Most of the multimillion-dollar project, which includes two redesigned gaming areas and a new lobby bar, is expected to be completed by New Year’s Eve. "Caesars Palace brought a sense of grandeur to the Las Vegas Strip when it was built in 1966, and we're proud to continue that legacy with a full reimagining of our main entrance," said Sean McBurney, Caesars Entertainment regional president.
