With the vision to create the largest entertainment destination of Chicagoland, Caesars Entertainment (formerly Harrah’s Entertainment) undertook a USD 500 M expansion of its Horseshoe Casino, a 350,000 square foot floating vessel located on the shores of Lake Michigan.
Scéno Plus was entrusted with the design of a 2,500-seat state-of-the-art entertainment centre located on the upper floor of the new casino.
