Ameristar Casino Hotel Council Bluffs is a riverboat casino in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on the Missouri River directly across from Omaha, Nebraska.
It is owned by Gaming and Leisure Properties and operated by Penn Entertainment.
The plans called for a resort that complemented the local history, thus, the design is reminiscent of an 1800s river town.
Due to legal requirements at the time, the riverboat had to make 2-hour cruises down the river during excursion season, which had been April 1 to October 31.
