The Irish-themed O’Sheas Casino is transforming. It has had a rollicking presence at the center of the Las Vegas Strip since opening in 1989. But the shutdown is not a cause for sadness because fans of O’Sheas will see it return in 2013 as part of The Linq, Caesars Entertainment Corporation’s highly anticipated new development.</div>

The Linq will bring upgrades to three of Caesars Entertainment Corporation's mid-Strip resorts.</div>

Designed by David M. Schwartz Architects and estimated to cost $550 million, The Linq aims to transform the corridor across the street from<a href="http://www.vegas.com/resorts/caesars/" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0854c7; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Caesars Palace</strong></a> – between the <a href="http://www.vegas.com/resorts/flamingo/" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0854c7; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Flamingo</strong></a> and O’Sheas (which is being demolished to make room for the project) – into an urban retail and entertainment complex. In fact, the leasable space, which will wrap around the Flamingo,<a href="http://www.vegas.com/resorts/harrahs2/" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0854c7; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Harrah’s</strong></a> and the <a href="http://www.vegas.com/resorts/imperialpalace/" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0854c7; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank"><strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Imperial Palace</strong></a>, is going to span an area of more than 200,000 square feet. About 70 percent of it will be comprised of restaurants and bars, and the other 30 percent will feature stores and attractions.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
“We are enhancing the allure of the resort experience in a coveted location, introducing an exciting new offering not only for guests occupying our own 24,000 Las Vegas hotel rooms, but also for all who live in and visit Las Vegas,” said Gary Loveman, the chairman, president and CEO of Caesars Entertainment Corporation.</div>

On The Linq’s north side, there will be a walkway leading from the <strong style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="http://www.vegas.com/nightlife/bars/carnavalcourt.html" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #0854c7; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Carnaval Court</a></strong> outdoor plaza at Harrah’s through the Imperial Palace. A footpath will also be built from the south side of The Linq into the Flamingo. Hopes are high that the project will revitalize the heart of the Strip, and with an outdoor pedestrian-friendly focus, it’s expected to be different from anything else in Las Vegas.</div>

The Linq will have 200,000 square feet of space housing restaurants, bars, shops and attractions.</div>
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
Caruso Affiliated has been tasked as the leasing agent for The Linq. The company is nationally known for its award-winning open-air retail developments. Among their most famous is The Grove, which debuted in Los Angeles in 2002. Today, it’s a hotspot in Southern California that attracts more than 18 million visitors annually – including scores of celebrities.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
“We are pleased that Rick Caruso, who has studied this market for years, has chosen Caesars Entertainment Corporation’s Linq as the project to bring his vision to Las Vegas,” said Loveman.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Linq will be targeting a young clientele. Its tenant mix will appeal to people between the ages of 21 and 46 – as their market share is predicted to encompass up to 52 percent of visitor spending in Las Vegas by 2015.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
Without a doubt, the centerpiece at The Linq will be a giant observation wheel called The High Roller. At a whopping 550 feet, it will become the tallest observation wheel in the world. [Note: The Singapore Flyer is currently the world’s tallest observation wheel at 541 feet high – and the famed London Eye, at a mere 443 feet, almost pales by comparison.] Created by Arup Engineering, The High Roller will use an estimated 6.6 million pounds of steel in its construction. There will be 28 cabins designed as transparent spheres. Each one will be able to hold 40 people and provide spectacular bird’s-eye views of the skyline and the greater Las Vegas valley. A full rotation on The High Roller will take about 30 minutes.</div>

A massive 550-foot-tall observation wheel called The High Roller will be the main attraction at The Linq.</div>
</div>

Although an official groundbreaking is to be held later in the year, work has already gotten well underway on The Linq. In addition to the closure of O’Sheas, several businesses around Carnaval Court have closed and been torn down.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
On May 6, a beloved Las Vegas nightspot will close its doors as well. The Rockhouse Bar & Nightclub, a raucous spring break-style club situated in front of the Imperial Palace, is hosting a final day of partying for Cinco de Mayo.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
And this is just the tip of the iceberg for the dramatic changes planned at the Imperial Palace. Over the next year, The Linq will completely transform the hotel’s façade, porte cochère, casino and reception area. The Imperial Palace’s poker room recently made a move from the first floor near the main entrance to the second floor, next to the race and sports book. The small-scale Capri Tower behind the resort has also been brought down. Eventually, even the name “Imperial Palace” will be retired as it will be getting a new identity, courtesy of The Linq.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 10px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">
The Linq is a winning proposition all around. In the coming months it is expected to generate 3,000 construction-related jobs. When The Linq opens next year, it will create at least 1,500 jobs in stores, restaurants and attractions – as well as in the new O’Sheas.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: georgia, 'palatino linotype', palatino, 'times new roman', times, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto; vertical-align: baseline;">

