Harrah’s Metropolis history
The casino first opened its doors to visitors in 1994 as PlayersIsland. It was rebranded in 2000 when the global gambling company we now know as Caesars Entertainment (formerly Eldorado Resorts) purchased it.
Following a corporate spinoff in 2017, the casino was acquired by ViciProperties. However, Vici immediately leased it back to Caesars, which has remained the casino’s operator.
Harrah’s Metropolis first opened its doors to the public as the Players Island casino founded by Players International and MervGriffin. It was one of the first casinos in all of Illinois. In 2000, Players International was acquired by Harrah’s Entertainment and the casino was renamed Harrah’s Metropolis.
Harrah’s Entertainment became a part of Caesars Entertainment, with over 50 other establishments such as Harrah’s, Caesars Palace and many others. In 2017, Vici Properties assumed the casino’s ownership but leased it back to Caesars Entertainment, which still operates the casino.
