Key to the ongoing success of the iconic resort are its dedicated employees. Caesars Palace is proud to have five, year-one employees (Pete George, Pamela Price, Jim Dunbar, Benny Figgins and John O’Connell) including Jim Dunbar who has been a faithful team member since day one Aug. 5, 1966. Recently, these esteemed team members were treated to a VIP meet and greet with Celine Dion. The group also enjoyed the show and took a commemorative picture with the legendary music icon.

Today, as part of a $1 billion investment in the resort, Caesars Palace has recently opened the luxurious new Julius Tower (a stunning re-imagination of the hotel’s original Roman Tower); launched OMNIA Nightclub regarded as the world’s best nightlife venue boasting international superstar DJ’s; created a stunning homage to cigar and cocktail culture with the Montecristo Cigar Bar; redefined the dining experience with the addition of global culinary phenomenon MR CHOW and welcomed back music icon Celine Dion to center-stage at The Colosseum, along with its newest resident artists, Mariah Carey, Reba McEntire and Brooks & Dunn as well as long-standing legendary residents Elton John, Rod Stewart and Jerry Seinfeld.
