Harrah’s Hoosier Park Racing and Casino

Back to projects

Caesars Entertainment engaged Shive-Hattery on the expansion of the Harrah’s Hoosier Park as a reaction to the State of Indiana’s 2019 ruling allowing casinos to add table games to the gaming floor.

The expansion consists of approximately 37,000 square feet of casino building including gaming floor and back-of-house support spaces. In addition to 67 new table games, the floor expansion allows for the addition of 250 slot machines for a total of 1,776 gaming units.

The planning and design process established the building expansion parameters to encompass the front of the building allowing for the opportunity to enhance the site circulation, add a new enlarged port cochere and new front building façade. The new building materials and color changing lights celebrate the Harrah’s brand, elevating the entire guest arrival experience to the property, while expressing excitement to the patrons at first glance of the property. The entire casino floor will be re-carpeted with the new, color saturated, Harrah’s branded wool Axminster carpet. The design is carefully planned to provide circulation pathways, and feature design areas leading guests to the new table game pits and new amenity areas.
