Caesars Entertainment celebrated the completion of its $435 million transformation of Harrah’s to Caesars New Orleans on Tuesday, Oct. 22. The raucous event began outside of the casino on Canal St. with a ceremony led by Caesars Entertainment CEO Tom Reeg, Caesars Entertainment President & COO Anthony Carano and Caesars New Orleans General Manager, Samir Mowad, where they, alongside Caesar, joined an iconic New Orleans second-line band in a procession into the casino. Caesars New Orleans Team Members and Mayor Latoya Cantrell joined the celebration to commemorate the historic occasion.

“We’re incredibly proud to officially introduce Caesars to New Orleans. From local favorite Emeril Lagasse to our long-time partner, Chef Nobu, to the beautiful state-of-the-art Caesars Sportsbook, all-new rooms and gaming floor, and of course, our gorgeous new center bar, Octavia, Caesars New Orleans offers something for everyone. It’s a world-class resort in the heart of the Big Easy and we can’t wait for our guests to experience it,” said Anthony Carano, President & COO of Caesars Entertainment.

The ceremony kicked off with an iconic Mardi Gras float featuring Caesar and his court and a firework show to officially welcome Caesars to New Orleans. Following the ceremony, the second-line band led revelers into the resort’s elegant center bar, Octavia, where partygoers enjoyed a “Taste of Caesars New Orleans” featuring bites from all six restaurants at the property. Elemental entertainers performed throughout the room, including the Saints Cheer Krewe, Mardi Gras Indians, Zulu Tramps and showgirls, treating guests to an authentic Big Easy experience.

“This year marks 25 years since we opened in New Orleans and the completion of this project is the perfect way to usher in a new era with Caesars. Synonymous with the Caesars name, our new resort is pure elegance and we’re excited to introduce a luxury brand like this to New Orleans. We are extremely grateful for the support of the community, our Team Members and our guests as we come to the finish line of this tremendous transformation,” said Samir Mowad, SVP and GM of Caesars New Orleans.

Caesars Entertainment Inc. has launched Horseshoe Online Casino, a cutting-edge online casino app and desktop platform developed for the seasoned casino player.

Horseshoe Online Casino builds on the legacy of the Horseshoe brand, a leader in providing exceptional gaming experiences since 1951 with a heritage that celebrates casino players who know what they want. Now live exclusively in Michigan with plans to expand into other jurisdictions where Caesars’ digital iGaming platforms are live, Horseshoe Online Casino leverages the vast network of world-class Caesars destinations throughout North America to deliver a rewarding experience that ties online gaming to Caesars’ industry-leading customer loyalty program, Caesars Rewards.

“The Horseshoe brand is anchored by a promise to put the player first. A brand with such a storied past deserves an online equivalent that pays respect to the legacy it has established in gaming, and that is what we’ve created with Horseshoe Online Casino. This launch reinforces our multi-brand online casino strategy by seamlessly bringing another one of our world-class Caesars brands into the palms of players’ hands,” said Matt Sunderland, Senior Vice President and Chief iGaming Officer at Caesars Digital.

Aesthetically, Horseshoe Online Casino immerses players into a platform accentuated by the classic sophistication of the Horseshoe brand and its signature gold horseshoe iconography, an emblem of good fortune proudly displayed at 10 Horseshoe destinations operated by Caesars Entertainment in North America. From a functionality standpoint, Horseshoe Online Casino operates on a natively built proprietary gaming platform with a bespoke bonus engine offering deeply customizable player promotions and a sleek interface with near-instant loading times, similar to the crown jewel of Caesars Entertainment’s online casino portfolio, Caesars Palace Online Casino.

Much like the iconic Horseshoe Las Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip, Horseshoe Online Casino embodies the Horseshoe brand – the most rewarding place to play where legends are made. Since its inception, Horseshoe has been positioned as a leader in appealing to the savvy casino gamer. Its introduction into the online casino space aims to build onto this position by offering casino games featuring Horseshoe iconography, high limit slots, specialty table games, and an expanded library of progressive jackpots.

The new platform features a rich collection of exclusive, Horseshoe-branded custom gaming titles, made possible through Caesars’ strategic partnerships with leading gaming providers. Players can explore a range of exciting new titles, including Horseshoe Rising Rewards by Games Global, 2x3x Horseshoe by AGS, Horseshoe 3 Coin Cowboy by Bragg Gaming, and Horseshoe Slick Riches LuckyTap by Design Works Gaming. These titles accompany the platform’s expansive gaming catalog, highlighted by emblematic titles offered across casino floors at Caesars Rewards destinations.

Players on Horseshoe Online Casino in the US earn Caesars Rewards Credits through their play that can be redeemed for exclusive Caesars Rewards experiences at one of Caesars’ more than 50 world-class destinations across North America. The platform also debuts with promotions offering digital players the chance to win real-world experiences at top Caesars destinations, like Horseshoe Las Vegas, with packages featuring travel credits, culinary experiences, VIP nightlife, and more.
