(HAMMOND) - Construction of a new $485 million Horseshoe Casino in Hammond is ahead of schedule and is expected to open in late summer instead of early fall.
Casino officials say their full-time payroll is expected to jump from around 2,300 employees to 2,700 when the new facility opens.
The Horseshoe project includes new gaming rooms, restaurants and a theater designed to draw Las Vegas-style entertainment.
Mayor Tom McDermott says the construction project represents a significant commitment by Harrah's Corporation to the City of Hammond.
Because of the construction, the Hammond Marina was closed last year. It's scheduled to reopen on May 1st.
