Slots are tight. I think all Harrah's properties are tight. Nice hotel, but agree will need updated soon. Nice to get free hotel comps that's the only reason to keep going back because slots are so tight. Mailings and comps unpredictable sometimes you get them sometimes you don't..(???)
The property recently underwent a $53 million renovation before the name change from Caesars Indiana to Horseshoe Southern Indiana this month. The only downside is that the hotel hasn't seen much, if any, of those dollars at this time.
Video Poker: Offers some of the best machines on the Ohio River.
The hotel rooms are still clean and serviceable, but will need updating soon! Otherwise, I can't complain, as the Horseshoe SI has friendly staff, and is my favorite place to play Video Poker in Indiana. I've had way more luck here over the years than any other casino, even when compared to LV properties.
I agree with many previous reviews in that there should be free drinks in Indiana casinos, but I don't think that will ever happen in this state.
Good VP, great drink service and friendly staff. The only downside for me is the high table game limits. I like to play $5 or $10 blackjack, which is almost impossible to find, especially on weekends. However, as long as they have decent VP, I'll keep going back.
I am from Cincinnati and this is my favorite casino of them all. Granted, I can't take weekly trips down here as it is 2 hours away, but once a month i have something to look forward too and get excited about. The boat is huge they are not joking about the 93,000 square feet on four levels. It really doesn't feel like you are on a riverboat sometimes it's that massive. Horseshoe does a great job with the experience and the features. Everything is so shiny and glitzy and that is what I like-visual stimulation! Craps are awesome-100x odds, blackjack is steller (my favorite game) and honestly, after two trips so far, maybe it's just luck, but the slots are compared to hollywood, rising star (grand victoria got a name change) and belterra pay out a lot and more often. Customer Service was fine - I can usually help myself. The Paula Dean Buffet was good and everything-bread pudding was amazing. Hotel is not needed as it's only 2 hours away. When they get finished building the Horseshoe here in Cincy in a year and a half, I hope it emulates some of Horseshoe SI's awesomeness.
I DON'T PLAY LIVE POKER OR TABLES. I USUALLY JUST PLAY VP, CHEAPLY AS POSSIBLE, EAT BUFFETS AND SLEEP AT MOST CASINOS I VISIT ,NOT COUNTING MY LOCAL MGM DETROIT. I COMMUTE THERE THRICE WEEKLY.
