Caesars ready for Bette Midler

More changes and improvements in the empire of Caesar. The most expensive change is the nearly one billion dollar expansion project. This will add another new luxury hotel tower, more pools, convention space and luxury suites. The new tower, projected to add another 665 rooms to the strip will be named the Octavius Tower. This new expansion should be complete by early 2009.

Of current interest, the news that the 512 room Forum Tower will be renovated. Also, the Forum Casino will get a makeover. The buffet restaurant may return, the Cypress Street Marketplace will be remodeled and the Sports Book updated. These changes will be welcomed by the visitors and the patrons of the hotel. I think the casinos at Caesars are in need of a makeover an upgrade. The casinos are just large sprawling rooms that seem to meander forever. A good layout is needed.

I have stayed at Caesars before. The regular rooms are in need of renovation. The rooms are spacious, have the amenities you need, but also tired, worn out, and out of date. Not worth the money Caesar asks for them. A good buffet would be an improvement. The restaurants at Caesars are quite expensive. And the buffet at Cafe Lago cannot compare with neighboring buffets at the Bellagio or Mirage.

The Divine Miss M, Better Midler is all set to replace Celine Dion. The first show will be Wednesday February 28th. Prices for the tickets will range from around $95 up too $250 for a single ticket. Tickets are available now on the Caesars Palace website or on the www.ticketmaster.com/ website. Tickets are still available for those of you wanting one last Celine Dion performance.

We are quite use to all the construction and rebuilding happening now. Use to the dust, noise, detours, walled off areas. Hopefully the new improvements will make the Empire grand and stand above all once again!!
