The renowned Caesars Entertainment is making a significant foray into Nebraska! They are constructing a sprawling resort and gaming establishment that promises to redefine the state’s entertainment landscape. Mark your calendars: its debut is scheduled for early 2024, and it will showcase the largest horse racing track in Nebraska.
Recently, Caesars provided a glimpse into the resort, unveiling the architectural designs and plans. Columbus Mayor Jim Bulkley was in attendance, alongside prominent figures from the Columbus Exposition and Racing and the Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce. And let’s not overlook the construction experts from Whiting-Turner, the firm chosen to erect this colossal project.
Prepare yourselves, because the Harrah’s Columbus Racing & Casino is poised to be extraordinary! We’re talking a 28,000 square-foot casino floor with more than 500 slot machines, 14 tables for card game enthusiasts, and a designated area for sports wagering.
But hold on, there’s more in store! They’re reviving a touch of nostalgia with The Brew Brothers eatery and a tavern called Wishbones, a tribute to a cherished local establishment that shuttered its doors in 2021. And because everyone requires lodging after such exhilaration, there will be a Fairfield Inn and Townplace Suites (affiliated with Marriott, indeed!) directly linked to the casino.
Todd Connelly, a high-ranking executive at Caesars, expressed their immense enthusiasm for bringing this entertainment haven to Nebraska. He conveyed his excitement about the collaboration and the local backing. Get ready, Columbus, because in 2024, Caesars is delivering the celebration to your doorstep!
A temporary gaming venue known as Ag Park is hoping to debut before spring 2023. This location will feature more than 200 slot machines, along with a designated area for enthusiasts of horse racing to wager. While a short-term arrangement, it provides an opportunity for individuals to begin accumulating Caesar Rewards points in anticipation of the grand opening of the Harrah’s Columbus casino the following year.
