Gary Selesner was the longest-serving president ever at Caesars Palace. But that duration does not paint the complete picture of his career.

Selesner was responsible for some of the most distinctive and successful restaurants, shows and amenities during the resort’s remarkable evolution over the past two decades.

Popular among customers and colleagues and highly regarded in the resort industry, Selesner died Monday at age 71. No cause has yet been reported, but Selesner had been in ill health for months.

Selesner had been president of Caesars Palace from 2001-22, and an exec with the company for nearly 24 years up until his recent retirement.
