( Pendleton ) - The Horseshoe Casino Cincinnati has ended speculation about how much it will cost to park in the 2,500-space parking garage when the it opens on March 4th.

Parking will be free nights (6pm to 6am) and weekends. People will pay to park from 6am to 6pm Monday through Friday, but there are ways around that. If you play slots or table games for 30 minutes or play poker for an hour, eat at a casino restaurant, or spend $25 in the gift shop, your parking will be validated. 

Parking rates start at $1 for the first hour to $14 for the day. 

The Horseshoe opens March 4th at 8:30pm after a ribbon cutting. Parking on THAT day will be free at the Banks Garage. A free shuttle will run from the Banks to the Casino and back all night.
