The firm is primarily scouting for management partnerships, but is also open to investing in properties. "We will look at big cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, besides tapping locations like Goa and Tier-II markets," Chanani said. Many of them are in the Las Vegas strip, known for its casino business. Internationally, Caesars has about 15 destinations for live entertainment events like concerts, musicals, drama and stand-up comedy events. "The entertainment offering could be a differentiating factor for Caesars in India in comparison to other hospitality companies," Dahiya said.Ĭaesars' entry will mean that India could host performances by music stars Elton John, Celine Dion and Rod Stewart, and stand-up comedian Jerry Seinfeld, who all have traditionally been associated with the hotel's entertainment properties such as The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. "Though the market is not evolved yet and is still unstructured, with the success of Formula 1 (Grand Prix), Kingdom of Dreams (alive entertainment destination), bowling destinations in the country, it is clear that Indians are willing to experiment beyond films and F&B and spend money," he said. "In case of non-gaming entertainment, this could be the right time for Caesars to evaluate and introduce new concepts in India," Vivek Dahiya, CEO of real estate consultancy GenReal, said.
