Caesars Entertainment shared the official renderings for Harrah’s Columbus, NE Racing & Casino, the company’s first destination in the Cornhusker state. In partnership with Columbus Exposition and Racing, the property will be home to the state’s longest thoroughbred racetrack which will offer guests a first-class experience to a historic pastime in Columbus.
“Horse Racing has been ingrained in the history of Columbus for decades. We’re thrilled to contribute to that history and bring an all-new, one-mile racetrack for the community to enjoy. Caesars Entertainment is committed to bringing the best offerings for guests of the casino and fans of racing in the area and we look forward to welcoming Columbus to the track once it’s complete,” said Joe Morris, SVP of Racing at Caesars Entertainment.
The Company hosted a community event last week at the Elks Country Club, where Caesars Entertainment executives unveiled the renderings and shared plans for the property. Other partners in attendance included, Columbus Mayor Jim Bulkley, Tom Jackson, Dan Clarey, Dennis Hall, Russell Placzek and Chad Sucha with Columbus Exposition and Racing, the Columbus Chamber of Commerce and Caesars’ selected general contractor, Whiting-Turner. During the event, the Harrah’s Columbus, NE Racing & Casino team also presented a $5000 check to be donated to the new Columbus Fieldhouse.
In addition to the racetrack, Harrah’s Columbus, NE Racing & Casino, is expected to feature a 28,000-square-foot-casino and sportsbook with more than 500 slot machines and 14 table games. The property will also be home to the award-winning restaurant, The Brew Brothers, which was founded by the Carano family in 1995, and a bar dubbed Wishbones, a nod to the hometown favorite event center that closed its doors in 2021. A Marriot Fairfield Inn and Townplace Suites will be built next door and connect directly to the casino so guests can stay and play. Harrah’s Columbus, NE Racing & Casino is expected to be complete in the first half of 2024.
“We’re pleased to bring a brand-new destination to the great state of Nebraska. This is a huge milestone for the company, and we’ve been working hard to bring it to life. We were honored to be joined by our partners and have the support of the local community during today’s event. We’re looking forward to welcoming the people of Columbus and beyond when we open our doors in 2024,” Todd Connelly, Regional President at Caesars Entertainment, said.

![make-a-wish-southern-nevada-and-caesars-entertainment-join-to-grant-fairytale-wish-fit-for-a-princess](https://recentslotreleases.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/138648-make-a-wish-southern-nevada-and-caesars-entertainment-join-to-grant-fairytale-wish-fit-for-a-princess.png)
Five-year-old Samantha Buckley, who was diagnosed with a blood disorder at just one month, dreams of being the belle of a ball that is fit for a princess. Thanks to Make-A-Wish Southern Nevada and Caesars Entertainment, Samantha will get her royal wish. Caesars’ team members – dressed as princes and princesses – will majestically greet Samantha at the “palace” porte-cochere and escort her and her family to a private area where she can choose from a collection of colorful princess dresses and crowns, perhaps even one that is pink just like her favorite Princess Peach.
Buckley and her family will enjoy a two-day staycation at Caesars Palace with experiences fit for royalty, including dinner at Gordon Ramsay Hell’s Kitchen, a ride on the high roller, manicure at the spa, dinner at Maggiano’s Little Italy, tickets to Mystere, time at the pool, and more. There may even be Samantha’s favorite chocolate cake, Oreo cookies and Pringles along the way before retiring to the royal suite for the night.
Samantha’s blood disorder requires her to receive monthly blood transfusions, but that never stops her from letting her inner princess shine bright. Although her medical journey hasn’t been easy, the whole Buckley family is ready for Samantha’s royal quest at one of Las Vegas’ best-known palaces where they will enjoy a magical experience Samantha won’t soon forget.

Media Check-in: 2:45 p.m.

World Series of Poker Makes Online Poker History with Launch of All-new WSOP Online
![world-series-of-poker-makes-online-poker-history-with-launch-of-all-new-wsop-online](https://recentslotreleases.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/136538-world-series-of-poker-makes-online-poker-history-with-launch-of-all-new-wsop-online.jpg)
Caesars Entertainment Inc. and the World Series of Poker (WSOP) announced the launch of an all-new real-money poker platform, WSOP Online that combines player pools in Michigan, Nevada, and New Jersey into one network. The move makes online poker history, as WSOP becomes the first poker operator to pool liquidity across three U.S. jurisdictions.
WSOP.COM officially rebrands as WSOP Online, featuring upgraded functionality such as four-table capabilities on mobile, including Omaha, multi-flight re-entry tournaments, in-app gift drops, and exciting game derivatives, including Mystery Bounty. Poker players can also expect exciting new features, bigger promotions, and weekly tournaments with more players than ever before.
“This platform upgrade is long overdue and is a big win for our players. The best is yet to come for WSOP Online tournaments, and we’re thrilled to bring Michigan players into the fold with Nevada and New Jersey, resulting in a better experience, more value, and the biggest prize pools of the year,” Danielle Barille, Vice President of Online Poker at Caesars Digital, said.
Effective immediately, existing players in Nevada and New Jersey should go online to complete the pre-registration process to create an account on the new platform. Once players create a new username, any existing balances, tournament tickets, and rewards points will be transferred into the player account within 72 hours of the launch of the new platform. After the pre-registration period, current players will be prompted to re-install the WSOP Online app.
The launch of the upgraded WSOP Online real-money poker app comes at the perfect time, as the 55th edition of the World Series of Poker kicks off on May 28 at Horseshoe Las Vegas and Paris Las Vegas, and features the largest slate of online bracelet events ever.
This summer will see 30 online bracelet events beginning June 1 and culminating with the last WSOP bracelet contest on July 21. Every Tuesday, Saturday, and Sunday of the series will feature an official gold bracelet up for grabs, from the $333 Triple Treys No Limit Hold’em event celebrating the professional basketball championship series to the new $10,000 WSOP Online Championship on July 11.
In addition, exclusive satellites to qualify for land-based tournaments will be offered on WSOP Online, with entry fees as low as $1. There will also be daily single-table satellites and massive promotions, such as the guaranteed 25-seat Main Event mega-satellites on June 30 and July 3.
Five high-roller events will also begin on WSOP Online, playing under a hybrid format, with their final tables contested live in Las Vegas at the WSOP. The hybrid events that begin online on June 18 and June 29 will play through their final six players live on July 14, those that take place on July 10 and 11 will play live on July 15, and the online event on July 13 will have its final six players finish live on July 17.
