In the spirit of holiday giving, Caesars invited Las Vegas Team
Members to pick up a frozen turkey and cookies from December 21-24. On December 22, Penn & Teller, Piff
the Magic Dragon, as well as performers from
Chippendales, WOW – The Vegas Spectacular, X
Burlesque and X Country, joined Caesars Entertainment
Regional President Gary Selesner
and Senior Vice President and Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino
General Manager Steve
Ellis at the holiday distribution while the resort
reopened its doors that morning. Christmas music and decorations
created a festive atmosphere as Team Members drove through the Rio
parking lot for the contactless giveaway.
"In two weeks, Penn & Teller will celebrate its
20th anniversary at Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino,"
said Penn Jillette. "As the longest-running headliners in
Las Vegas, part of that success is
owed to our amazing colleagues at Rio, and we are pleased to join
today to thank them and all of my hard-working Caesars
Entertainment Las Vegas co-workers."
"This holiday distribution to our Caesars Entertainment Las
Vegas Team Members is a token of our sincere appreciation for their
dedication this year," said Caesars Entertainment Regional
President Gary Selesner. "We are
hopeful this gift will help make this time of year a little
brighter and provide some holiday cheer for our Team Members and
their families."
"It is an important day for the Rio as we finally end a long
nine-month closure and reopen the final Caesars Entertainment
property in Las Vegas to guests,"
said Senior Vice President and Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino
General Manager Steve Ellis.
"However, and arguably even more importantly, reopening means we
welcome back our incredibly talented Rio Team Members. Their
patience and tenacity through this difficult time make this moment
even more special, and we thank them and Dreamscape, the new owner
of the property, for the smooth transition as we begin to entertain
our guests again."