“The Linq is going to be the new address for fun at the center of the Las Vegas Strip,” said Loveman.</div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 20px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The new Ravella hotel is located on the site of the former Ritz Carlton Lake Las Vegas that bankrupted in May of last year. To many, the Ritz Carlton bankruptcy seemed like the terminal blow to the original vision of Lake Las Vegas, the last Gordian knot in a string of bad news and bankruptcies. But the opening of Ravella, and especially from Dolce, hotel managers and operators who specialize in meetings and conferences, seems relevant and positive in the forward evolution of Lake Las Vegas. </span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655621194870046507.post-49160256753539192792010-06-05T22:48:00.000-07:002011-01-15T00:14:43.182-08:00Click here -> Cre8ive Network on Larry King Live...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6S0vq-jFlZQ7CZwLDkA0K7LSWc3tP6qQo3mT9Zin9TxaB0D49ECpAMgYasfq_GvSASPggAGQOyQbi3P6WWTOSz7abZTT-yQLG-LbriUywdtxujqa4k7itOnD8kJkub3YSVD7l5Cjp-TUg/s1600/trump-lking.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6S0vq-jFlZQ7CZwLDkA0K7LSWc3tP6qQo3mT9Zin9TxaB0D49ECpAMgYasfq_GvSASPggAGQOyQbi3P6WWTOSz7abZTT-yQLG-LbriUywdtxujqa4k7itOnD8kJkub3YSVD7l5Cjp-TUg/s320/trump-lking.jpg" /></a></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #9fc5e8; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Sarah Palin reports to Larry King, about Cre8ive Network's brand building aspirations.

Today’s business lexicon will not survive intact. We should know, because we work with a lot of young people.<br /><br />One business thinker doing this already is Umair Haque, a consultant for big business and author of big ideas for the Harvard Business School blog. He has written a preview of tomorrow in something he calls the <a title="http://blogs.harvardbusiness.org/haque/2009/09/is_your_business_innovative_or.html" href="http://blogs.harvardbusiness.org/haque/2009/09/is_your_business_innovative_or.html"><span style="color:#000099;">Awesomeness Manifesto.</span></a><br /><br />Awesomeness may sound like a fuzzy and imprecise term to some. But Haque’s point is that the new generation knows awesomeness when they see it. The Awesomeness Manifesto is full of ideas for business built on sustainable value where the central role is to make the world a better place.And in this post he talks about the power of Love, sustainability, remixing value, and the new way of innovation.<br /><br />Here are the four pillars of his <span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"><strong>Awesomeness Manifesto:<br /></strong></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;"><strong>Ethical production:</strong></span> without an ethical component, awesomeness isn't possible. The buy low, sell high mentality is yesterday’s mantra.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ffff00;">Insanely great stuff:</span></strong> put creativity front and center and you’ll get an emotional reaction from anyone who sees it. Delight the customer.<br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff0000;"><strong>Love:</strong></span> Apple creates products people love. Their employees love to show off how awesome these products are and customers love shopping in Apple stores. Compare this with Best Buy.<br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#000099;">Thick value:</span></strong> this is real, meaningful, and sustainable. Thick value, not thin value, actually makes people better off.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff0000;">Let's summarize.</span></strong> What is awesomeness? Awesomeness happens when thick — real, meaningful — value is created by people who love what they do, added to insanely great stuff, and multiplied by communities who are delighted and inspired because they are authentically better off. That's a better kind of innovation, built for 21st century economics.<br /><br />Finally a business guru and a Production Company that gets it! That is awesome.<br /><br /><br />Cre8ive Network could be your<br />Awesome Resource Partner<br />creating Value In Vegas for you!</div><br /><div align="left"><a href="http://www.cre8ivenetwork.com/">http://www.cre8ivenetwork.com/</a></div><br /><div align="left"></div><br /><div align="left"></div></div>Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18063225679305438356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655621194870046507.post-32179942669008117532009-06-29T01:07:00.000-07:002009-06-29T01:20:45.395-07:00Check out My Vegas<a href="http://www.visitlasvegas.com/vegas/my-vegas/login.jsp"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 124px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5352660148809795970" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjeiD0CQdgjnnuGAHGnjn7anVZrOF8xt18BJfLKE_nVpS7eNLIcLgG_LRO3YifYzRXJDSRvbqFUthWTAj_fm27u2AdiYncTnw5FBbW7RNVAgJTSUGssmZgfGf_0MrHf8cSZI6LXiTt1uA/s400/My+Vegas.png" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://www.visitlasvegas.com/vegas/my-vegas/login.jsp"><span style="color:#ffcc00;">http://www.visitlasvegas.com/vegas/my-vegas/login.jsp</span></a></div>Jameshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18063225679305438356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4655621194870046507.post-61992599486604888472009-05-19T23:09:00.000-07:002009-05-31T21:51:13.711-07:00Meetings Mean Business<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP46ObLjNGXMqUTmv4MxG6tj-lqp9M9obqWDHhXBvkbCmMGZLFqMmZlq9LKsOOPM13dh_n0T-lm7Fy6wPnL6-7TsP2x0E-3Q4og7B6SIahJMts9ocmNxswD4q4PyVPVTPAjYBtp5b5hms/s1600-h/Meetings+mean+business.png"><img style="MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 127px; FLOAT: left; HEIGHT: 131px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5337785324590586930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP46ObLjNGXMqUTmv4MxG6tj-lqp9M9obqWDHhXBvkbCmMGZLFqMmZlq9LKsOOPM13dh_n0T-lm7Fy6wPnL6-7TsP2x0E-3Q4og7B6SIahJMts9ocmNxswD4q4PyVPVTPAjYBtp5b5hms/s400/Meetings+mean+business.png" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><span style="font-size:130%;color:#cccccc;"><strong>About Meetings Mean Business</strong></span></div><span style="color:#000000;"><br /><span style="color:#cccccc;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Meetings Mean Business is a campaign working to protect the millions of American jobs that depend on business travel and events.

