Caesars Entertainment Vancouver Office Launch

Some of my best memories have been in Las Vegas, to be quite honest. And yes, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Except for this one, which was my very first international conference. I organized a panel at the Annual Meeting of the Latin American Studies Association and it was my very first successful international panel. And guess where it was? In Las Vegas. And despite my predictions, all of my panelists did show up to their panels. But we all were thrilled to have a chance to visit iconic places there, including the Caesars’ Palace.

Many of my good friends in Vancouver tend to go to Las Vegas for their holidays, and it’s almost a sure fact that they end up visiting the Caesars’ Palace. My own brother got married in Las Vegas! So it’s not a surprise that Caesars Entertainment (formerly Harrah’s Entertainment) decided to open a new sales and marketing office in Yaletown Vancouver. It does make perfect sense. And Caesars Entertainment hired an absolute pro to run things – my good friend Alex Lee-Behan.

To kick off the launch of the new office Caesars threw a big bash for their clients and VIP at Joe Fortes. Ten executives traveled up in a jet to attend. Caesars has now opened new offices in Chicago, New York, Dallas and now Vancouver, BC. I totally love Joe Fortes, even if I’m not a big fan of oysters. It was funny to hear that 800 oysters were shucked. I did get an in on one of the 9 giant seafood towers. Also, the champagne flowed and I got a chance to enjoy many of the appetizers (since almost none of them had cheese, yay!).

As I’ve said before, Alex Lee-Behan always throws the best parties, I have to admit. She is “in the know”, and has an amazing ability to ensure that the events she organizes are well covered. It was a great evening to hang out with a few select Vancouver media personalities, many of whom you may recognize (amongst them Dawn Chubai, Catherine Barr, and of course my lovely Plus One for the evening Yvonne Yuen)

I asked Alex about why did Caesars decide to open an office in Vancouver, although as I mentioned above, it does make perfect sense to me. Alex said to me

Caesars Entertainment is about the experience. We want our customers to get the best of everything; service, food, casinos and hotel amenities. We would love the opportunity to plan people’s next getaway to Las Vegas, Tahoe or even New Orleans. We’re bringing a more personal host approach to Vancouver.

If you’d like to stay at a Caesars Entertainment property, such as Caesars Palace, Paris and Planet Hollywood, you can call the Caesars Entertainment Vancouver Office at 604.568.9288 or email Alex Lee Behan at abehan@caesars.com.
