Mississippi made a total of six floating casino markets with more than 60 total vessels and dockside casinos. The first riverboat casinos made money through what is known in the trade as “convenience gambling,” meaning people went there solely because it offered gambling close to home. Admission is included to Iowa’s #1 attraction, the must-see Smithsonian-accredited National Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium. Reboard the Twilight at 11am and depart at 11:30 am for our return journey. Take in the sites and listen to the Captain’s narration that you missed on Day 1. Enjoy lunch and dinner served at your table. The casinos in Mississippi are all located on riverboats. Mississippi was the third state to legalize riverboat gambling when it was approved by that state’s legislature in 1990.

Casino Cruise Mississippi River
Public sightseeing excursions are 90 minutes and we cruise on Lake Pepin, which is the largest river lake on the Mississippi River. The cruise is narrated by our knowledgeable Captains who explain the local geography, environment, and history. Oftentimes, we enjoy a breathtaking, up-close view of nature when eagles swoop down to catch a fish!
Our full-service bar is always open with both non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks. We also have snacks (chips, pretzels, peanuts, cookies, etc.) and all beef hot dogs available for purchase.
Gambling Cruise Mississippi River
The open upper deck is a popular place to sit for amazing views on our Lake Pepin cruise and has a maximum capacity of 52 people. If you desire a certain seating it is recommended to arrive early.
Please let us know if you will require assistance with wheelchairs or walkers. A wheelchair is available for those who need it.
Conveniently purchase your tickets online. Walk-ups also welcome but we recommend that you call to check availability of our Lake City sightseeing cruises first.
