History
Opened September 1, 1999. The project was
originally announced by Bally Entertainment, owner of the
adjacent Bally's Las Vegas.
Building began under Hilton Hotels, which
purchased Bally Entertainment in 1996; Hilton's casinos were
subsequently spun off into Park Place Entertainment, which
purchased Caesars World in 2000 and changed its name to Caesars
Entertainment in 2004.
At the time of its opening, the hotel ran
amusing television advertisements throughout the United States
implying that it had ensured the authenticity of its reproductions
of Paris landmarks, culture and cuisine by looting the real
city.
