“Caesars Entertainment and Harrah’s Hoosier Park are thrilled to unveil our reimagined Hoosier Park experience. From dining to gaming, guests won’t recognize our property's transformation to become your upgraded destination for FUN,” said Colin Skidmore, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Harrah’s Hoosier Park. “We’re excited to provide more of everything our guests and Team Members love here at Hoosier Park and invite you to experience it yourself. We’re waiting to welcome you with everything you’d expect from a premier Caesars Entertainment property.”

The $40 million project is the largest investment by Caesars Entertainment in Harrah’s Hoosier Park since its acquisition in 2018, marking a milestone in the property's evolution. In line with Caesars' commitment to providing an unparalleled gaming experience, the casino floor has been completely reimagined, featuring more than 1,450 slot machines, 40 table games and a dedicated Promotions and Events Center specialized for drawings, giveaways and more. The property also boasts a High Limits Room, which has been expanded to include table games, a bar area, and restroom facilities.

The expansion introduces the Center Bar's elegant new design, enhancing the ambiance for guests. The new restaurant area, featuring Dash Café and Slice Pizzeria, offers a diverse range of dining options conveniently accessible from the casino floor alongside a view of the beautiful racetrack. Additionally, the Caesars Rewards® Center has been converted into a Caesars Rewards Experience Center, allowing guests easy access to many promotional kiosks and representatives to assist guests using mobile tablets.

The renovation extends beyond the gaming area. Guests will notice a comprehensive aesthetic update, including new carpeting, lighting, and signage, culminating in a stunning central medallion. The exterior transformation showcases a redesigned porte-cochere, a prominently lit Harrah’s Hoosier Park sign, and an inviting façade. The parking area has also been restructured to provide ample accessible parking, with special consideration for disabled guests and veterans

Since acquiring Harrah’s Hoosier Park, Caesars Entertainment has consistently elevated the property, introducing the Sportsbook in 2019, launching table games in 2020, and unveiling the Hoosier Outdoor Pavilion (HOP) in 2023. Since its acquisition, Harrah’s Hoosier Park has also proudly hosted the prestigious Breeders Crown in 2020 and 2023.

Harrah’s Hoosier Park is poised to leverage this expansion and further enhancements to enrich guest experiences, focusing on slots, table games, and racing.