RETURN ON YOUR INVESTMENT - One of the most important elements of any business project, product, or decision is the return on investment; how much earned when compared with how much invested. Working closely with you, Cre8ive Network (C8N) will ensure your investments of time, money, and other resources into a program are maximized, providing your participants with the best possible experience while remaining within the agreed budgetary parameters.<br />
<br />
By leveraging C8N’s knowledge, skills, and abilities in the planning and operational phases of an event the client will realize significant savings, decreasing the expense of the event. This savings will exceed any fees related to the C8N engagement, thus collaborating with C8N opens access to subject matter expertise while providing value that simply could not be realized otherwise.<br />
<br />
The wealth of C8N experience and industry insight related to visualizing, pre-planning, developing theme & objectives/incentives/ A/V / staging/set-design/meetings content/exhibits/experiential learning/entertainment/ transportation, logistical support, event operations, set-up/strike, and fiscal reconciliation is all part of our value-added, holistic approach.<br />
<br />
In addition to the direct fiscal savings C8N provides, there are indirect savings as well, by decreasing the time & effort required by your organization to plan and conduct your convention/incentive/event. Thus your people remain focused on conducting core business operations and not wasting time in areas where they may not have well developed knowledge, skills, and abilities e.g. convention/incentive/event planning & operations.<br />
<br />
If you do have an internal team of professionals we're great at integrating resources for seamless execution.<br />
<br />
<strong>Cre8ive Network has extremely low overhead</strong> and seeks to engage all <strong>value producing resources for your incentive/convention/event.<br />
</strong><br />
Return On Investment is the Holy Grail of Conventions/Incentives/Events, but the question has always been how to effectively track and measure it, compile the evaluation in a form that you can appreciate, and use to improve your next meeting.<br />
<br />
Today, the ongoing technological revolution is developing better automated tools that give us a better grasp than ever on your meetings ROI.<br />
<br />
We like to look at five levels of measurement:<br />
<br />
•One—measuring reaction to a meeting, including "enjoyment;"<br />
•Two—tracking the learning that attendees actually take away from the meeting;<br />
•Three—detailing attendee actions that took place as a result of the meeting;<br />
•Four—gauging subsequent impact of the meeting, such as greater productivity or sales, or reduced errors; and<br />
•Five—arriving at an actual return on investment garnered via the previous four levels.<br />
<br />
There's also a sixth level, if you will, which is the impact that can't be converted to money. This could include better branding, cooperation, teamwork, and a variety of intangibles. Every meeting has intangibles.<br />
<br />
While results might be attached to specific meetings in theory, it's not easy in practice, which is why sometimes clients don’t want to be bothered with measuring at all and sometimes we just talk about ROO - Return on Objectives or ROE - Return On Event.<br />
These terms are code for, 'I can't possibly put numbers on this. But you could say you met 20 new customers who might buy your product, or educated 300 physicians on how to effectively administer a particular drug, etc…<br />
<br />
<strong>Most important to us is that your objectives are met and you receive value for your investment of time and money. </strong><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We know this is what’s necessary to earn the right to collaborate on your next event, developing a long term partnership that gets progressively better over time, benefitting everyone.</span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 100%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium;"></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span> <br />

