History

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, the property was sold to Gaming and Leisure Properties along with almost all of Pinnacle's real estate assets, and leased back to Pinnacle.[5][6]
