Las Vegas: Bally´s could be imploded, rebuilt

The Strip casino will likely be renamed

(US).- Harrah’s Entertainment is contemplating a major renovation of its Bally’s resort on the Strip that might involve imploding it and building a Horseshoe-brand hotel, the company’s top executive said this week.


With the Caesars purchase, Harrah´s picks up Caesars Palace, Flamingo, Paris and Bally´s.

Harrah’s Chief Executive Gary Loveman, whose company assumed control of Caesars Entertainment Monday afternoon, said that’s just one of several options available. Sections of the property might also be rebuilt over time, he said. Bally’s will likely be renamed because it lacks a compelling brand identity, he added.

"We consider that corner one of the great locations in the city and we think there’s probably something better that could be done there," Loveman said. "We’re in the process of figuring out what that ought to be."

With the Caesars purchase, Harrah’s picks up Caesars Palace, Flamingo, Paris and Bally’s, all of which sit on or near the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road, like Harrah’s other two Las Vegas casinos. This creates an opportunity for the company to develop some kind of major attraction in the future to lure visitors to that part of the Strip, Loveman said.

Harrah’s became the world’s largest gaming company Monday with nearly 100,000 employees in 12 states and multiple countries and more than 40 casinos. In Nevada, the company will employ nearly 40,000 people and own 12 casinos after it sells the Reno Hilton later this year. It moves from the number 4 operator on the Strip to number 2 behind MGM Mirage, which owns 11 of the Strip’s major casinos after it bought Mandalay Resort Group last month.

About 40 percent of the company’s revenue will come from Nevada, up from about 20 percent before the deal.
