Executives of Horseshoe Casino Baltimore, the 2 million project constituting Maryland’s fifth casino, announced the casino will celebrate its grand opening on the night of August 26, pending regulatory approval. The project originally projected a fall opening.
Timing and event details will be shared at a later date.
“After more than two years of planning and construction, we’re excited to unveil our world-class casino—and Baltimore’s next great attraction—on August 26,” said Horseshoe Baltimore Senior Vice President and General Manager Chad Barnhill. “Featuring 122,000 square feet of premier gaming space, two celebrity chef restaurants, innovative live entertainment venues, the industry’s best player loyalty program and Maryland’s only World Series of Poker Circuit tournaments, Horseshoe Baltimore will offer a truly exceptional gaming experience.”
Horseshoe Baltimore will feature 2,500 video lottery terminals and more than 100 table games, plus a 25-seat World Series of Poker-branded poker room. The full-service casino will employ 1,700.
Horseshoe Baltimore also will be home to two celebrity chef restaurants—Johnny Sánchez, a taqueria that will be the first collaboration between renowned culinary masters John Besh and Aarón Sánchez; and Guy Fieri’s Baltimore Kitchen & Bar, which will bring the signature style of the chef, restaurateur, Emmy Award-winning host and New York Times bestselling author to Baltimore.
The casino will feature a third premium dining venue, Jack Binion’s Steakhouse, named for the gaming industry pioneer who made Horseshoe a nationally recognized casino brand.
Rounding out the casino’s dining options are Ruby 8 Noodle and Sushi Bar, featuring authentic Asian dishes in a contemporary environment prepared under the supervision of Master Executive Chef Kai Lam; and the Baltimore Marketplace, a collection of several popular restaurant concepts operated by celebrated local restaurateurs that together will comprise the casino’s casual dining experience.
Horseshoe Baltimore will also feature several nightlife options, including its signature 14forty Bar, the only bar in Baltimore that will serve drinks around the clock, seven days a week. The multi-level venue will be home to live entertainment acts, a private VIP seating area offering bottle service, a two-story video board and a drink menu with a full array of handcrafted cocktails served by spirited “showtenders.”
As with all Caesars-operated casinos, Horseshoe Baltimore will offer Total Rewards, the gaming industry’s premier player loyalty program.
“Horseshoe Baltimore is going to provide our guests with an experience unlike any other they’ve had in this area,” Barnhill said. “In just several weeks, we’re going to change the way people in and around Maryland think of casino entertainment. We can’t wait to introduce Horseshoe’s legendary service to Charm City.”
