Spent the weekend at 2 different family reunions (one of them I was the oldest person there). Then spent two nights at Rising Star Casino in southern Indiana. Wrote a report about it. It's at https://hubpages.com/travel/Traveling-Around-Couple-Days-At-Rising-Star-Southern-Indiana

Nice report ! If we are in that area, we like going to Belterra. I think it is a solid 4+ star hotel. BT has some sort of loose affiliation with M-Life properties in Vegas.Quote: WOVShepherdDonThen spent two nights at Rising Star Casino in southern Indiana.
We also love the Riverboat Museum in Vevay, definitely worth checking out.
There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and take us all apart

Belterra is deceiving, it looks nice on the outside with a big hotel and the food and shopping areas are ok,then the casino is a small and dark smoke filled dump.
Happy days are here again

Well, it is a Riverboat, so they do what they can. Unfortunately, smoking inside is allowed in Indiana. It isn't up in Cinci. There is one small smoke-free area with Slot machines and a few VP machines.Quote: HunterhillBelterra is deceiving, it looks nice on the outside with a big hotel and the food and shopping areas are ok,then the casino is a small and dark smoke filled dump.

It's been quite a while since we've been to Belterra but I do remember the entrance as big and spacious. Seems like we had to make our way downstairs to get to the video poker that my brother wanted to play. I agree in that my memory says it wasn't too large.

Looked it up. East Dubuque is 450 miles. That's a pretty good one day move for an old couple like us.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Well if I recall correctly, about $ 99 to $ 139 for weekdays to weekends (or higher). But I think free rooms are pretty easy to get on weekdays once you have played there once or twice.Quote: DaithisWow such a nice Hotel, just curious how much could cost to stay in it ?!
Super nice hotel, check out the museum in Vevay.
