Caesars Palace has continuously evolved through the past five decades to become the leader on the Las Vegas Strip. From bringing the biggest names in entertainment including five-time Grammy Award winner Celine Dion to an unmatched collection of celebrity chefs, top sporting and special events, luxury accommodations, premier shopping and the best in gaming action to Las Vegas, Caesars Palace continues to demonstrate its commitment to the next 50 years.

Key to the ongoing success of the iconic resort are its dedicated employees. Caesars Palace is proud to have five, year-one employees (Pete George, Pamela Price, Jim Dunbar, Benny Figgins and John O'Connell) including Jim Dunbar who has been a faithful team member since day one Aug. 5, 1966.
