The Venue also hosted the World Series of Poker this past October. Upcoming events will feature Gladys Knight, Jeff Foxworthy and Cedric the Entertainer.

Past performers have included Seal, Liza Minelli, and Bette Midler. Famous musicians and comedians are showcased weekly. The Venue, the casino’s 90,000 square foot entertainment facility, hosts events and concerts. The Horseshoe’s gaming room rivals any casino on the Las Vegas strip. There are a few exclusive private lounges for special guests and high rollers. The casino features approximately 3200 slot machines including the High-Limit Slot Room. Horseshoe Casino has 350,000 square-feet of gaming space and 97 tables with games such as Black Jack, Poker, Craps, Roulette, Mini-Baccarat and many more. The casino also has a few other dining options, including the Village Square Buffet, housing Italian, Mexican, American, Asian and Seafood cuisine. The restaurant overlooks Lake Michigan and attracts a lot of casino goers from Indiana and Chicago. My Kobe beef steak was tantalizing along with a few appetizers and a couple of desserts.

I dined at their steak and seafood restaurant, Jack Binions, which offers select cuts of prime rib, steaks, veal and seafood.

I recently visited Horseshoe Casino, in Hammond Indiana, and was pleasantly surprised to see a first class venue. If you’re looking for something different to do this holiday season and want a break from Chicago’s hustle and bustle, then you might want to travel to Northwest Indiana. “Fete Select TV” Crenshaw, NBC5 Street Team
