Horseshoe Las Vegas occupies one of the most storied addresses on the Strip: 3645 South Las Vegas Boulevard, right at the crossroads of Las Vegas Boulevard and Flamingo Avenue. The building opened in 1973 as the MGM Grand, became Bally’s Las Vegas in 1986, and was reborn as Horseshoe Las Vegas on December 15, 2022, after Caesars Entertainment poured the brand’s signature gold-horseshoe design and World Series of Poker pedigree into the property.
The draw here is a straightforward, no-frills Strip stay built around poker, value, and location rather than spectacle. Horseshoe suits travelers who want a real Caesars Rewards resort within walking distance of Bellagio, Paris Las Vegas, and Caesars Palace, without paying flagship-property rates.

Rooms, Pool and Casino
Horseshoe’s guest rooms sit in a single Resort Tower last renovated in 2018 and refreshed again for the 2022 rebrand; the property’s older Jubilee Tower was transferred to next-door Paris Las Vegas in 2023, leaving Horseshoe with about 2,056 rooms and suites. It’s a classic Strip room count, not a boutique property, which keeps rates on the accessible end of the market.
The roughly 68,000-square-foot casino floor leans into Caesars’ Horseshoe branding with a dedicated World Series of Poker room and Hall of Fame displays, alongside standard table games and slots. Outside, the Blu Pool offers an outdoor seasonal pool deck that’s more low-key than the party pools at neighboring megaresorts.
Shows, Attractions and Dining
On-property entertainment includes the long-running Jubilee Theater and the Laugh Factory Las Vegas Theater, a comedy club that opened in early 2026 inside the space previously known as the Imagine Showroom (formerly Windows Showroom). A roughly 7,000-square-foot arcade adds a family-friendly diversion. Dining highlights are Jack Binion’s Steak, Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Sports Kitchen, and Nosh Deli, giving guests solid options without leaving the casino floor.
Location and Who Should Stay Here
Horseshoe sits at what’s often called the busiest intersection on the Strip, flanked by Paris Las Vegas and directly across from Bellagio and Caesars Palace. Sphere and T-Mobile Arena are each roughly a mile away, an easy rideshare or a longer walk rather than a stroll. That makes it a smart base for poker players, budget-to-mid-range travelers, and anyone who wants a central Strip pin without luxury-resort pricing.
