Caesars Entertainment Corporation (formerly Harrah's Entertainment from 1995 to 2010) is a gaming corporation based in Paradise, Nevada that owns and operates over 50 casinos and hotels, and seven golf courses under several brands. It is the fourth-largest gaming company in the world, with annual revenues of $8.6 billion (2013). Caesars is a public company, majority-owned by a group of private equity firms led by Apollo Global Management and TPG Capital.
Caesars's largest operating unit filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January 2015.
The company's background can be traced to October 29, 1937, when Bill Harrah opened a small bingo parlor in Reno, Nevada, a predecessor to Harrah's Reno. In 1955, he expanded to Stateline, Nevada, on the south shore of Lake Tahoe, where he would eventually open Harrah's Lake Tahoe.Harrah's Inc. made its initial public offering in 1971. Following that in 1972, it was listed on the American Stock Exchange and in 1973, Harrah's became the first casino company listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
Harrah's Resort Atlantic City is a hotel and casino, located in the marina district of Atlantic City, New Jersey, and is Harrah's flagship casino.
The casino is one of three in the marina district of the city, along with the Borgata and the Golden Nugget. Harrah's was the first to be located in the district and remained the only resort there until Trump's Castle was opened in 1985. It was the fifth casino to open after the legalization of gambling.
Harrah's Atlantic City was conceived, and initial construction started, by a partnership of LM Walters Co and Holiday Inns. It was originally to be named the "Holiday Inn Marina Casino". Holiday Inns purchased Harrah's Corporation, following the death of Harrah's founder Bill Harrah, during construction of the facility. Though Bill Harrah did not participate in the new casino's development, the facility was re-branded "Harrah's Marina" prior to opening. The new casino was located in the marina district - the first casino in Atlantic City not located on the famous boardwalk.
The 2001 Harrah's 500 was the tenth round of the 2001 CART World Series Season, held on July 22, 2001 on the Michigan International Speedway, Michigan, United States. Rahal's Kenny Bräck started on pole.
When you're down and you're lonely
You know that I will be there
Even though we've been around the world
Away from you
Just close your eyes
Dreams will come true
This love is now and forever
I found a way to your heart
Through the sunshine and the rainy days
This much is true
Remember
We love you
Join hands let go
Set the world on fire
You can believe that
Love will take you higher
I swear you'll never be the same
Cause this kind of love never ends
From all of us to all of you
Just close your eyes and let your
Dreams come true
Join hands let go
Set the world on fire
You can believe that
Love will take you higher
I swear you'll never be the same
Cause this kind of love never ends
Join hands let go
Set the world on fire
You can believe that
Love will take you higher
I swear you'll never be the same
