Name Change Accompanies Makeover For Indiana Riverboat Casino

Harrah's Entertainment continues making changes to its empire. While most casino operators are cutting back the spending, Harrah's is moving forward with several different casino plans.

One of the plans is to overhaul a riverboat casino in Indiana. Part of the changes that are being made will be to remove a twelve foot statue of Julius Caesar that is on the outside of the casino.

The statue was their from previous owners, Caesar's Entertainment, which Harrah's bought out in 2005. The casino will be renamed Horseshoe Southern Indiana. Other changes are also taking place within the casino.

While the statue will be removed, there is no decision on what will be done with it. For the time being, it will be stored on Harrison County Councilman Carl Mathes' farm.

"If the statue is successfully removed in one piece, it will be given to Harrison County," said a casino news release. The removal of the statue is a move by Harrah's to bring the horseshoe brand to the casino.
