Caesars Postpones Concerts, Events In April

An ongoing strike has led Caesars Windsor to postpone all Colosseum shows, conventions, events, and meetings for the rest of April.

Hotel reservations are also being cancelled for the rest of the month.

"It was a very difficult decision to postpone the remainder of April concerts and events and cancel hotel reservations. Ultimately our commitment to customer service means being proactive and giving our patrons and clients advance notice in the event they need to make alternative plans," said Kevin Laforet, regional president for Caesars Entertainment, in a news release.

There are currently no plans for the two sides to return to the bargaining table. Around 2,300 Caesars Windsor employees have been on strike since a tentative agreement was voted down late Thursday.

Colosseum shows that will be rescheduled include Buddy Guy, David Foster, and Terry Fator. Ticket holders can keep their tickets for the future date or get a refund through the original method of purchase. However, box office refunds will only be processed once the labour disruption is resolved.
