LAS VEGAS -- At Caesars Palace, all roads lead to a new $4.5
million, 5,000-seat special-events center.
Caesars Pavilion, located adjacent to the Appian Way shopping
area and the Palace Tower, breathes "new lifeblood into the
property" for conference-goers, who represent 30% of the total
client mix, according to John Yaskin, vice president of sales.
Caesars chose to mainstream the 50,000-square-foot pavilion on
the entrance level of the resort, on space formerly occupied by a
conference center and the Circus Maximus showroom.
Supported by a seven-member team of convention coordinators, the
special-events center is equipped with fiberoptic networking and
audiovisual equipment. Leisure time planners also are
available.
The pavilion, with its 60-foot ceiling, is an ideal backdrop for
giant-screen presentations and displays staged by Caesars'
production team, Yaskin said. The facility is serviced by a
catering staff.
The pavilion, together with the existing Palace Tower conference
center, brings the total meetings space at Caesars to 110,000
square feet.
With the opening of the pavilion, Caesars relocated its business
center to the main level as well, providing a one-stop opportunity
for all groups, Yaskin said.
Palace Tower guest rooms are equipped with data ports.
For group reservations, call (800) 933-7110 or (702) 731-7110.

With dish, delegates can keep in touch
LAS VEGAS -- A Caesars Palace satellite dish beams conference
events to delegates' home offices for instant TV replay.
The resort's ability to uplink action via satellite allows
immediate distribution of important conference events, such as
press conferences and announcements.
In turn, feedback from corporate executives may be downlinked at
the convention site. An internal system of signals can relay TV
sports and other broadcasts to any meeting area.
Meeting groups have high-speed access to the Internet via T1
lines and may transmit radio interview broadcasts over ISDN
lines.
Caesars' convention facilities feature wireless microphones;
audio mixing boards and recording equipment; audiovisual and
computer link capabilities, and teleprompters.
