Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (symbol: CZR) stands as the world's most diversified casino-entertainment provider and the most geographically diverse U.S. casino-entertainment company. Originating in Reno, Nevada, 75 years ago, Caesars has flourished into a global powerhouse, operating 50 casinos across 13 U.S. states and five international countries. Its well-known brands, including Caesars, Harrah's, and Horseshoe, are synonymous with high-quality entertainment and luxury.
Caesars' expansion was significantly bolstered by the 2020 acquisition by Eldorado Resorts, which doubled its U.S. footprint. Today, the company’s portfolio includes notable properties such as Tropicana, Bally's, Isle, and Flamingo. Additionally, Caesars owns the U.S. segment of William Hill, a leading digital sports betting platform, which it divested from its international operations in 2022.
The company generates substantial revenue from both its Las Vegas (49% of 2023 EBITDAR before corporate expenses) and regional markets (48%). Beyond physical casinos, Caesars also manages properties and digital assets, which have shown promising, albeit marginal, EBITDA in recent years. Caesars Entertainment remains committed to innovation, driven by a collaborative culture that values accountability, passion, and idea sharing.
Recent achievements highlight Caesars' forward-thinking approach. For instance, the sale of Casinos.com in 2022 for a multi-million-dollar deal underscores its strategic investments in high-value digital assets. The company also continually seeks talented individuals who share its core values and dedication to exceptional guest experiences, team member engagement, community impact, and environmental stewardship.
As Caesars Entertainment looks to the future, it remains a beacon of excellence in the casino-entertainment industry, blending tradition with cutting-edge innovation to offer unparalleled experiences to its guests and stakeholders around the world.
