History
Opened in 1973 as the Holiday Casino. When
it first opened, the front of the building was a steamboat
motif. This caused some to confuse this casino with the off
strip Showboat.
Renamed to Showboat in 1992.
In 1997, Harrah's purchased the property.
During that year's renovation, they removed the old theme
and replaced it with a carnival party theme. The name of the
property was changed to Harrah's at this time
