few pics and some updates
Zavier is moving along at a nice pace
Caesars convention center/Poydras entrance
Talked with the GM Samir last night and forgot to ask him everything
He said that they are 1 week behind on the renovations but to me, 1 week is realy good for what they are doing
for now, the Steakhouse will remain untouched but in the future could undergo a renovation, its the only thing in that area that is untouched
Nola.com got their info confused and led to news being reported that Nobu restaurant wont open until the new hotel opens, which is false, the nobu hotel (2 floors inside the new hotel) will open with the new hotel in September
Nobu restaurant opens in July
the new center bar is not going to be named "Oculous", they picked another name a while back but someone in the city had that name and the rights to it, but it will bare the name of one of Caesars Palace Las Vegas towers, "Octavious" opens July
Convention Center/Poydras entrance, slated for May opening. they need to get a move on for that one
forgot to ask when the Canal street smoking section would open, its close but still no machines out yet
If you ever noticed they jazz band figures surrounding the inside roof area of Masquerade, they didnt scrap them, they worked out a deal and found a new home at Blaine Kern Mardi Gras World
I cant find who asked a while back about if they were going to do Harrahs hotel up as Caesars and they originally were but things do change and with them no longer spending money to renovate Fulton Street with the covered canopy and such, Harrahs hotel will stay and operate as Harrahs Hotel, it will get an interior renovation in the future
