About Las Vegas Meetings by Harrah's Entertainment
The 2005 merger between Harrah's Entertainment and Caesars Entertainment
launched a ground-breaking philosophy aimed at offering more choices to
meeting planners by unifying the meeting sales and operations of nine
distinctive Las Vegas properties into a single city-wide operation under
one leadership umbrella. This unique concept led to the creation of Las
Vegas Meetings by Harrah's Entertainment, which comprises some of Las
Vegas' most notable properties: Bally's Las Vegas, Caesars Palace,
Flamingo Las Vegas, Harrah's Las Vegas, Imperial Palace, Paris Las Vegas,
Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino, PH Towers by Westgate and Rio
All-Suite Hotel & Casino. The combination offers 1 million square feet of
cumulative meeting space, 22,000 guest rooms and suites, and countless
options for dining, entertainment and leisure. The distinct advantage for
the planner is the convenience and leverage of one contact and one
contract, combined with the access and freedom to enjoy the wide variety
of venues and amenities across all nine Las Vegas properties.
