"We are overjoyed to welcome our loyal guests and dedicated team
members back to Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, the
centerpiece of the famous Las Vegas Strip," said Senior Vice
President and Planet Hollywood General Manager Jason Gregorec. "Our guests can once again enjoy
the unique experiences Planet Hollywood offers, as we continue to
emphasize our enhanced health and safety protocols."
The momentous reopening of Planet Hollywood was celebrated in
true Hollywood fashion with a
showstopping dance number complete with paparazzi, bringing back
the glamour of the resort to the Strip. Regional President of
Caesars Entertainment Gary Selesner
and Senior Vice President and Planet Hollywood General Manager
Jason Gregorec welcomed guests back
and thanked team members for their hard work and dedication as they
prepared to reopen the doors.
Founded by Robert Earl, the
Planet Hollywood brand is known for its superstar entertainment,
major movie premieres, A-list celebrity guests and more. Given
this, Anthony Anderson,
notable actor and producer of the hit television show "Black-ish,"
made a surprise appearance and joined Selesner and Gregorec in a
countdown to the official reopening of the doors that commenced
with a spectacle of confetti cannons and cheers. Anderson, who is a
friend of Earl's, said he could only answer "yes" when asked to
participate in the reopening, as he attended the grand opening of
the property in 2007. Additionally, the first two casino guests to
play at Planet Hollywood included Bill
Wagner, who ceremoniously rolled the first dice at a craps
table, and Larry Garber, who played
the first slot machine.
