...existing facilities, particularly in Las Vegas," said Gary Loveman, Caesars Entertainment's chairman president and chiefchief executive officer. "We opened the Nobu Hotel and restaurant at Caesars Palace, began the conversion of the former Bill's Gamblin Hall & Saloon into a luxury lifestyle resort to be known as Gansevoort Las Vegas and continued work on the Linq retail, dining and entertainment experience expected to open in phases beginning in the fourth quarter. We also continued with room upgrades at The Quad Resort & Casino and Bally's Las Vegas. "On the other hand, Atlantic City continued to struggle with economic and competitive pressures and a slow recovery from the impact of Hurricane Sandy, while a nationwide slowdown in casino customer spending as the year began and the strong growth recorded in the 2012 first quarter resulted in an unfavorable comparison for the 2013 first quarter," said Loveman. "In concert with Rock Gaming, we opened Horseshoe Cincinnati in March and last month celebrated the opening of Thistledown Racino near Cleveland," he said. "We also continued efforts to win a gaming license with Suffolk Downs in Boston and presented our vision of an integrated resort to officials in Toronto. "Last month, we announced that our board of directors has approved the material terms of a transaction including the formation of Caesars Growth Partners, an entity that will own our stake in Caesars Interactive EntertainmentEntertainment Inc., Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas and our joint-venture interests in Horseshoe Baltimore," Loveman said. "This transaction will help strengthen our balance sheet and our ability to pursue growth opportunities." Financial Results"
"We're not afraid," Switzer said. "We're Americans. We just accept challenges and we go out on the front line. We're patriots. We don't back off from anything."
