Flooding at the Horseshoe!

Bob, the bottom of the escalator in the picture going to the boat is at least 20 feet lower than the restaurant and event center area.

If it reaches the top of the escalator everyone on each side of the river would need to get on the ark.


Don't forget, the walkway over the road is pretty damn high and that's the level of everything

I had the wrong escalator. Thank goodness it isn't up to the ice cream shop.

If it's only the landing area, I'm guessing they'll be open again in less than a month.

They are going to need a lot of box fans, and some new dry wall.
A little bit of TLC and back to normal.

Mother Nature makes her own odds! The Ohio River is a powerful force of nature.

I always thought that the hotel looked like it was sitting in a flood plain based on the surroundings, but those pictures are amazing. I know it's a long way off, but I imagine repairs are going to take a long time so I hope this in know way affects next year's DCC.

I received the following email from the Horseshoe:

Horseshoe Southern Indiana will reopen for business
Sunday, March 4, 2018 at 10 a.m.

At this time, the river has receded to a point where we can safely allow guests to return to Horseshoe. The casino, restaurants, retail shops, hotel and spa will be open for your enjoyment.


Pleased to learn that the situation is back under control.

I just go this email from the Horseshoe Southern Indiana, the host hotel for the Derby City Classic.

Due to rising Ohio River conditions Horseshoe Southern Indiana, including hotel, is temporarily closed effective immediately. At this time, all scheduled promotions, events, and entertainment at Horseshoe Southern Indiana have been cancelled until further notice.

For the well-being of our team members and guests, Horseshoe Southern Indiana will reopen once water levels have receded to a safe level. Our dedicated marine operations staff are closely monitoring the river forecast and a future announcement regarding reopening will be sent as soon as possible. For continuous updates please follow us on Facebook and Twitter or call 866-605-9088. Thank you for your support in this matter.


Glad this didn't happen a few weeks ago at the Derby.

Did Mike Pence and his partner drown in their favorite stall in the men’s room?
