Caesars makes a move to win Japan IR license

Caesars Entertainment has established a three-person committee with experts to win an IR license in Japan.

Japan.- The interest for integrated resorts in Japan is greater than ever and Caesars Entertainment has taken the initiative to win a license on its own. The gaming giant has created the three-person “Japan Advisory Committee” to make a stronger case with the help of former US Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle, former US Trade Representative Charlene Barshefsky, and Kara Bue of Armitage International.

Senator Daschle said he’s excited to join the committee and said: “I know (Caesars) will bring the thoughtful and family-oriented approach that Japan is looking for during this important time.” Ambassador Barshefsky added some praise for Caesars and advanced that “given their vast experience fostering international business as a global leader in the MICE industry, and my experience building strong economic ties between the United States and Japan while being a United States Trade Representative, joining their team was a natural decision.”

Ms Bue further stated that the company “has been a leading provider of world-class entertainment. It’s a great pleasure to support the Caesars team and promote the cross-cultural exchange of arts and entertainment between Japan and Caesars’ international network.”

The company returned the compliments through its president of international development Steven Tight, who voiced his excitement on the move and said: “Caesars has a proud legacy of delivering remarkable entertainment experiences while focusing on responsible gaming and economic development. We are glad that Senator Daschle, Ambassador Barshefsky, and Kara Bue are helping us bring this experience to Japan should we be fortunate enough to earn a license.”
