Indiana Live! Casino, central Indiana’s premier entertainment destination, opened its 233,000-square-foot facility March 13, offering 2,000 slots.

Owned by Indianapolis Downs, LLC, the new $200 million resort was developed by Power Plant Entertainment Casino Resorts Indiana, LLC, an affiliate of the Cordish Company of Baltimore.

At Indiana Live!, guests will find both a complete selection of the newest slots and a wide selection of electronic table games including blackjack, roulette and three-card poker. There also is an expansive state-of-the art poker room.

Complementing the slots and live poker are six dining and entertainment venues under one roof, with elegant and casual dining, a nightclub, live entertainment and more.

Located 20 minutes from downtown Indianapolis on Interstate 74 in Shelbyville, Indiana Live! Casino is adjacent to Indiana Downs racetrack, a 200-acre venue that conducts live racing and simulcasting for standardbreds, thoroughbreds and quarter horses throughout the year.

But it’s the non-gaming amenities that set Indiana Live! apart from its competitors. The Maker’s Mark-themed steakhouse caters to the VIPs, while the NASCAR Sports Grill is designed for the mid-level dining experience and provides a perfect atmosphere for watching sports.

The Live! Market, the property’s buffet, combines entertainment with dining as guests pick and choose from various fares in a Mediterranean setting, creating a truly unique experience.
