The list is very short but the casino popped up first. Being one who enjoys gambling I thought why not? It's on a boat but there are three levels and quite a few slot machines and a large area of a table games. The drinks were surprisingly cheap for being a casino and everyone was friendly. It was mainly an older crowd and you could tell they were all locals. The energy was a little lagging and the payouts pretty sad. Had 2 drinks tried my luck at some slots and called it a day. I give it three stars because it was nothing terrible, cheap drinks, and I've been to worse.

The room was comfortable, nothing spectacular but great for the weekend we were in town. The casino was a BLAST! Three floors of energy and fun! The tables were full and lively and the slot machines were plentiful and fun. Tons of games I haven't seen before, loved Whitney Houston and Little Shop of Horrors as well as Huff n Puff. The ship is the perfect size, spacious enough but it also feels like everyone is rooting for each other.

The machine variety Is nice, but but Iowa state alcohol laws put damper on the mood. Obviously not the casinos fault. The sportsbook is a basic as they come and your better off downloading the Caesar's betting app and going to a sports bar. They don't have sports package for their TVs so you're just watching basic local cable. But I will say that the casino staff is really nice and helpful and even they seem disappointed with the lack of options here. Issabel (not sure if I spelled that correctl) at the sports book ticket counter was very helpful and went out of her way to find out answers to my questions. The night casino staff was not so helpful. Another positive note the price of food is extremely reasonable. I got a 2 decent size sandwiches for under $20, which is unheard of at a Casino in 2026.

The first time I cleaned it myself (yes, I reported it both times), when I stayed there last month I decided it wasn't my job to clean it and I just packed my clothes and left.

It's about what you would expect for a Midwest casino. The slots don't seem to hit well in the two…read moretimes we were there within a month. They don't seem to be hitting at a lot of them today though. Glad to see they still allow smoking. We avoid the no smoking casinos. Breakfast buffet Saturday and Sunday mornings from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m. A little disappointed there, it's a smaller buffet. The biscuits and gravy were good as well as the French toast. Scrambled eggs, well you can't really mess those up. Ham, sausage, bacon, etc. Some sort of cheesy hashbrown's.....those were a fail, unfortunately. Very basic buffet, all self serve. Drinks are sealed containers of orange juice, apple juice, milk, etc. The workers and staff were friendly. Again, it's about the same as any Midwest casino. Better selection of slots, they have some that other casinos have taken out. That's a plus for us.

Got here pretty late post 11 PM CST, booked a room through their website, it was fairly priced, out the door 160-170 ish a night. No hidden Vegas Fees. Was tempted to go on their casino floor, but decided not to, they have tighter security than Yamaava in Highlands California, too lazy to go through their check point. Missed their breakfast hours because I didn't want to wake up. Wanted to use their gym, check out their spa, and pool..........that's gotta be on the next itinerary!

I just received my "rewards" summary from Rhythm City Casino & Resort after blowing through…read more$62,570.35 in slot wagers between January and April 2026 (see attached statement). My net loss for the period was over $4,000, and what did this "generous" casino give me in return? Ten measly dollars in free slot play. That's it. One sad little $10 voucher for the "Mystery Gift Card Giveaway," "Spring into Slot Play," and "Match Board Madness" promotions they plaster all over the place. After SIXTY-TWO THOUSAND DOLLARS in action, they hand you a coupon worth less than a tank of gas. Disgusting. I've been to plenty of casinos, but I've never seen a rewards program this insulting. Elite Casino Resorts (the company that owns this dump) clearly thinks their customers are suckers. The flyers promise "free slot play" and "gift cards," but when you actually show up and lose tens of thousands, you get treated like a broke tourist who wandered in off the street. The entire operation feels deliberately designed to squeeze every last dollar out of loyal players and then spit in their face with pathetic crumbs. The casino floor is tired, the promotions are a joke, and the player's club is an outright rip-off. If you're dumb enough to gamble here, don't expect anything resembling value or appreciation for your business. They'll happily take your $62k and hand you back enough free play to maybe win $8 on a penny slot before it's gone. This crooked, greedy, worthless business can rot. I will never spend another cent at Rhythm City Casino & Resort or any other Elite Casino Resorts property. Save your money and your dignity -- go literally anywhere else.

This whole property is a disaster. Tight slots, insulting rewards, filthy rooms with bed bugs, no…read moresecurity, and constant noise. Don't waste your time or money here. Stay far away. The rewards program is an absolute nightmare. They constantly change the times, dates, and which day of the week things drop with zero consistency. You never know when anything is actually available and it becomes a total headache trying to keep track. Even worse, every month they cut your rewards in half even when you spent more than the previous month. You get penalized for spending more. How does that make any sense? I've been coming here for over three months now, dropping well over $5,000 every single month, and the slots are ridiculously tight. Bonuses are almost nonexistent. When you finally do hit one, the payout is bare minimum garbage most of the time. It's like the machines are programmed to just take your money and give nothing back. The hotel side is just as bad. The place is dirty. I've dealt with bed bugs on two separate occasions and management did nothing meaningful about it. There's basically no security whatsoever. Every night you get obnoxious parties raging in the hallways at 3 a.m. with people partying and yelling with zero regard for anyone else. It's nonstop.

The agents at the front desk signing us up for players cards were very friendly. The buffet was closed this day so we opted for using our $10 food vouchers at the "Bally Bet Sportsbook and Bar" (the cafe). The absolute blandest Margherita pizza I've ever had. My aunt and I were hungry though so we shared it. It was DEFINITELY not worth $20. I asked for the house sparkling wine and didn't think to ask how much it was. I had paid for one at the bar earlier, and that was just $5.25. But at the sports book bar, it was $15!!! My mom got a hamburger and it came out with a little B for Bally's branded on the bun, which was sort of cute. My cousin got a reuben which she said was just OK. The slots in the casino were very tight. I wasted a $20 in less than 2 minutes which is not enjoyable to me. I was playing on the house money (the $25 free slot play) for a couple of hours on the bar video blackjack machine and I was having a nice time. Maya was a very attentive bartender. It wasn't really that busy but she did make sure to check on me frequently. I doubt I would come back to this casino. It was fun to go to another city but I will spend my money elsewhere.

It offers a small, but quaint casino that is lucky to have a Smoking/Non-Smoking section, based on your tobacco needs. There is a bar in the center of the casino that serves $1 bottles on Mondays (based on my experience) after 4pm. Nearby is Fun City, so if you are up here on a family vacation, you can have fun with the kids all day at Fun City and then pop over to Catfish Bend for some adult entertainment.
