CHESTER, Pa. -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- Caesars Entertainment Inc. announced today that Harrah's Chester Casino & Racetrack will have a new name on May 12: Harrah's Philadelphia, along with several new dining outlets and an all new entertainment line up. Harrah's Chester will officially change its name to Harrah's Philadelphia in conjunction with its first headlining concert of the summer-long Harrah's Philadelphia Summer Concert Series with Lynyrd Skynyrd and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, slated for a May 12 show on "The Field" of the race track.

"The unveiling of Harrah's Philadelphia and new amenities is a first look at the new Harrah's, and all that is to come in the very near future," said Ron Baumann, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Harrah's Philadelphia. "The expansion of our landmark Pennsylvania property is aimed at delivering to our guests an increasingly rich and welcoming entertainment experience with an array of new and improved amenities that include great dining options, live entertainment nightly and, of course, premier gaming action."

New to Harrah's Philadelphia will be the debut of 200 new slot machines. Featuring themes such as Dark Knight, Ghostbusters and Clue, Harrah's Philadelphia slot offering tops out at 2,800 machines, and one of the largest selections within Pennsylvania.

Caffe Napoli, a full-service 24-hour Italian-themed restaurant and cafe opened to the public on Friday, April 6, featuring brick-oven pizza, fresh hand made pastas, farm fresh salads, and sandwiches suited to appease any level of appetite.
