Hollywood Park & Boomtown Inc. Partnership

The 5th and final Riverboat license for Southern Indiana was awarded to the above on Sept 14,1998 for Switzerland County. This location is south of the present Grand Victoria at Rising Sun Indiana which is 90 minutes from Louisville Ky. This new Casino is now scheduled to open in the fall of 2000.

My wife and I drove over to Caesar's construction site which is 10 miles from the bridge in Louisville and the boat, Glory of Rome, has been moved to the site. It looks like a cheap shell rectangle since none of the fancy facades have been added yet including ths smoke stacks. The walkway over the actual road is about complete but doesn't go anywhere to the hotel side yet. A constant flow of semi trucks are carrying precast concrete sections for what probably looks like the permanent parking garage. Will keep you posted,
Jim in Louisville
