The new land-based Rhythm City Casino to open in May 2016
The new land-based casino is set to open next year May at interstates 74 and 80. Rhythm City Casino, which was known as Treble Clef replaced The President in 2011 before it was changed from a tour boat to a gambling boat. The President was the first gambling boat to anchor in the Davenport riverfront.
It cost Rhythm City $23 million to renovate the casino in Davenport, although the boat is known as Rhythm City, it is still registered as Treble Clef, Hyder added.
On Monday, the “Riverboat Development Authority” was updated on the progress of the new casino. “The project is progressing well and is on schedule” Hyder says. They have hired 200 contractors who are working enthusiastically to get the building closed between Thanksgiving and Christmas so work can continue inside, he added.
