First renderings released of the gaming floor at Caesars Palace Times Square
The first renderings of what the gaming floor would look like at Caesars Palace Times Square has been released with designs showing a large glass dome spanning the ceiling above the gaming tables with gilded columns and slot machines along the perimeter.
The casino will use a separate lobby along Seventh Avenue with the gaming floor located above street level and needing customers to go through a security check before entering. No gambling will be visible from the street.
Developed in a partnership between SL Green, Caesars Entertainment and Roc Nation, the $5.4bn project would see an office-to-hotel conversion of the existing 54-story skyscraper and include 992 guest rooms, a rooftop observatory, and hotel amenities in addition to the lower-level casino. Hotel rooms will boast floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of the skyline.
Brett Herschenfeld, project lead and Executive Vice President, SL Green Realty, said: “With Caesars Palace Times Square, we are bringing an elevated entertainment experience to the world’s greatest entertainment district. Caesars Palace Times Square will not look like a big Las Vegas casino. For example, we won’t have any gaming on the ground floor. Visitors will need to enter our lobby, go through security, and choose to move upstairs onto the gaming floor—raising the barrier to entry and helping make this an intentional destination for gaming, not a place for impulse gamblers.”
