In a news release Tuesday, the casino announced it will be reopening its doors to select members. Only slot machines will be available to a maximum of 50 guests at a time. Due to the limited number of people allowed indoors, the casino will only be open to invited Caesars Rewards members until capacity limits expand.

115 Unifor staff coming back to work
Unifor Local 444, the union representing the casino's workers, posted additional details of the reopening to its Facebook page Tuesday.
Chairperson Dana Dunphy said the union has been told the casino will be open seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 2 a.m. No amenities or third party vendors will be allowed to open and only non-alcoholic refreshments will be offered.
On top of the 83 people currently working at Caesers, Dunphy said the company will recall 115 staff, including: janitors, restroom cleaners, slot attendants, Caesars Rewards representatives, cashiers, bankers, auditors, beverage bartenders, bar porters, Av technicians, tailors and security personnel.
The recalls will take place before Oct. 8 so each department can be trained under the new operating procedures.
According to the union, the casino is looking at giving customers four-hour sessions. Only the first floor will be open and each customer will have to complete a health screening before passing security.

Management at Caesars Windsor has released a revised schedule of shows playing its Colosseum.
With the entertainment and gaming complex closed since spring due to the COVID-19 pandemic, scheduled shows at the signature venue had to be cancelled or postponed. The casino released an updated schedule of displaced acts this week.
Despite Ontario's Stage Three reopening allowing gaming halls to reopen with up to 50 people on the premises at once, Caesars Windsor remains closed until further notice.
'The Colosseum remains temporarily closed at this time. We continue to closely monitor and follow the government guidelines and look forward to restarting our Colosseum show programming with a commitment to providing a comfortable environment for our guests,' Caesars said in a release. 'In the meantime, we are working diligently with the artists' agencies to confirm new dates into 2021. We would like to thank our guests for their understanding and patience as we work through these challenging circumstances together.'
The following shows have confirmed new dates for 2021.
- Pitbull – March 28
- Sebastian Maniscalco – May 19-21 for a total of three shows
- REO Speedwagon – June 4
- Schitt's Creek – June 27
- Bachman Cummings – July 25
- Shinedown – August 7
The acts Ice Cube, Bill Burr, Jason Derulo, and Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons have yet to schedule new dates in 2021.
The shows scheduled during the pandemic that have been cancelled include Tony Bennett, Kesha, Loverboy and George Thorogood, the Steve Miller Band, Styx, and Tash Sultana.
