LAS VEGAS (AP) — Billionaire hospitality mogul Tilman Fertitta is acquiring Caesars Entertainment for almost $6 billion, a merger that would create one of the largest gaming empires.
Caesars became an iconic name after the opening of Caesar’s Palace on the Las Vegas Strip in 1966. But its roots date back to the 1930s in Reno, Nevada. It operates nine hotels on the Strip and owns properties in over a dozen states.
