Press Release
LAS VEGAS, NV -- As part of its ongoing goal to enhance the customer experience, Park Place Entertainment (NYSE:PPE)
introduced a new airport check-in service at its Bally's Las Vegas casino resort.
Park Place Entertainment, working with Certified Airline Passenger Service (C.A.P.S.), will offer a program enabling
guests to check baggage and receive seat assignments and boarding passes from two to 12 hours in advance of flight
departure for a nominal fee.
In anticipation of a successful trial period at Bally's Las Vegas, Park Place expects to introduce this service
later this year at its sister Las Vegas casino resorts including Flamingo Las Vegas, the Las Vegas Hilton, Paris
Las Vegas and -- following the acquisition with Caesars World -- Caesars Palace. All necessary FAA approvals to
implement this service have been received.
Park Place Entertainment is the world's largest gaming company, as measured by casino square footage and revenues,
and is currently the only casino gaming company with a leading presence in Nevada, New Jersey and Mississippi --
the three largest gaming markets in the United States.
The Company owns or has an interest in 17 gaming properties located throughout the United States and in Australia
and Uruguay, with a total of 1.4 million square feet of gaming space and approximately 23,500 hotel rooms.
In April, Park Place Entertainment entered into a definitive agreement to purchase Caesars and other gaming assets
of Starwood Hotels & Resorts. The transaction is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 1999 pending regulatory
approval.
