Editing Council Bluffs, Iowa (section)

====Casino Row====
Casino Row is located on and near the Missouri River south of West Broadway and Interstate 480, west of South 35th St. and Interstate 29, and north of [[Interstate 80]] along 23rd Avenue west of South 24th St. The opening of the Bluffs Run Greyhound Park in 1986, now the [[Horseshoe Council Bluffs]], was followed in the mid-1990s by [[riverboat casino]]s operated by [[Ameristar Casinos|Ameristar]] and Harvey's Casino Hotel (now [[Harrah's Council Bluffs]]). New development in this previously industrial area has included the [[Mid-America Center]], several restaurants and hotels, and other businesses. The appearance of legalized gambling in Council Bluffs became a major issue in neighboring Omaha where Mayor [[Hal Daub]] had declared Iowa an "XXX state" in 1995 as horse-racing came to an end at [[Ak-Sar-Ben (arena)|Ak-Sar-Ben]].
