Located about 20 minutes outside of downtown Chicago in Hammond, Indiana, the Horseshoe Casino unveiled a $500 million renovation in August. The sprawling new venue clocks in at 350,000 square feet, which—to put things in perspective—approximates the size of six side-by-side football fields.

Befitting a spot owned by Harrah's Entertainment, the casino flaunts no small measure of Vegas-style glitz. At each entryway, sculptures glitter with 120,000 crystals apiece, beneath eight-foot-wide crystal chandeliers. The grillwork of cashiers' cages is lined with real gold leaf, and hand-blown glass flowers adorn the high-limits table area. MORE >>
