If you just want to get away for a weekend and want to go somewhere in the mid west I highly recommend Harrahs, Council Bluffs. They treat every guest like you're the only one in the hotel. Youll also enjoy the following perks during your stay: Free self parking. Free in-room WiFi and a business center are available to all guests. I have never had any problems with either my room or with the staff. Located close to Stir Cove and Harrahs Council Bluffs Casino, BridgePointe Inn & Suites provides free continental breakfast, 18 holes of golf, and laundry facilities. When you gamble you accumulate points that can be used for food discounts and comps. While you're there explore all of their eating options. If you go for a weekend plan on driving a short distance to the Omaha Zoo.
It was the weekend of the Belmont stakes, there was plenty of exciting racing to watch and wager on. We also went to the Horseshoe casino (a partner of Harrahs) to wager on horse and dog races. They've got some good shows at fair prices. You can bring a blanket or lawn chair and sit on the grassy hill in front if the stage.There are no bad seats! Check out their concert schedule for the summer at Harrahs/stir cove concert series. Harrahs has an outdoor amphitheater for concerts that seats about 3000. If you know this band from the 90's you know how good they are. The Saturday evening we were there they had a concert performed by Collective Souls. It's only a three hour drive from Kansas City. Went to Harrahs in Council Bluffs Iowa for a weekend getaway.
