Council Bluffs sits directly across the Missouri River from Omaha, NE, and hosts four casinos in close proximity — Harrah's, Horseshoe, Ameristar, and Hard Rock. The combined Omaha–Council Bluffs metro creates a substantial labor market. Iowa's riverboat gaming regulations give the market a distinct operational framework.
Council Bluffs and the Omaha metro offer very affordable Midwest living. The Iowa side has lower property taxes and a quieter residential character while maintaining easy access to Omaha amenities.
The Council Bluffs–Omaha casino cluster generates over $500M annually and is one of the most competitive riverboat markets in the Midwest.
