Illinois Casino Camper Reviews
This section contains information specifically about RVing from our own experience and directly from readers. Organized alphabetically by City and Casino Name.
East Peoria
Par-a-dice Casino (309) 699-7711, www.par-a-dice.com
7 Blackjack Blvd
- from reader Karen B, October 2006. To get to the RV parking follow the signs for general parking. At the west end of the parking lot there are long spaces marked for bus and RV parking only. There aren't very many spaces and since our motorhome is short enough to fit in two standard car spaces we parked on the edge of the regular lot which was fine.
We didn't eat at the casino but played some on the two days we were there. It seemed to us to be better laid out and roomier than most other riverboat casinos in this area of the country. The entire casino closes from 6AM until 9AM. The restaurant area reopens an hour earlier at 8AM.
East St. Louis
Casino Queen, (618)874-5000 (800) 777-0777 www.casinoqueen.com
-from reader T. Bird, February 2006 We stayed at the Casino Queen RV Park in East St. Louis two years ago. Nice park right down by the river and walking distance to the Casino. Full Hookups including cable and a full breakfast for everyone in your unit and the rate was $14.95 per night!
The Metro runs nearby and can take you anywhere in town quickly. St. Louis Zoo is free and really spectacular. The Arch is also memorable but if you suffer from small space phobia, the ride up and down might bother you! River walk and boat ride up the river was interesting also. We're not gamblers so can't tell you about the casino but their breakfasts are excellent.
Empress Casino, (815) 744-9400, (888) 4-EMPRESS, www.argosycasinos.com
- from reader A. Van, February 2006 Empress Casino has their own RV park attached (Good Sam park) with water/electric only. Dump station open to anybody is located behind hotel.
Nice new campground associated with their riverboat casino and adjacent to their hotel. Pull through and back in sites. Level paved, water, electric and cable sites with paved interior roads. Grassy landscaping between pads. Good new laundry, store and restrooms. RVers can use the indoor pool at the hotel. Office modem hookup. Sites easily comped.
- from reader Eric, February 2006 They "highly" discourage you parking in the parking lot, will let you, but will not let you park overnight as we found out (no reason given)...not RV friendly for boondocking and attached RV park is average (can take shuttle to casino)
Harrahs Metropolis
(618) 524-2628, (800) 929-5905, Web site:
http://www.harrahs.com - from reader Eric, February 2006
Harrahs Casino is located in the heart of
Metropolis (watch the signs to get to the Casino as you have to navigate the
city streets, as we found out with our 31' fifth wheel). No RV park
attached, small parking lot but we boondocked on the outskirts of the
parking lot among the cars. |
