The venue is the Horseshoe Casino’s event space. The current casino was opened on August 8, 2008. Then in 2004, the corporation was sold to Harrah’s Entertainment (which had rebranded to Caesars Entertainment in 2010).
After the sale, Hammond property was rebranded as Horseshoe Casino Hammond on May 4, 2001. Later, in 1999, the corporation acquired Empress Casinos, including both the Hammond property and another Empress Casino in Illinois. It came about after Horseshoe Gaming Holding Corporation was established in 1993 as a private holding company that was mostly owned by Jack Binion. It all began when the casino first opened in 1996 as Empress Casino, a 54,000 square foot four level gambling vessel. You can’t talk about The Venue at Horseshoe Casino without talking about the casino itself. The Venue at Horseshoe Casino Information
