"We are overjoyed to welcome our loyal guests and dedicated team members back to Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, the centerpiece of the famous Las Vegas Strip," said Senior Vice President and Planet Hollywood General Manager Jason Gregorec. "Our guests can once again enjoy the unique experiences Planet Hollywood offers, as we continue to emphasize our enhanced health and safety protocols."
The momentous reopening of Planet Hollywood was celebrated in true Hollywood fashion with a showstopping dance number complete with paparazzi, bringing back the glamour of the resort to the Strip. Regional President of Caesars Entertainment Gary Selesner and Senior Vice President and Planet Hollywood General Manager Jason Gregorec welcomed guests back and thanked team members for their hard work and dedication as they prepared to reopen the doors.
Founded by Robert Earl, the Planet Hollywood brand is known for its superstar entertainment, major movie premieres, A-list celebrity guests and more. Given this, Anthony Anderson, notable actor and producer of the hit television show "Black-ish," made a surprise appearance and joined Selesner and Gregorec in a countdown to the official reopening of the doors that commenced with a spectacle of confetti cannons and cheers. Anderson, who is a friend of Earl's, said he could only answer "yes" when asked to participate in the reopening, as he attended the grand opening of the property in 2007. Additionally, the first two casino guests to play at Planet Hollywood included Bill Wagner, who ceremoniously rolled the first dice at a craps table, and Larry Garber, who played the first slot machine.
