Caesars Entertainment executive Eric Hession isn’t concerned that Caesars Palace, Paris Las Vegas or any of the company’s six other Strip resorts are going to lose customers to the small, independently owned The Resort at Summerlin Casino.

That’s one reason why Hession, president of Caesars Digital, OKed the placement of a 6,000-square-foot Caesars Race and Sportsbook within the 63,000-square-foot locals’ casino that, until a 2025 rebrand, was known as the Rampart Casino, rather than using a William Hill sportsbook in the location.

The deal marked the second time Caesars is operating the company’s sports betting brand outside of one of its casinos.
