President Casino St. Louis Riverfront

Short Description:

It's impossible to miss. The creamy white riverboat literally has patriotism painted all over it, the stars and stripes exterior a floating tribute to the American flag. The riverboat housing the casino, The Admiral, is a historic site all its own, built in 1907.

The outside may be from a more genteel era, but inside the President Casino (314-622-1111, St. Louis Riverfront) is pure Vegas. A rainbow of neon greets the eyes, while a synthetic orchestra of clangs and dings erupts from all sides. Pump your arm for some exercise on a slot machine, or take on a computer in video poker. Figures hunch over table games of poker, a cloud of smoke hovering above them as thick as tension. Laughter erupts as soon as the cards slap the green velvet table, though, and squeals of excitement from surrounding tables remind that luck lingers where there's relaxation and fun. Indulge your taste buds without spending too much prize money at The President's Buffet. Menu items include deli sandwiches, hot dogs and ice cream. Weekends offer a special seafood menu.
