Ho-Chunk CEO Lance Morgan and Nebraska Horsemen Benevolent and Protective Association CEO Lynne McNally requested the license to be approved to secure $700 million in financing and keep on track with the complex’s renovation and expansion, which began in July this year.

Back in November, the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission approved a gaming operator license for the future WarHorse Gaming casino, racing and entertainment complex located at Horsemen’s Park in Omaha, which is expected to open in 2024. Work on the gaming floor expansion will begin after that. Harrah’s officials expect the Guy Fieri restaurant to open this spring or early summer. “We have players that play in Council Bluffs right now that live out in Columbus,” he also pointed out. Once again, it’s all about our database and reward system that goes across the country.” They expect casinos opening in Nebraska will create a challenge: “Anytime there’s a market open, Caesars wants to have a footprint in that market. Robert says with the opening of the casino in Lincoln, Harrah’s has already seen a mid-week drop-off. “When you start looking out further west, we can still maintain our client base that’s a little further out.” “ We’re actually going to open a casino in Columbus, Nebraska, so we can make sure we bridge that gap,” the VP added. When Nebraska legalized gambling, one of the future casino sites gave them a call. We just have to concentrate on what we do really well.” “There’s nothing we can do about what they’re doing in Nebraska. “Any time there’s competition that comes in the market, you always want to make sure you’re investing in your property to make sure you hold your market share,” Roberts reflected on the construction of the Omaha casino. Thomas Roberts, senior vice president of Harrah’s and Horseshoe Casinos, said: “If you’re coming to a concert, have a great meal, you want to gamble after, you can do it all right there.”īoth Harrah’s and Horseshoe are owned by Caesars Entertainment, which plan to pump $22 million into the expansion and enhancements at Harrah’s, as reported by 6 News. It also involves the creation of a one-stop entertainment package which includes the Stir Cove in their summer concert series.

While Omaha prepares to enter the world of casino gambling, Harrah’s Casino in Council Bluffs is currently undergoing indoor renovations, including a Guy Fieri restaurant, the expansion of the gaming floor and hotel remodeling.
