June 14, 2023

The third Nebraska casino officially opened Monday at Platte County Ag Society Park in Columbus while construction continues on the permanent Harrah's Columbus, NE Racing & Casino at a new site, northwest of the city on U.S. Highway 81.

A ribbon cutting ceremony at the temporary casino was hosted Monday by officials from Caesars and Columbus Exposition and Racing.

"Opening the Columbus Casino is a huge milestone for us in the Harrah's Columbus project. With the tremendous support from the community of Columbus, we're proud to open our doors and welcome guests to the temporary facility for the first time."

- Don Ostert, Harrah's Columbus VP and GM

Players at the temporary casino can bet on horse racing at Ag Park's simulcast and wager on a choice of 250 slot machines and electronic table games. Hours of operation are 9 AM to 1 AM daily.
