Ohio River valley Casinos near Kentucky

Riverboats is not an actual definition anymore. Most if not all of these are permanently docked or been replaced with permanent buildings. You free to come and go as you please. When they were initially built they actually cruised on the river for a couple of hours each boat load of people.

Indiana has ten riverboat casinos five of which are located on the Ohio River. The Ohio River is the border between Kentucky and Indiana. Five of these casinos are located close to Cincinnati and Louisville making them a fairly short drive for the more populated areas of Kentucky.

Illinois has ten riverboat casinos one of which located on the Ohio River. The Ohio River is also the border between Kentucky and Illinois. Harrahs Metropolis is the only casino serving the western part of the state along the Ohio River.

If you are going to be visiting the state soon and would like to indulge in a trip to one of the Kentucky River casinos, you have a limited range of choice. There are in fact no casino riverboats that are legally based in Kentucky, but because the state border runs alongside the Ohio River you can easily access Kentucky casinos in other states at only a short distance away.

If you are staying in or near Louisville, then you will be able to take advantage of the Caesar’s in Southern Indiana, which is commonly known as ‘The Boat’ to local residents. The casino itself, called Glory of Rome, rests on a four hundred and fifty foot boat which floats out on the water, and while it may not quite feel like a river cruise – the boat is completely static, and enclosed – you will actually be on top of the river at all times, as evidenced by the presence of the life jackets and rings that dot the perimeter of the casino. This is only fifteen miles out of Louisville, in the small town of Bridgeport, Indiana, so it is very easy and convenient to access it and you could even stay in the hotel here if you have business in the local area.

Another choice for near to Kentucky River casinos is the Casino Aztar. This is located at Riverfront Park in downtown Evansville, another Indiana city, which is very close to the Kentucky city of Henderson. Here you will find a riverboat casino that can hold more than two thousand five hundred passengers, full of different slot machines, table games, and of course a poker room dedicated solely to the most popular casino game in the world. Taking a look at the recent winners list you will see many gamblers coming from Kentucky, demonstrating just how easy it is to get there when you are in the state.

Near Florence and the Cincinnati Northern Kentucky International Airport is another riverboat casino that might interest you, the Grand Victoria Casino and Resort by Hyatt. This river casino receives some great reviews from customers who love to gamble in Kentucky, and it is situated in the town of Rising Sun, Indiana. Although none of these casino boats are actually permitted to move, you will be able to take a trip up and down the river to your heart’s content in one of the old fashioned steamboats that do regular river cruises, so you should have no problem at all with finding a chance to explore the river.

The only thing now is to decide which one to go to, as there are so many near Kentucky River casinos to choose from that we were certainly not able to cover much more than the tip of the iceberg here. So long as you are near the Ohio River you should be able to find something, so take a look at the area near where you are going to be staying to get a better idea of what exactly is on offer.
