Thanks a lot, supply chain disruptions.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe changes inside Horseshoe aren’t dramatic.<\/p>\n
Guests will see the table felt still being replaced, for example.<\/p>\n
All your favorite Bally’s things are still there.<\/p>\n
Unless you consider Burger Brasserie a Bally’s thing. (It sits between Bally’s and Paris.) It’s closed for a renovation. Yes, we opened the door slightly to peek inside. It was unlocked, that’s on Horseshoe.<\/p>\nGuy Fieri’s new place is going to be a minute.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs we’ve reported previously, there’s a new poker room at Horseshoe, but other than that, they’re largely just sprucing up the place.<\/p>\n
Caesars Entertainment, owner of Horseshoe, is playing up the history of the brand in its marketing. Specifically, the history of Horseshoe being gambler-friendly. It’s a bit of a weird flex (Caesars, then Harrah’s, just bought the brand when it acquired Binion’s Horseshoe), but we have evidence there’s some basis to their claims.<\/p>\n
We never won a dollar playing at Bally’s, but won $850 on Top Dollar the minute the place became Horseshoe. Coincidence?<\/p>\nWe suggest trying an uncomfortable denomination sometimes. This is why.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe rebrand of Bally’s to Horseshoe is going to take some getting used to.<\/p>\n
We interact with thousands of Las Vegas visitors, and none seem particularly broken up about the loss of the Bally’s brand. Compare it to, say, Mirage, and the difference is dramatic.<\/p>\n
Still, Bally’s had its fans, and it is woven into the fabric of Las Vegas history and lore.<\/p>\n
We would share some of that history and lore, but that would require “research” and “effort,” so get to Googling.<\/p>\nHorseshoes are supposed to ward off evil spirits, like witches, goblins and the I.R.S.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nMostly, we remember doing the social marketing for Bally’s for a couple of years. The biggest selling points were the mid-Strip location, “Jubilee” and the Sterling Brunch buffet.<\/p>\n
Bally’s never really felt like it had a distinctive personality, but it reliably delivered the most important Las Vegas things: Gambling and liquor. And possibly prostitutes. But mostly those first two things.<\/p>\n
That will continue with Horseshoe, and there are lots of new things in the works that could make the resort stand out a bit, especially if there’s a genuine effort to make the place gambler-friendly and if the old-timey Horseshoe vibe can be conveyed by front line staff.<\/p>\n
If not, it’s always good to see improvements and a refresh of Bally’s was overdue.<\/p>\n
Caesars Entertainment has an opportunity to up the ante with Horseshoe. Giddyup.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
