devalues the previous resorts even further. This is why, in the context of the Strip, buildings have such a short lifespan. This dissertation is chronologically structured around the four building booms of new resort construction that occurred on the Strip. Historically, there are periodic waves of new casino resort constructions with continuous upgrades and renovation projects in between. They have been successively theorized as suburbanization, corporatization, Disneyfication, and global branding. Each building boom either conforms to a single paradigm or witnesses a paradigm shift halfway: these paradigms have been theorized as Wild West, Los Angeles Cool, Pop City, Corporate Modern, Disneyland, Sim City, and Starchitecture.

    CompanyCompany PresentationPresentation Forward Looking Statements These materials contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act. Such statements include statements regarding the Company's expectations, hopes or intentions regarding the future, including but not limited to statements regarding the Company's strategy, competition (including the expansion of gaming into additional markets), expenses, indebtedness, development plans (including anticipated costs, timing and eventual acceptance of new facilities), financing, revenue, EBITDA, operations, earnings, regulations and compliance with applicable laws. Forward-looking statements involve certain risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those discussed in any such statement. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially are the following: competition, our current level of indebtedness, uncertainties relating to new developments and expansion, the need for additional financing and regulation. In particular, there can be no assurance that our construction of Wynn Las Vegas will be completed on time or within budget. Wynn Las Vegas is subject to the many risks inherent in the development and operation of a new business enterprise, including potential unanticipated design, construction, regulatory, environmental and operating problems, increased project costs, timing delays, lack of adequate financing and the significant risks commonly associated with implementing a new marketing strategy. Additional factors that could cause actual results to differ are discussed under the heading "Risk Factors" and in other sections of the Company's Prospectus. All forward-looking statements in these materials are made as of the date hereof, based on information available to the Company as of the date hereof, and the Company assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement.
