In 1979, Holiday Inn bought a 40% share of the casino's parent company, Riverboat Inc. By 1982, the hotel had grown to over 1,000 rooms, making it the largest in the chain. Holiday Inn bought out the remaining 60% in 1983. In 1992, the property was renamed Harrah's. In 1997, Harrah's completed a renovation intended to make it the company's flagship property, replacing the old riverboat theme with a Mardi Gras/Carnival motif. They extended the 35 story tower by adding 986 rooms. Included in the renovations were six 23-karat gold-leaf sculptures. Built from steel and glass reinforced polyester resin, the sculptures stand high and wear size 43 shoes. At the grand re-opening Harry Connick, Jr. entertained at the Carnival Court. Tino Wallenda, son of legendary tight-rope walker Karl Wallenda, walked across a steel cable, above the ground.
