History of Caesars Palace
Founder of Caesars Palace Jay Sarno, who in 1962 took thirty-five million dollars from the pension fund, has developed a draft of the future building and started to build a 14-store hotel. Kirk Kerkorian owned the land where the construction began.
Sarno long struggled over the choice of name for a hotel and eventually stopped at Caesars Palace.
He specifically mentioned the word Caesars, and not Caesar's (Caesar), because every guest had to feel like Caesar.
Many companies took part in the hotel's construction, but all sketches were developed independently by Sarno.
- In August 1966, the Caesars Palace hotel, with 680 rooms, was opened.
- Three years later, it was purchased by Stuart and Clifford Perlman, founders of the Lum's restaurant chain.
- In 1975 another building (with sixteen floors) was built.
- In 1992 shopping center Forum was opened there. Later, especially for performances of Celine Dion, the Colosseum was built.
- In 2005 Augustus (forty-six floors) welcomed the first astonished visitors.
Later, Harrah's Entertainment acquired Caesars Entertainment, Inc. and became the owner of Caesars Palace. In 2009, it was announced that construction of the building Octavius would be frozen due to low demand.
