LAS VEGAS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A legendary casino brand has returned to the Entertainment Capital of the World, but this time, on the Las Vegas Strip.
On Friday, March 24, Horseshoe Las Vegas honored the rich history and legacy behind the Horseshoe name while celebrating its future and the culmination of a year-long transformation during its official grand opening.
To commemorate the occasion and to bring great luck, gaming icon Jack Binion, whose family opened the original Horseshoe in downtown Las Vegas, presented a special horseshoe from his family’s ranch to Caesars Entertainment leadership. The celebration also included showgirls adorned in original costumes from Jubilee! and confetti cannons signifying the next chapter for Horseshoe.
The Horseshoe Casino was started by a gambler for gamblers in 1951. As the brand expanded to markets across the country over the years, Horseshoe has stayed true to its heritage, holding on to the thrilling spirit of no-limit betting. Caesars Entertainment now operates 10 Horseshoe properties throughout North America.
“The arrival of Horseshoe on The Strip marks a significant moment for Caesars Entertainment, the Horseshoe name and the entire destination,” said Jason Gregorec, SVP and General Manager of the property. “Not only are we excited for guests to experience the redesigned resort and its latest offerings, but we are also proud to reintroduce the historic gaming brand to Las Vegas.”
The festivities continued with a special reception for invited guests at Jack Binion’s Steak. Led by Jack Effel, Vice President of the World Series of Poker, the event featured a Q&A session with notables in the industry. The panelists included Jack Binion, famed sports bettor and philanthropist Jim “Mattress Mack” McIngvale and Poker Hall of Fame inductee Doyle Brunson.
The reimagined resort features new exterior signage, including a 180-foot-tall marquee by Branded Cities at the intersection of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Road. Upon entering the property, guests are immersed in the classic sophistication of the Horseshoe brand with design elements such as tooled leather, dramatic colors and the signature gold horseshoe iconography throughout the casino floor and public areas.
New Features at Horseshoe Las Vegas
The ARCADE at Horseshoe Las Vegas is a 7,000-square-foot venue illuminated by a glow of bright neon lights offering a high-energy, multi-sensory experience for all ages and skill levels. The attraction features more than 80 supersized games, including classics like Skee-Ball, air hockey, Rock the Rim and an epic claw machine, Big One Extreme. Players are transported into immersive adventures via virtual reality with games like “King Kong” and “Mission Impossible,” a four-player interactive gaming experience.
Jack Binion’s Steak, the namesake restaurant of Las Vegas icon and gaming legend Jack Binion and part of the rich history of Horseshoe, offers steaks selected from Black Angus corn-fed cattle for superior marbling and aged for 28 days. All steaks are finished on an 1800-degree broiler to deliver a perfectly seared and seasoned centerpiece, making for a memorable evening meal.
Horseshoe Las Vegas welcomes James Beard Award Winner and public television star Chef Martin Yan and his internationally loved style and Asian flavors with his first Las Vegas restaurant, M.Y. Asia. The legendary chef’s restaurant brings elements of his decades-long career and extensive travels together, giving diners a truly Yan-tastic experience with unique Yan-tertainment paired with impeccable food and beverage offerings.
Additionally, Horseshoe Las Vegas features a first-of-its-kind World Series of Poker® Hall of Fame Poker Room. Adjacent to the resort’s front entrance near the Lobby Bar, the 4,900-square-foot space offers 18 poker tables with refreshed furniture and equipment. Following the biggest WSOP on The Strip for the first time, the new poker room brings tournament-style poker to The Strip year-round. The World Series of Poker room will also honor the sport’s most legendary players with a Hall of Fame exhibit, which will be added to the space in the coming months.
