CET's bankruptcy reorganization just got hit (I think) with a mortal stab wound. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2015-07-22/caesars-loses-bid-to-halt-suits-that-may-put-it-into-bankruptcy-icf4tls7

Nope! Not yet Kenny. The judges ruling allows both of Caesars corporations to be exposed to pending lawsuits which could end up being catastrophic for the current owners/administration of CET. You'll have to wait and try to time it right to buy their stock once after the dust settles - which may take a while because it's going to be a real "shit storm".

CPT What might end up happening is that CET will be forced by the courts to liquidate. That means selling off a few, many, or maybe all of their properties to whoever wants to buy them at fire sale prices just to pay back what's owed to their creditors : /

I will be a buyer but not yet I think they will resolve it if not they will file for protection like alot of buss. have done and if the deal is right a guy could do well but it will take at least 5 years after for the boyz on wall street to forgive them so you can't be in a hurry. imo

Exactly and if they get new financing they could buy their own stuff back on the real cheap. I've seen it happen alot before.

I can't imagine anyone would scoop up their AC properties with how much a struggle it was to give away Revel. Plus they want to stick a water park in the Atlantic Club, plenty of time! Hehe

I think they would only buy back Harrah's and Caesars honestly if they if forced to sell some of their underperforming properties it might be a blessing in disguise

I keep reading about "Good Caesars properties" and "Bad Caesars properties."
I wonder if there is a list available to the public which shows the revenue and profit statistics on all their properties so that we can determine which of those "bad" properties might be closed or sold?

I just got into the TR and RC program a little over a year ago and really like he fact that I can stay in a hotel room free in just about every state and also accumulate TR and RC credits. Also the free airfare, FP, and F&B offers makes the TR program the best of any other casino chain!

I would really hate to see them sell any of their properties that I play at.

Whether the properties are considered good or bad won't mean much now Gene. Sorry to say, but I believe that all of them will be tightening up more now than ever on comp's, slot machines, table games, service, etc.. Time will tell how this bankruptcy goes.... Are there any MLife properties close to you? Their comp system is good also and they are still pretty solid financially.

I'm sorry to hear that Gene. But I'm sure that there are other options available to you besides CET properties. Personally, I haven't liked CET properties for the past few years because of their weak financials which told me that they aren't going to be very generous when it came to gambling. Maybe "Fly Borgata" (AC) reaches out West to your area? You can always call them to find out @ 609-317-7878 or go to "flyborgata.com" to see if they do? The Borgata is a Boyd Gaming and MLife property (50/50 joint effort) which both have their other separate properties in Vegas and elsewhere in the U.S..

Amusing just the Octavius Tower at Caesars LV is exempt.
Welcome to "Wynn Palace. You'll be in the Roman Tower tonight. Walk past the Octavius Tower elevators, we don't own that tower. Enjoy your stay!"

Currently we are receiving about 20 to 25% of theoretical losses back in FP from Cleveland Horseshoe plus free rooms/jr. suites at Ritz Carlton. I'd say that's not bad at all. Headed to Cleveland Friday to get new Diamond card for MrsPenguin. Atlantic City Caesars in 3 weeks. Not worried about BK at all. Cleveland Horseshoe has highest payouts of all casinos/racinos in Ohio. Tightly regulated. No need to screw with payouts as casinos are cash cow.

Hey, you never know how this will all turn out Kenny? The CEO of Caesars (CET) is a product of the Wall St. bankers. He was an economics professor at one of the top Ivy League universities before being recruited by Goldman Sachs and then finally onto Caesars. He is a well educated and well trained (by Goldman Sachs) corporate implosion artist. These kind of people like to bankrupt everyone and everything for their own personal gain.

So that's why our country is in such a financial mess. Many former Goldman players are in the current administration.[emoji3]

CET no longer owns any part of the Ohio casinos, they sold their % to majority owner Rock. At this point, they simply run the rewards programs. At some point in the future, I expect that to change.

Call it The Jokers Wild Gambling Emporium

We all are from the camp that keeping payouts high will result in a packed casino.

We'd have to invent a way for the hotel to operate without a staff so it wouldn't eat up our money on labor costs. The challenge of doing business in the 21st century...

Well said. I have met more than a few investment bankers in my time and have several observations: (i) they constantly complain about how hard they work, e.g., "the last time I took a vacation was in 1987"; (ii) they never really work any near as hard as they lead you to believe; and (iii) they add very little to a deal short of putting a buyer and seller together -- that sounds like it might be worth a lot, but it really isn't and they get paid incredible sums of money to do it.
