Harrah's St. Louis
Harrah's St. Louis is perhaps the largest gaming complex in the metropolitan St. Louis area. Harrah's has a 8 floor 291 room luxury hotel right on the premises. The property also features two uniquely designed casinos. You won't get any closer to Las Vegas anywhere else in St. Louis!
While you are here, if you like to gamble and have a great dinner, Harrah's is the place to go. Located in Earth City, just minutes from downtown and easy to get to, here you will have a lot of fun, eat good food and, if you like, stay in a nice hotel. The Casino is close to the UMB Bank Pavilion which is our outdoor concert venue. So if you are in town for a concert, this is a great place to stay. The iBAR located on the Island Casino is really fun. Great gaming action and an iBar dance venue. A great place to go with friends or just as a couple. I usually do very well at the slots. I put Harrah's web address on this tip. Just go to the "Casino Locator" option at the top and you will be able to get Harrah's St. Louis information. HAVE FUN!!!
