Caesars Entertainment to Merge with Eldorado Resorts

U.S. casino operator Eldorado Resorts (NASDAQ: ERI) currently operates 26 gambling properties in the U.S. in Nevada, Colorado, Missouri, Louisiana and New Jersey.

Caesars Entertainment has entered into an agreement to merge with Eldorado Resorts, creating a massive leader in gaming and entertainment. For Caesars Rewards members, this will mean access to approximately 60 properties across 16 states.

Eldorado Resorts is set to buy Caesars Entertainment in a $17.3 billion cash and stock deal, which includes Ceasars' debt. Eldorado will be 51% owner in the merger. To acquire the  Caesars name and properties, Eldorado will pay $7.2 billion in cash and approx 77 million stock shares.

Though the announcement today will begin a long journey as the two companies merge, they have announced that the Caesars Rewards program will remain intact and be an important part of the combined company. There will be no change to your Caesars Rewards Tier Status, your Rewards Credit balance or your existing reservations. There is no change to how you manage your Caesars Rewards account or book reservations.

You will continue to earn Tier Credits and Reward Credits for all of your activity as well as continue receiving offers and comps from your favorite Caesars resorts and casinos.

They are not announcing any changes to their network of properties at this time. In the future, with the close of the transaction we can expect to benefit from the expanded footprint across the U.S., providing guests with greater choice in where to stay and play. This deal may also increase purchasing leverages and could even result in slightly lower prices in food and rooms.

Update: $8.58 billion cash-and-stock merger of Eldorado Resorts Inc. and Caesars Entertainment Corp. closed Monday 7/20/2020, forging the largest casino operator in the U.S..

Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Resort will offer free self-parking for all guests

A 2018 survey by the Las Vegas Global Economic Alliance found 37% of survey respondents avoid parking at Las Vegas Strip Casinos with paid parking and 29% avoid using any services from the casinos that charge guests for parking.

On 4/29/19, Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Resort announced that their garages will offer free self-parking for all guests starting May 1st, but that doesn’t mean other resorts (MGM Resorts International and Caesars Entertainment Corporation) will follow in ending those fees.

The change takes place less than two years after Wynn Las Vegas implemented its paid parking program, which later allowed guests to offset parking fees by those who spent $50+ in the casino.

Michael Weaver (Wynn's spokesman), said the parking policy change was made to be in alignment with the company’s “position as a provider of luxury experiences for guests.”

Some of Wynn’s neighboring Las Vegas Resorts' parking policies may have also helped encourage the change, as Hooters, Tropicana, Venetian, Palazzo, Casino Royale, SLS Las Vegas, Circus Circus and Treasure Island offer free parking.

During MGM Resorts International’s first quarter earnings announcements, president and COO Bill Hornbuckle said Wynn’s “independent decision won’t change ours going forward.”, but MGM properties aren’t as surrounded by competitors offering free parking.

Wynn Las Vegas’s free self-parking is open to all guests and will not require validation; Valet parking will be free for overnight hotel guests (it is part of the resort fee) at both the Wynn Las Vegas and Encore Resort according to the Monday statement.
