History[edit]
Council Bluffs Casino Map
Harrah's began as Harvey's having opened in 1996 with the Kanesville Queen riverboat, a three story floating casino. Harrah's later acquired Harvey's in 2001. In 2007, Iowa law allowed casino operators to move to on shore operations. Maintenance costs for the riverboat were high, with Harrah's claiming to have spent over $400,000, to dredge around the boat annually. In 2013, Harrah's scrapped the riverboat, which was inconvenient to customers due to its 300-foot ramp entrance. They moved casino operations to the former convention center into a 25,000 square foot facility with room for 600 slot machines. Convention operations were moved off site to Horseshoe at the Mid-America Center [4]
