Overview
Harrah’s Philadelphia Casino & Racetrack, formerly known as Harrah’s
Chester, first opened its doors in January of 2007. The first harness
racing season started on September 10, 2006. Harrah’s Philadelphia is
located on the Chester, Pennsylvania waterfront. It is nestled on what was
once the Sun Shipbuilding campus. This location has yielded some of the
most beautiful views of the Delaware River on the east coast, now relished
by its customers on its special viewing floors. In 2010, the first table
games were offered for its Caesars Rewards members. Due to popular demand
and the brotherly love shown by the citizens of Philadelphia and the
community of Chester, Harrah’s Chester was re-branded in 2010 as Harrah’s
Philadelphia.
