The $200-million Indiana Live! casino opened Friday night in Shelbyville. If the free-money giveaways around town, faux Obama commercials and the buzz around a promised ribbon-cutting appearance by Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake* convinced you to attend the grand-opening, share your thoughts here. The building itself is quite a dramatic sight from Interstate 74, especially after seeing miles of cornfields. The project was designed by Las Vegas-based Klai Juba Architects and Cleo Design, firms that worked on some of the most-recognized casinos on the Las Vegas Strip including Mandalay Bay and MGM Grand. The 233,000-square-foot casino was developed and will be managed by Baltimore, Md.-based The Cordish Company. Besides all the slot machines and electronic table games, the snazzy facility gives Shelbyville a dining attraction that rivals The Cow Palace.
