Cleveland Casino Second Phase
As expected, Rock Ohio Caesars, owners of Horseshoe Cleveland, plan to buy the Higbee Building, current home of the Cleveland casino. If the sale is approved, the owners plan to build a skywalk between the Higbee Building and the casino parking garage.
Dan Gilbert, owner of Rock Ohio Caesars, tweeted that yes, there will be a second phase, which calls for a casino on the riverfront. The constitutional amendment that brought casinos to Ohio permits only a single casino in Cleveland. However, an agreement with the Governor allows for two sections as long as they are physically connected. Tower City is expected to be that link.
