Tilman Fertitta’s Billion Dollar Interest in Caesars Entertainment

Tilman Fertitta, famously known as the owner of the Houston Rockets and Landry’s Inc., has been named as one of the parties interested in buying Caesars Entertainment. The other dominant bidder in the potential deal is Eldorado Resorts. At this point the board of Caesars Entertainment has made no final decision, this despite other reports stating that the board is close to approving a proposition to put the multibillion-dollar company up for sale. Billionaire, Tilman Fertitta, was allegedly invited by Caesars Entertainment recently to perform some due diligence on the company using the company’s financial records. Caesars is currently worth $5.6 billion on the Nasdaq stock market; however, the company is reportedly in debt of $18 billion.  This would not be the first time Fertitta steps into the world of gambling, as he already successfully runs five Golden Nuggets Casinos. Carl Icahn, a billionaire investor, is among those pushing for the sale of Caesars Entertainment. According to reports, an announcement is looming from Caesars Entertainment in the coming days.
