The Horseshoe Casino in Cleveland is pushing to be the first casino to open in the state. Construction crews have been busy working on renovating a historic building into the new casino. The building was previously a department store and is 80 years old.
The crew is being monitored by a preservation group that will ensure that the building will not be damaged. Features of the building, such as the doors and columns are being carefully preserved. Windows are also being installed to make the casino more appealing to guests.
Currently there are 600 members of the construction crew that are working 10 hour shifts to get the project completed.
The Horseshoe Casino is estimated to open March of 2012.
