In compliance, Caesars will build a one-mile horse racing track at the permanent Harrah’s Casino, which is also expected to open in 2024. Under the legalization framework in Nebraska, casinos must also ensure horse racing is conducted on site. Plus, there will be several as-yet unconfirmed shops and restaurants. It will also feature a Marriot International Hotel, built in conjunction with the local owners of the land where the resort will be built. It will have a Caesars sportsbook and lounge with self-service kiosks and a staffed booth. The 40,000-square-foot space will have 400 slots and virtual games, plus 20 live table games. The permanent Harrah’s Nebraska will be built on the site of the former Wishbones event center on Route 81, northeast of town. It will take up the vacant Ag Park racetrack event space. The temporary Harrah’s site will have 250 slots and electronic table games, but no table games with live dealers.

The site will open June 12 with daily operating hours of 9 a.m.

That means a temporary Harrah’s casino will open as expected next month at the AG Park Racetrack in downtown Columbus.

Harrah’s brand owner Caesars Entertainment was approved for a Nebraska gaming license by the state’s Racing and Gaming Commission on Friday. Nebraska’s third licensed casino is on course to open up next month in a temporary venue.
