Isle of Capri Casino

022020
 CLOSED - may be reopening as the Horseshoe Casino

This is a good overnight stop but the RV parking section is under the I-10 which makes it noisy. There’s also a train that comes through frequently. Even with all of the noise we still got a good nights sleep, maybe because the noise is fairly constant.

 The best way to get to the casino from the lot is to stay close to the river and enter the building from the dock where the river boat is moored. The casino is on the boat so you must take an elevator up a floor and cross over to the boat. We usually don’t like riverboat casinos because they’re too cramped. This one is okay with wide aisles and easy to move chairs. Some of the machines have high ticket dispensers that are hard to reach.  We only visited one floor of the casino and I think that there are two separate riverboats but we never found the entrance to the second one. (we didn’t look very hard)

The parking area is large enough for any size RV. It’s a little hard to find. After exiting the interstate follow the signs.You’ll come to a stop sign with another sign for truck parking , go straight through the stop sign. This road curves around and you’ll come to a RV parking sign on the left. There are also a few spots in the next lot for RVs with electrical hookups-no water or dump. The spaces are tight with the electric hookups between the sites, leaving very little room for extending a lift. One of the end sites might work-if you pull in backwards the lift could extend out to the parking lot. They’re $10.00 a night with some hotel privileges.  Isle of Capri Casino
