Went here for two days, beautiful river city with a lot of friendly people and some great things to see. There is a casino there (Rising Star Casino) but spent a lot of time just exploring the very interesting town.
It has a long history and does a really good job of covering it. Lots of blocks in the sidewalk along the river and in signs tell the story of this area and an interesting story it is. It is one of my favorite places to visit.
Quiet there, and the Ohio River is majestic to watch it roll by. The actual casino is in the riverboat on the left.
It is fun to go into, lots of lights and noise and interesting people. The boat does not move though I think at one time it did. Believe Indiana changed the law. Early in the casino history they did travel the river, but a few years into it they made it not necessary.
Nonetheless, it is fun to watch barges head down the river and to check out some of the sights to be seen there.
