Caesar’s statue coming down tomorrow

The huge 12-foot statue of Caesar that dominates the Caesars Indiana casino in Harrison County will be removed tomorrow morning as the riverboat takes a major step to “de-Romanize” itself.

The approximately 750-pound Caesar, easily seen from Ind. 111, has been doomed since Harrah’s Entertainment purchased Caesars Entertainment and its 26 casinos in 2005 for $9.3 billion.

Harrah’s intends to rebrand the casino as a Horseshoe facility.

The statue of Caesar is to be removed from its spot high on the casino Pavilion with a crane to a flatbed truck below.

“If the statue is successfully removed in one piece,” according to a casino news release, “it will be given to Harrison County.”

The county will store the emperor “until a location for placement is determined,” the release said.
