Caesars Entertainment is bringing live entertainment back to its Las Vegas Strip casinos, with the first resuming today.
It’s another step toward normalcy for the industry that has been battered by the COVID-19 pandemic that kept many would-be tourists home.
“Live entertainment is an important part of the Las Vegas experience that makes visiting this city so special, and we are thrilled that we can be first to offer it to our guests again,” Jason Gastwirth, president of entertainment at Caesars Entertainment, said in a press release.
Caesars will still have coronavirus-related health precautions in place for guests attending the live shows. There will be verbal health screenings, contactless temperature checks, mandatory masks and lower capacity with modified seating arrangements to allow for social distancing.

In addition to the scheduled performances, Caesars said it will host a variety of musicians in its various lounges and bars going ahead.
The Strip shut down because of the coronavirus in March, causing major losses for hotels and casinos and putting thousands of people out of work. Some hotels began reopening in June, but visitors have been slow to return.
Caesars isn’t the only hotel owner looking to bring back normal events to Las Vegas. MGM Resorts announced last month that it had put plans in place to safely host meetings and conventions at its properties.
Background:
Caesars Entertainment Corporation is the world’s most geographically diversified casino-entertainment company. Caesars is focused on building loyalty and value with its guests through a unique combination of great service, excellent products, unsurpassed distribution, operational excellence and technological leadership.Challenges
- Caesars manages, operates, and provides services to over 50 properties in the U.S. The brand portfolio includes Horseshoe, Harrahs, Flamingo and more. Within these brands, there are iconic entertainment venues, restaurants that include celebrity chefs, and various hotel attractions. Within the U.S. and on three continents, each property has its own culture, management structure, and communications challenges.
- The Company has nearly 58,000 employees, and approximately 50,000 of them do not have corporate email addresses. The Company has a diverse workforce (from supervisors to food service professionals; from table games dealers to parking and valet attendants) – the vast majority of which do not sit behind a desk with access to a computer or email. Nevertheless, employees need to access information easily and in a way that is convenient.
- Given the nature of its workforce, Caesars sought to find a way to simultaneously and instantaneously communicate with its employees. However, it was important that the Company be able to target its communications to its different employee audiences. For example, the Company needed to be able to provide management information to its supervisors in order to engage with their direct reports and provide top of mind information. At the same time, supervisors and communications professionals need to make sure that employees were not inundated with irrelevant information.
Solution
In the spring of 2014, Caesars launched an internal communication app with the help of theEMPLOYEEapp, which it branded CaesarsToday. In doing so, it implemented a property by property deployment. CaesarsToday allows the Company to accomplish the following:
- Privacy and security.
- Only authorized Caesars employees have access to the app.
- When an employee leaves the company or changes roles within the company, the individual’s information aligns with his or her new role or departure. Those no longer employed by the company are no longer able to access the app and its content.
- Because many of the Company’s employees do not have corporate email addresses, internal communication app offers a cost-effective solution to provide information directly to employee’s smartphones. Until now, important information had to be posted “back of house” or made available via websites and 1-800 numbers.
- Unified Communication. With many brands and locations, theEMPLOYEEapp allows employees to be able to “hear” from corporate management while still receiving localized information relevant to their personal employment and hotel property.
- Targeted Communication. Through an organized content folder structure co-developed by Caesars and theEMPLOYEEapp, employees have access to daily and important information specific to their particular job functions and location.
- Robust analytics. Caesars uses its employee app to provide employees with easy access to information such as schedules, HR manuals, paychecks and messages from management. Through the analytics platform contained in theEMPLOYEEapp content management system (CMS), Caesars can determine how its app is being utilized as well as what content drives the most engagement. Interestingly, the Company determined through the analytics that the timing of publication of certain information together with payroll or schedules increased the likelihood that other corporate content reached the employees.
- Increased Engagement between Employees, Supervisors and the Company. theEMPLOYEEapp CMS allows Caesars to create different groups of employees and to distribute specific and targeted information to each employee classification. An example of Caesars taking advantage of the group functionality can be seen by valet supervisors being able to send push notifications to the home screen of their team regarding parking alerts or large events at the property. This information, which is specific to parking attendants and not relevant other employee groups, like housekeepers, is only delivered to the parking attendants’ apps.
- Real Time Communication. The internal communication app provides for the instantaneous dissemination of information that HR professionals and supervisors alike can easily upload and send out to their employees.
- Alerts. Because CaesarsToday is a native app and not a responsive website, employees have the option to receive push notifications/text alerts that appear on the home screen of their mobile device when new content is added. theEMPLOYEEapp also has a broadcast alert function that is helpful if there is a critical message, emergency or fast approaching health/wellness deadline.
Results
Kitty Conrad, Vice President of Government Affairs and Communications at Caesars:
“Our workforce at Caesars is very unique. With tens of thousands of employees and hundreds of employee roles and responsibilities, theEMPLOYEEapp allows us to quickly and cost-effectively provide our employees with a mobile solution that allows them to conveniently receive messages and important information. Until now, this was only available at the back of house, on the phone, or at special computer kiosks on premise when the employees are off shift.”
“When rolling out the CaesarsToday app to our properties, we have fostered conversations with our employees regarding how, what and how much we communicate to them and whether or not they value these communications. Our HR team is committed to furthering employee engagement and recognizes the importance of communications in doing so. TheEMPLOYEEapp is one important component of our effort to further this corporate goal.”
