History[edit]
Located in Lemay, Missouri, River City Casino is on the western bank of the Mississippi River.[2] The property's decor uses a 1904 World’s Fair theme. Built for an initial $380 million, the project's second phase requires an additional $75 million investment within the first three years for construction of a hotel.[3] In 2010, the Riverfront Times named River City Casino the Best St. Louis Casino in their annual awards.[4]
In April 2016, Pinnacle Entertainment sold the property to Gaming and Leisure Properties and leased it back, along with almost all of Pinnacle's real estate assets.[5][6]Penn National Gaming acquired River City's operations in October 2018 as part of the acquisition of Pinnacle.[7]
Casino[edit]
River City Casino is 56 acres (230,000 m2) with parking for 3,000 vehicles. A 90,000-square-foot (8,400 m2) gaming floor has approximately 2,000 slots and 55 gaming tables.[8] It is the only casino in the St. Louis area that does not currently offer a poker room: its 8-table room was shuttered in 2018 and renovated into an Asian gaming lounge specializing in baccarat. The casino includes the 75-seat Judy’s Velvet lounge, a sports bar by day and a music venue by night.[9]
Restaurants[edit]
There are six dining establishments in the casino including The Great Food Exposition (buffet), Burger Brothers, The 1904 Steakhouse, The Beerhouse, Asia, and Cibare.
