Caesars
Entertainment, the US casino owner that operates five casinos
in Las Vegas, including the Caesars Palace and Flamingo complexes,
and 28 worldwide had been aiming to open a lavish gambling
resort on the site of the new Wembley stadium.
However,
the number of proposed super casinos in the UK has been cut
from eight to one in order to rush the legislation through
Parliament. Tessa Jowell, Culture Secretary, struck a deal
with her shadow Cabinet counterpart John Whittingdale to save
the Government's Gambling Bill before Parliament dissolved
ahead of the General Election.
The location of the "One" is still to be announced
but most experts believe Blackpool is favourite, which would
leave Caesars Wembley out in the cold.
If and when the casino finally opens its doors, you'll find
a comprehensive and fully independent review right here. Please
check back periodically.

In the meantime CEI are suing Gamble.co.uk
for the domain name caesars-wembley.com.
CEI do not own any relevent trademarks in the UK.
The dot-com suffix is a gTLD not a ccTLD like CEI's attorneys seem
to believe. Do Americans really believe dot-com is the sole right
for American companies? It appears so.
Wembley
is a well-known location in the UK - not America.
Ask a Brit what "Caesars" is and the first answer you
will get is "a salad", followed by "a Roman leader".
Very few, if any, will say a casino. Therefore passing off and public
confusion is not an issue.
Finally, we refer the judge to California Appeals Court decision
Bosley Medical versus Kremer dated April 4, 2005. |
