Caesars is installing a casino in California
The new Caesars gaming venue will be located near Sacramento, the state’s capital city.
US.- California will soon host a new Caesars Entertainment’s casino as the American gaming company announced a deal with the Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians. Both organisations are installing the new casino together near Sacramento and it will be operated jointly under Harrah’s brand.
Under the agreement, Caesars and native operators will bring a new 71,000 square-foot Harrah’s-branded facility to Northern California. Harrah’s Northern California Casino will be located on the Buena Vista Tribe reservation land in Amador County, approximately one mile south of the town of Buena Vista, five miles southeast of the city of Ione, 28 miles northeast of the City of Stockton, and 32 miles southeast of the City of Sacramento. The location is complementary to Caesars Entertainment’s existing portfolio and is expected to generate strong visitation and excellent financial returns.
“This agreement with the Buena Vista Gaming Authority advances our growth strategy to expand the reach of our brands into new markets and reinforces our over 20-year history working with tribal partners,” said Mark Frissora, President and CEO of Caesars Entertainment. “We expect our Harrah’s brand and Total Rewards network to increase the earnings potential of the property while generating incremental revenue for Caesars Entertainment without significant capital investment.”
Caesars Entertainment will provide brand licensing and consulting services for the casino – to be named Harrah’s Northern California Casino – which will be developed, owned and operated by the Buena Vista Gaming Authority near Sacramento, California. The 71,000 square-foot property is expected to open in 2019 and will include 950 state-of-the-art slots, 20 table games, one full-service restaurant and three fast-casual dining concepts. Once operational, Caesars intends to enter into a management agreement with the Buena Vista Gaming Authority to manage, operate and maintain the property on behalf of the Gaming Authority and the Buena Vista Tribe.
“We’re excited to partner with Caesars Entertainment to bring the Harrah’s brand to our gaming project,” said Rhonda L. Morningstar Pope-Flores, Chairwoman of the Buena Vista Rancheria of Me-Wuk Indians. “Harrah’s is a world-class brand that is known for offering a fun gaming atmosphere with unparalleled customer service. We’re confident that it will attract more people to our destination.”
