ELIZABETH, Ind. (WDRB) -- Horseshoe Southern Indiana's new casino is starting to take shape.
Progress can be seen in a time-lapse video posted by the casino on Wednesday. Crews started working on the $85 million land-based casino in July 2018.
Horsehoe's current gaming floor is on a boat docked on the Ohio River. The casino chose to move to dry land after a change in Indiana law several years ago. The expansion is expected to be finished by this fall.

The 100,000 square-foot expansion is expected to take about a year to complete. Once it's finished, officials say there will be a Las Vegas-style casino in Southern Indiana. Renderings show a new gaming floor that starts in what's currently the Horseshoe lobby area, as well as redesigned restaurants and event spaces.
