Caesars hopes the weight of the Brooklyn-born celebrity can boost its chances of securing a New York licence.
Shawn Carter, better known as rapper and entrepreneur Jay-Z, has sold millions of records, performed at the world’s most iconic venues and married Beyonce.
On Wednesday, though, the mogul hosted another milestone performance, looking far from flashy dressed in a suit and stuffed into a nondescript meeting room.
Jay-Z’s Roc Nation company is partnering with SL Green and Caesars Entertainment for the Caesars Palace Times Square (CPTS) bid to obtain one of three downstate New York casino licences. Representatives were on hand for the project’s first community advisory committee meeting.
Jay-Z appeared reserved and almost anxious as he spoke, a far cry from his famous Brooklyn braggadocio.
“I’m trying to reserve myself – it’s a very good idea,” Jay-Z said quietly, searching for the right words. “Very good alignment for us to fulfill the promise of Times Square.”
He added that his proposal “is not coming to compete with Broadway”, as local actors’ unions and theatres have contended. Rather, CPTS would be “additive” to the industry, he said. One of his first calls, he noted, was to Disney CEO Bob Iger to work out a solution to keep “The Lion King” musical at the site.
“Anything that we’ve done in the past [at Roc Nation], we always included the community,” Jay-Z said.
Caesars is the biggest-name casino operator among the eight bidders, which really might be seven with the Bally’s proposal all but dead due to zoning issues. Caesars, in its presentation, boasted of 53 properties across North America with more than 50,000 employees. This breadth of destination and regional casinos is noteworthy, as Caesars is pitching CPTS as a mix between the two.

It's all love I think. It's good competition and very inspirational for the youth and all the elders out there. Just keep going life is not a quick dash!
