Caesar's Palace store?
The construction of an Apple Store at the Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas may be in doubt, a new report suggests. The outlet would supposedly be opened in the casino's Forum Shops section, next to an aquarium and an Xpress clothing store; while an earlier photo clearly showed the text "Apple Coming Summer 2008" on a facade, a new image shows no such signs.
