Caesars Southern Indiana
Posted: Wed Jan 22, 2020 8:36 pm
Has anyone visited the new Caesars (formerly Horseshoe) Southern Indiana and have any thoughts on it? They opened the new casino mid-December and I went the weekend between Christmas and New Years. I've been going to the old riverboat there for over 10 years. It's always been one of my favorites so I was really looking forward to the new land-based casino, but was somewhat underwhelmed by the experience.
First, to me at least, the new layout doesn't have a good flow to it making some of the games difficult to find and some areas feel overly crowded. Additionally, much of the staff seemed to be frenzied as if they'd never worked in a busy casino before, seemingly 1 out of every 4 or 5 machines was tagged as out of service, and they completely ran out of Miller Lite and Coors Light. Maybe these are just some kinks to work out with a new facility rather than being indicative of how it's always going to be, at least I hope. Lastly since they took out some of the dining options, Jack Binion Steak is now the only true sit-down restaurant available making it much busier than normal though their food quality remains excellent.
While I was kind of on the fence about whether or not to go back, thanks to receiving some very generous offers for February I think I'm going to give it one more chance to see if my opinion changes.
Anyone else have experiences/thoughts on the place to share?
