Caesars Entertainment Corp. shares plummeted Wednesday after a judge refused to block creditor lawsuits against the casino operator. Shares, which have been halted at least five times Wednesday because of volatility, fell 36% to $5.03 on above-average volume. Caesars placed its largest unit under Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in January, a move opposed by creditors. Shares closed up 22% Tuesday on hopes the judge would block the suits.
