Gastwirth joined Caesars Entertainment in 2011, after a year as entertainment director at the Palms. Prior to that tenure, Gastwirth spent nearly four years with Las Vegas Sands, where he brokered entertainment deals for the Venetian/Palazzo and also Macao and Singapore.
Under Gastwirth’s tenure, Caesars Entertainment entered into an exclusive booking partnership with Live Nation at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, and Bakkt Theater at Planet Hollywood.
