The Roman fountains, toga-clad staff, marble lobbies, and world-class entertainment positioned Caesars as the benchmark of American luxury hospitality. Six decades later, the Caesars brand has expanded globally — Caesars Atlantic City, Caesars Southern Indiana, Caesars London, Caesars Dubai — carrying the Roman luxury aesthetic and its famous entertainment heritage to new markets while maintaining the brand's signature excess and indulgence. **Caesars Brand Metrics** | Metric | Value | |---|---| | Founded | 1966 | | Global Properties | 50+ hotels and resorts | | Total Rooms | 45,000+ | | Casino Operations | 40+ gaming properties | | Caesars Rewards Members | 65 M+ | | Entertainment Events Annually | 10,000+ | | Brand Recognition (US) | #1 casino hospitality brand | --- ### Caesars Bluewaters Dubai — The Island Property **Property Overview** | Feature | Detail | |---|---| | Location | Bluewaters Island, Dubai | | Hotel Classification | 5-star deluxe | | Room Count | 290 rooms + suites | | Dining Outlets | Multiple F&B concepts | | Caesars Rewards | Earn and burn at all Caesars global properties | | Spa | Qua Baths and Spa (signature Caesars wellness brand) | | Entertainment | Live programming, events, signature experiences | | Beach Access | Private beach adjacent to JBR | | Ain Dubai | 30 seconds walk (world's largest observation wheel) | | Opening | 2018 | --- ### Bluewaters Island — Dubai's Newest Waterfront Masterplan Bluewaters Island is a man-made island developed by Meraas off the coast of JBR (Jumeirah Beach Residence), connected to the mainland by a dedicated bridge and to the Palm Jumeirah and JBR by pedestrian promenades and water taxis. **Bluewaters Island Key Facts** | Feature | Detail | |---|---| | Developer | Meraas | | Size | 1.86 km² | | Residential Units | 10 residential buildings (Caesars + Bluewaters Residences) | | Ain Dubai | World's largest observation wheel (250 m) | | Retail | Bluewater Shops (boutiques, dining) | | Beach | Adjacent to JBR Beach (600m) | | Hotel Properties | Caesars Bluewaters, Caesars Palace | | Drive to DXB Airport | 28 min | | Drive to Downtown | 25 min | | Drive to Marina | 10 min | --- ### Caesars Residences — The Branded Residence Proposition Caesars Residences at Bluewaters Dubai offers residential owners access to the full Caesars hotel service infrastructure: **Caesars Residence Owner Benefits** | Benefit | Detail | |---|---| | 24-hour concierge | Full Caesars hotel concierge access | | Housekeeping | Daily or scheduled hotel-grade housekeeping | | Room service | In-residence dining from Caesars F&B outlets | | Pool access | Hotel pool complex access | | Spa access | Qua Baths and Spa at preferred rates | | Restaurant priority | Priority reservations at all Caesars dining outlets | | Caesars Rewards | Points earned on all property charges | | Events access | Priority access to Caesars entertainment events | | Managed rental | Optional STR management through Caesars | | Valet parking | ✓ | --- ### Drive Times from Caesars Bluewaters Dubai | Destination | Drive Time | |---|---| | Dubai International Airport | 28 min | | Downtown Dubai / Burj Khalifa | 25 min | | Mall of the Emirates | 12 min | | Dubai Marina | 10 min | | JBR Beach | 5 min walk | | Palm Jumeirah | 15 min | | DIFC | 25 min | | Abu Dhabi | 80 min | --- ### Ain Dubai — The World's Largest Observation Wheel Ain Dubai (Eye of Dubai) opened in October 2021 on Bluewaters Island as the world's tallest and largest observation wheel at 250 metres. The structure dominates the Dubai skyline from every direction and is visible from 50+ kilometres — making it one of the most recognisable landmarks in the Middle East. Ain Dubai's presence transforms Bluewaters from a residential development into a tourism destination — generating a constant flow of visitors who drive the F&B, retail, and short-term rental demand that underpins Caesars Residences' investment thesis. **Ain Dubai Key Facts** | Metric | Value | |---|---| | Height | 250 metres | | Diameter | 210 metres | | Cabin Capacity | 40 cabins × 40 passengers = 1,600 simultaneous visitors | | Annual Visitors | 1M+ (projected) | | Experience Types | Standard, private dining, sports screening, Coca-Cola (branded cabin) | | Operating Hours | Daily; enhanced holiday schedule | --- ### Short-Term Rental Performance — Caesars STR Premium Bluewaters-Caesars branded residences are among Dubai's most sought-after short-term rental addresses, commanding ADR premiums driven by the Caesars brand, the Ain Dubai landmark, and the JBR beach proximity. **STR Performance Benchmarks (Bluewaters, 2024)** | Unit Type | ADR Range | Annual Occupancy | Gross STR Yield | |---|---|---|---| | Studio | AED 700–1,000 | 74% | 9.0–13% | | 1 Bedroom | AED 900–1,500 | 70% | 8.0–12% | | 2 Bedroom | AED 1,400–2,200 | 67% | 7.0–10% | | 3 Bedroom | AED 2,000–3,500 | 63% | 6.5–9.5% | Caesars Rewards' 65 million global members provide an organic demand channel for branded residence rentals — reducing OTA dependence and commission costs for investors who use Caesars' managed rental programme. --- ### Investment Case — Why Caesars Branded Residences? **1.

Caesars Residences owners can list through the Caesars managed rental programme with access to this global distribution. **5.
