This was my first time visiting Horseshoe Casino. During a visit, guests can choose outdoor seating with a view or indoor dining.

Inside dining gives you a fun atmosphere with bright colors, palm trees and laid back music.

Guest can enter through the casino or if you have guests under 21 there is an outside entrance as well. We started off by trying the margaritas. There is something for everyone on the drink menu.

Grilled Shrimp Skewers 

(Jerk-glazed shrimp dusted with sugared coconut served with pineapple)

They were perfectly seasoned to perfection and the piece of pineapple was delicious.
