Tuesday evening saw American casino giant, Caesars Entertainment Corporation, increase its lobbying efforts for its right to bring a future gambling facility to Japan by way of a sold-out concert at the Tokyo Dome by Canadian singer, Celine Dion (envisioned ).
Caesars Entertainment Corporation used an official Wednesday press release to show that the two-hour performance was Dion’s first in Japan for a twelve decades and marked the latest collaboration in the group ’s 15-year history. The casino operator detailed that the Quebec-born vocalist began her first residency at its The Colosseum at Caesars Palace theatre in 2003 and has since gone on to execute several 1,110 shows at the 4,200-seat Las Vegas venue.
Las Vegas-headquartered, Caesars Entertainment Corporation, said that Dion’s Tokyo operation marked the beginning of her 22-city Celine Dion Live 2018 excursion while its President and Chief Executive Officer, Mark Frissora, declared that his firm had sponsored the event so as to demonstrate its ‘dedication to building meaningful partnerships in Japan. ’
“Caesars Entertainment Corporation is the worldwide leader in creating world-class live entertainment experiences and we’re delighted that we helped attract Celine Dion back to Japan for the first time in twelve decades,” see a June 27 announcement from Frissora. “Live entertainment has been key to our success as the preeminent integrated hotel operator. With the integrated hotel laws reaching its final stages, we expect this concert shows our commitment to creating meaningful partnerships in Japan. ”
After months of consideration and discussion, last week saw Japan’s 465-seat House of Representatives ratify the Integrated Resort Implementation Bill, that will license up to 3 integrated casino hotels for the Asian nation of over 126 million individuals. The step is now set to proceed into the upper House of Councillors where its passing would open the doors for foreign operators and their local partners to bid for one of their three exclusive licenses.
However, Caesars Entertainment Corporation is set to face stiff competition in its quest to secure one of those coming Japanese casino licenses together with the likes of Boyd Gaming Corporation, Wynn Resorts Limited, Galaxy Entertainment Group Limited and MGM Resorts International only some of these mentioned to also be interested in getting the right to start a gambling venue in the ‘Land of the Rising Sun. ’
Caesars Entertainment Corporation explained via its Wednesday press release that it’d like to attract ‘a world-class integrated hotel ’ to Japan complete with a range of superlative entertainment offerings alongside the capability to showcase ‘Japanese culture and entertainment to individuals from all around the world. ’
“Entertainment for the entire family is at the heart of Caesars Entertainment Corporation and it was a joy to see such a wide range of people enjoying Celine’s concert,” see a statement from Steve Tight, International Development President for Caesars Entertainment Corporation. “Shows like this take place at Caesars Entertainment Corporation’s integrated resorts every day so it is my hope that this concert gave the audience a true taste of the type of entertainment you can expect at a Japanese amusement hotel. ”
