    Gaming Research May 28, 2018 Ken Liu (702) 266-5620 CAESARS ENTERTAINMENT CORP. (NASDAQ: CZR) [email protected] 1630 S. Commerce St. Caesars has a significant presence in Las Vegas with a 63% EBITDA Las Vegas, NV 89141 exposure. Labor contracts for most Las Vegas casino resorts, including all but one of the Caesars properties, expire at the end of May. Last week, 25,000 union members voted to authorize a strike by a 99% margin. Main outstanding issues in CZR negotiations include technology, housekeeping workload study, union security in case of change of ownership, and wages and benefits. The difference between the two sides’ economic proposals is approximately $7.4 million in the first year and $8.9 million in the fifth year. A one-month strike could reduce CZR’s EBITDAR by nearly $120 million. Negotiations are scheduled for May 29 and May 30 Labor contracts for most Las Vegas casino resorts expire at the end of May. Collective bargaining agreements between UNITE HERE’s Culinary Local 226 and Bartenders Local 165 (“the Union”) and most of the casino resorts on the Las Vegas Strip and Downtown Las Vegas are set to expire at the end of this month. All Caesars properties except the Rio have contracts expiring at the end of the month. (See the end of this note for a list of properties at risk.) Caesars has a significant presence in Las Vegas with a 63% EBITDA exposure. Negotiations for a new 5-year deal covering all CZR properties’ approximately 12,000 workers started in March, but major differences remain between the unions and the company.

    The Oral History of Kenny Epstein (Do Not Delete) 11/22/2017 12:11 Pm

    THE ORAL HISTORY OF KENNY EPSTEIN (DO NOT DELETE) 11/22/2017 12:11 PM THE ORAL HISTORY OF KENNY EPSTEIN Kenny Epstein has spent a lifetime working in the gaming industry. Beginning in 1966 at the newly opened Caesars Palace as a Baccarat shift boss, Epstein eventually purchased a stake in Jackie Gaughan’s El Cortez Hotel and Casino in the mid-seventies. Partnering with Gaughan and his son Michael, he helped build the Barbary Coast, Gold Coast, Orleans, and Suncoast. In 2007, Epstein purchased the El Cortez and continues to work as the casino’s chief executive officer today. _________________________________________________ I. EARLY LIFE Will you tell us about your life growing up, starting with where you were born? Well, I was born in Chicago, Illinois, July 10th, 1941. My father, Ike Epstein, was a gambler, a professional gambler. He started out as a horse-book banker at first. He had guys at the racetrack, then he got to be a layoff book banker. So that’s how I grew up in the business. Mostly with horses, but later on with sports. As a kid, did you have any particular hobbies or things that you would like to do for fun? Oh, baseball. Baseball is America’s sport. We played a game called pinners, which is baseball with no bat. You take a pink Spaldeen and you throw it on the stoop. You have lines on the street for single, double. Later on we played with a bat and a ball on the street. You know, we had plenty of parks but that wasn’t the game we played.

    Las Vegas Is Fantastic for Destination Weddings! Residents Enjoy Our Wide-Ranging Venues Too

    LAS VEGAS IS FILLED WITH EXCITING WEDDING DESTINATIONS Las Vegas is fantastic for Destination Weddings! Residents enjoy our wide-ranging venues too. Fabulous hotels and resorts present unimaginable options. Storied Las Vegas chapels and Elvis impersonators provide altogether different choices. We’ve done weddings in Madame Tussauds Wax Museum and are looking forward to our first at the Mob Museum and the Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health. Beyond that, Las Vegas has high-end restaurants, clubs and studios that offer one-of-a-kind packages. But you may be looking for something more picturesque than any of these. You may want your wedding “in a cathedral not built by human hands”. Vegas weddings don’t have to be indoors. With sunny consistent weather, Las Vegas is a perfect place for outdoor weddings. And with hillside locations offering panoramic views, extending forty miles, you can choose among breathtaking backgrounds for your incredible day. Las Vegas weather is magnificent all year round. Our winters average 39ºF / 58ºF (December and January). In summer our mornings and nights are inviting (though in July and August our afternoon temperatures occasionally reach as high as 115ºF). Our breezes and gorgeous sunsets are legendary. Rain is infinitesimal. So terrace, gazebo, garden, lake side, golf course, park, and unique outdoor weddings are always possible – and always romantic! Whether you are hiring someone to arrange a huge wedding, or you’re preparing an intimate ceremony for just your partner and a witness or two, Las Vegas has it all. You can plan with confidence. We’ve officiated weddings while in a Limo travelling the Strip and a helicopter encir- cling the city (neither are technically “outdoors”).

  • The Naming of Gaming

    The Naming of Gaming

    The Naming of Gaming Pauliina Raento Academy of Finland and William A. Douglass University of Nevada, Reno The naming of casinos in Las Vegas, Nevada, is an essential ingredient in the design of the city's entertainment landscape. More than 300 names have been used in the naming of gaming in Las Vegas since 1955. They occur in seven dominant patterns: 1) luck and good fortune, 2) wealth and opulence, 3) action, adventure, excitement and fantasy, 4) geography, 5) a certain moment, era, or season, 6) intimacy and informal- ity, and 7) "power words" commonly used in the naming of businesses. The categories are described and analyzed from the perspective of the evolution of Las Vegas. Regional variations between the Las Vegas Strip, Downtown Las Vegas, and suburban Las Vegas are also discussed. The names provide a powerful means of evoking senses of place, images, and identities for the casinos. They underscore the interpretative subjectivity and plurality of the relationship between people and commercial urban environments. Introduction We name people, things, and places to distinguish them from one another and to give them character. Often the names are commemorative and draw upon features (usually positive) of individuals and places. Buildings, streets and towns are named after other familiar places, historical events, and distinguished persons who have played a notable role in the shared past. As an example of the latter, over one quarter of the roughly 3,000 counties in the United States are named patriotically, most often commemorating a political figure (Zelinsky 1983, 6). Names of streets and buildings in capital cities and other centers of importance have special prestige.
