It’s a destination like no other. Where world-class
gambling and top-name entertainment combine
to create an unprecedented experience.
In August 2008, Horseshoe Casino unveiled its
$500 million expansion in Hammond, Indiana.
Covering 350,000 square feet, the new property
welcomes visitors in the same convenient location
it has since its original opening—just 20 minutes
from downtown Chicago.
Spectacular and awe-inspiring, the new casino is
more than twice the size of the original, and the
main casino floor on the first level is framed with
ornate columns. Spacious and elegant, the casino
displays wide stone aisles covered with plush
wool carpeting.
Amazing detailed work can be found throughout
Horseshoe. The casino’s ceiling is a dramatic 21
feet high, and the entire floor is illuminated in grand
fashion with huge crystal chandeliers that are over
8 feet in diameter. The “dripping” crystals at both
entries were created with nearly 120,000 pieces
of crystal each.
Guests are welcomed by warm tones of copper,
chocolate, and Horseshoe gold. Intricate moldings,
ornate sconces, and hand-plastered walls offer
distinctive touches. In the High Limit Table area,
hand-blown glass flowers were created by Italian
artisans. Genuine gold leaf adorns the grillwork of
the cashiers’ cages and the ceiling domes of the
High Limit Slot area. Silver leaf can be found
in the Actual Silver Leaf found on the grillwork in
High Limit Table area and in the domes of the
High Limit Table ceiling.
Work from artists such as Tarkay, Max, Gockel,
Krasnyansky, Le Kinff are on display, as well
as oversize vintage photographs that showcase
Las Vegas’ rich and colorful history.
With all-new features such as the premier
entertainment destination in Chicagoland, the
Midwest’s largest poker room, and the elaborate
Asian Gaming Area, the Horseshoe Casino is
big-time extravagance from the ground up.
No expense was spared. No detail too small.
Taken all together, there’s an unmistakable aura,
evoking the legendary Horseshoe experience.
