Riverboat Casino Still Cruising

CLINTON, Iowa -- As reported by the Quad City Times and the Associated Press: "A stream of visitors, clutching wallets and purses, climbs off tour buses from Illinois nearly every day at Clinton's riverfront. .

"Many are Chicago-area residents coming to gamble on the Mississippi Belle II riverboat casino, where they count on seeing scenic river views from the boat's deck. .

"That's why Belle II president Ken Bonnet said the boat will continue its two-hour cruises during the week this season, even though a requirement exists that riverboats cruise at least 100 times a year ended July 1.

"...The Clinton riverboat leaves its dock on the shoreline of Riverview Park to cruise from 1-3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

"Bonnett said several tour bus companies asked for a commitment that the cruises would continue before making early bookings this season. The practice will be re-evaluated this winter..."
