What are the plans of Caesars Entertainment?
The Horseshoe casinos are popular as they have properties in Maryland, Illinois, Louisiana, Iowa and Mississippi. It was founded by Texas gambling icon and magnate Benny Binion. Later it was run by Jack Binion his son. Jack Binion made a casino for the gamblers and the players known for best odds, highest limit and biggest jackpots. He started working in the property in 2020. They are now happy that they are again going to tie with Las Vegas. They are expecting many new players who are eager to experience Las Vegas Strip.
The work of renovating the 2,810-room property will start this spring. They will first start with the poker room and then work their way towards the exterior, casino floor and other areas. The hotels are not included in the renovation project and they will be open for booking. But the guests can discover a new marquee, three new restaurants, new attractions and other experiences. Altogether there will be a casino floor. It may follow the plan of the other Horseshoes in sophistication, elegance but which is approachable.
The Caesars are planning to wrap the project by the end of the year. But the supply chains might affect the timeline.
Horseshoe again going to host World Series of Poker
This is not the first name change for the fifty-year-old property. It was originally opened as the original MGM Grand Hotel and Casino in 1973. Then it became Bally’s in the mid-1980s. Therefore the second transformation comes after Caesars Entertainment decided to distance itself from Bally’s name. They sold the brand to the company known as Twin River Worldwide Holdings in 2020.
One of the most interesting parts of the casino’s rebranding is its World Series of Poker’s reunion with Horseshoe. Do you know that the original Horseshoe Casino known now as Binion’s Gambling Hall & Hotel was the host of the first World Series of Poker in 1970?

Jason Gregorec, SVP and general manager of Horseshoe Las Vegas shared some details about the developments.
