Caesars Entertainment Corp. Chief Executive Officer Mark Frissora wants to develop more than 90 acres the company owns in Las Vegas, including land right in front of Caesars Palace, after its largest unit emerges from bankruptcy later this year.
“We have a lot of real estate that’s underutilized,” Frissora said in an interview with Bloomberg TV Thursday. “We have plans to basically develop all of that very valuable center-strip property as soon as we emerge. Those assets will have a very high-return, low-risk profile.”
Caesars, the largest owner of casinos in the U.S., has struggled under a mountain of debt since a $30 billion leveraged buyout in 2008. In January of 2015, the company put its largest division, Caesars Entertainment Operating Co., into

The Las Vegas-based company has enjoyed growth in sales and profit over the past two years, due in part to a strategy of renovating hotel rooms and searching for cost savings in places ranging from parking lots to guest check-in. Caesars hosted a nearly three-hour-long presentation for analysts in Las Vegas Thursday.
