CETV · ABOUT US · WHO WE ARE

Built By A Lifetime In Music And Entertainment.

Casino Entertainment Television was not built by a corporation or a committee. It was built by Lawrence H. Smith — a music and entertainment industry veteran with 40 years of experience — who looked at the casino entertainment world and saw something extraordinary that nobody had yet covered the way it deserved.

Our Story

LAWRENCE H. SMITH · FOUNDER AND CEO · CASINO ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION, INC.

Meet Lawrence.

Lawrence H. Smith is a veteran multimedia producer with more than 40 years of experience as a producer and executive producer across television music film and webcasting. Throughout his career Smith has been recognized for one defining ability — identifying emerging media platforms before the mainstream catches up and building the ventures that define them.

In 1980 he created and executive produced Hollywood Heartbeat — the first weekly music television series in the United States hosted by Bob Welch of Fleetwood Mac — which directly inspired the creation of MTV. The series aired in over 84 US markets including all of the Top 10 broadcasting across ABC CBS NBC independent networks and syndicated internationally through Gold Key Media.

The record labels supplied their premier music videos to Hollywood Heartbeat show at no cost, valuing the exposure as promotional material — Lawrence built the platform and sold advertising against the audience those videos attracted, with sponsors including Coca-Cola, Coors Beer, Max Factor, and Nintendo. That principle — content flows in at little or no cost, and the platform earns from the value of the audience it builds — is the same principle CETV applies today, paired with a modern placement-fee model built for 2026.

Smith executive produced the multi-platinum award-winning Warner Home Video release The Doors: Tribute to Jim Morrison — MTV's first-ever concert special — which has since become a rockumentary staple on music channels worldwide. In 2000 Smith also co-executive produced, with partner Ray Manzarek of The Doors, one of the world's first live worldwide webcast concerts: Ray Manzarek — Light My Fire: A Return to the Whisky a Go Go — produced in partnership with London's Virtue Broadcasting UK and MSN UK and was recognized that year as one of the most acclaimed live webcast events globally.

His visionary pattern is consistent across four decades. Lawrence H. Smith arrives at a new media platform before the mainstream knows it exists — builds something extraordinary on it — and watches the world catch up. Music video television in 1980. The concert rockumentary in the home video era. The live worldwide webcast in the early internet age. And now — Casino Entertainment Television — the streaming platform that the casino entertainment world has needed for decades and never had.

Over the past decades, several respected voices in entertainment and casino hospitality have told Lawrence they'd want to be part of this if he ever built it — a quiet vote of confidence from people who know the industry. Those relationships remain in place today, reducing execution risk without pre-committing key roles, and giving an investor the flexibility to help shape the team directly rather than stepping into positions already filled.

Smith holds a B.A. in Fine Arts from Fairleigh Dickinson University Madison, New Jersey.

THE CETV STORY

Why Casino Entertainment TV - CETV

The casino entertainment world is one of the most extraordinary lifestyle destinations on earth. A $122 billion US gaming industry, according to the 2025 American Gaming Association State of The States and the National Indian Gaming Commission. 134 million Americans visited a casino in the past year alone. The greatest concert performers in the world playing casino resort stages every night. World-class celebrity chef restaurants. Award-winning spas. Championship golf courses. Luxury hotel suites — nearly half of all casino resort revenue now comes from these amenities, not the gaming floor itself. Sports betting culture that has transformed how Americans watch live sports. Nearly one quarter of Las Vegas visitors never gamble at all, drawn purely by the lifestyle experience. And not one single platform covering all of it the way it deserves to be covered.

ESPN covers sports. Billboard covers music. Travel and Leisure covers hospitality. But nobody covers casino entertainment — the intersection of all of these worlds — as a unified lifestyle destination. That gap is what Lawrence H. Smith identified. And Casino Entertainment Television is what he is building to fill it.

CETV is not another Las Vegas dot com. It covers casino entertainment on six continents — from the floating green at Coeur d'Alene in Idaho to the Grand Lisboa Palace in Macau — from Le Louis XV in Monaco to Guy Fieri's Smokehouse on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The casino entertainment world is bigger and more diverse and more extraordinary than anyone has yet told the story. CETV is telling that story.
