“We’ll position those properties, both Horseshoe Cleveland and Thistledown Racino, to be more complimentary versus being competitive against each other. So we’re seeing both those facilities being positioned from a physical standpoint, very differently from one another, and some of the amenities and offerings will be very different.”

The company entertained ideas to move the racetrack to a site owned by the Akron-Canton airport.  Instead, Ceasar’s will spend 88 million dollars improving the North Randall racetrack facility.

The upgrade includes adding more than a thousand video lottery terminals.

Adding those will require approval from the state lottery commission.
