Though the standard setup is 2,500 theater-style telescopic seats, the versatility of the room allows those seats to be pulled back for a full general-admission room that can be set up for more contemporary rock shows, as well as function as a banquet and trade show facility. The 90,000-square-foot (8,400 m 2) space was designed by Canadian designers Sceno Plus, who is best known for designing all of the Cirque du Soleil theaters in the United States as well as the Coliseum at Caesars Palace. “The Venue” is Horseshoe Casino’s entertainment space which also functions as an area that can host any type of event.

The vessel is adjacent to the main pavilion with multiple food outlets including Jack Binion’s Steakhouse, as well as a gift shop and ballroom/meeting facilities. The vessel has two public floors, including the main gaming floor with a special high limit, poker, and Asian gaming areas, 2 feature bars, and a VIP lounge, as well as a second floor with a 3,400 capacity entertainment space, and an updated Village Square Buffet. In October 2017, ownership of the property was transferred to Vici Properties as part of a corporate spin-off, and it was leased back to Caesars Entertainment. The current casino facility, a gaming vessel designed by Friedmutter Group beginning in 2006, was opened on August 8, 2008. In 2004, the corporation was sold to Harrah’s Entertainment (re-branded as Caesars Entertainment in 2010), who oversaw a 2-year construction of a new boat. After selling off the Joliet property in 2001, the Hammond property was re-branded as Horseshoe Casino Hammond on May 4, 2001. In 1999, the corporation acquired Empress Casinos, including both the Hammond property and another Empress Casino in Joliet, Illinois. Horseshoe Casino was originally opened as Empress Casino in 1996 as a 54,000-square-foot (5,000 m 2), four-level gaming vessel. Horseshoe Gaming Holding Corporation was established in 1993 as a private holding company mostly owned by Jack Binion. The complex offers live entertainment, restaurants, and activities in an easy to get to Indiana spot which is just outside the city of Chicago.