(Event, in this context, is used in a broad sense to include conventions, exhibitions, meetings, celebrations, etc.) This can be a powerful tool in your organization if handled correctly and engineered to extract the maximum amount of benefit available.<br /><br /><span style="color:#99ffff;"><strong>That’s what we do at Cre8ive Network.</strong></span><br /><br />We help you create an event that will become a PEAK EXPERIENCE and market it to your people in a way that will act as a powerful incentive for your people to do whatever it takes to be able to participate – again and again.<br /><br /><span style="color:#99ffff;"><strong>How?</strong></span><br /><br />We have experience integrating incentive elements into your event and sustaining additional incentive elements long afterwards, eventually ramping them up to the next event.<br />•Make it clear that participation will not be automatic for anyone.<br />•Participation in the event could be dependent on the achievement of key business drivers.<br />•Certain criteria may be set to encourage the achievement of desired results ramping up to event registration.<br /><br />The emphasis is always on treating the event itself as a branded PEAK EXPERIENCE. Being able to attend and participate will become your most powerful incentive. Investing in your event is an investment in the primary incentive that drives your most important results.<br /><br /><span style="color:#99ffff;"><strong>YOUR EVENT IS YOUR INCENTIVE!</strong></span><br /><br />Think of it. Handled correctly and marketed strategically, your event can positively impact recruiting, retention and productivity. And it won’t be limited to just your employees.

With more than 140,500 guest rooms, 9.8 million square feet of convention and exhibit space, award-winning restaurants, luxurious spas, fantastic shopping, world class golf, and truly unique entertainment, Las Vegas remains one of the most exciting convention, meeting and incentive destinations in the world.</p><p><strong>Top 10 Reasons There Is So Much Value in Vegas Now:</strong></p><p><strong>•No. 1</strong> Accommodations With more than 140,000 rooms, Las Vegas offers the best group value proposition in the world. </p><p><strong>•No. 2</strong> Convention Services With more than 233,000 resort industry employees, Las Vegas will provide the best convention experience in the world. Our resorts host more than 22,000 meetings, conventions and incentive programs annually, ranging in size from 10 to more than 100,000 attendees. </p><p><strong>•No. 3</strong> Increased Attendance The attractiveness of Las Vegas generates strong attendance for meetings. On average, attendance increases 14% when conventions rotate into Las Vegas. Research also shows that attendees spend more time in meetings and on the trade show floor when programs are held in Las Vegas. </p><p><strong>•No. 4</strong> Convention Centers Space, space and more space. Las Vegas has more than 9.8 million sq. ft. of exhibit space and is home to three of the country's 10 largest convention venues: the Mandalay Bay Convention Center, a 1.7 million-square-foot center on the south Strip; 1.8 million-square foot Sands Expo and Convention Center adjacent to the Venetian; and the 2.3 million-square-foot Las Vegas Convention Center. </p><p>•<strong>No. 5</strong> Air Service With more than 900 flights per day and non-stop service from 130+ US cities, Las Vegas is easy on your time and budget. </p><p>•<strong>No. 6</strong> Location, Location, Location McCarran International Airport is conveniently located just one mile from Las Vegas Boulevard and 3.5 miles from the Las Vegas Convention Center. Over 70,000 hotel rooms are within a 15 minute drive from the airport. </p><p>•<strong>No. 7</strong> Weather Las Vegas averages 320 days of sunshine per year. With an average temperature of 66.3 degrees, annual rainfall of 4.13 inches and humidity around 29 percent, the climate is perfect for meetings held throughout the year. </p><p><strong>•No. 8</strong> Transportation The close proximity of Las Vegas hotels, in many cases, eliminates the need for transportation as delegates can walk to many destinations. When transportation is required, however, Las Vegas offers a myriad of options including bus, taxi, shuttles and the country's first automated monorail. </p><p>•<strong>No. 9</strong> Dining There are few other cities in the world that are able to boast about the wide array of dining options available, from all-you-can-eat-buffets to some of the finest restaurants in the world. Many of the great chefs have set up shop in Las Vegas restaurants, where patrons are consistently rewarded with great food. As a result, Las Vegas has options for every culinary taste. </p><p>•<strong>No. 10</strong> Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, The LVCVA, is the ultimate authority on Las Vegas.
