History
editThe casino began as a riverboat casino named The President in 1991 shortly after the legalization of gambling in Iowa. It later became the Rhythm City Casino, but the casino moved to a land-based site in the Northern part of Davenport in 2016. The former boat was still parked on the river in Davenport until late 2016.[1] When the property moved additional outlets were added to the property including three restaurants, Ruthie's Steak & Seafood, Draft Day Sports Lounge, and Robert's Buffet. As well as a full service spa.[2] Rhythm City's Event Center has brought several big acts through the Quad Cities including legendary acts like The Charlie Daniels Band, Eddie Money, Wayne Newton and Trace Adkins. Others who have performed since the opening in 2016 is Sara Evans, Gary Allan, Chris Janson, and Josh Turner. Several comedians have performed there also including Carlos Mencia, Frank Caliendo, and Craig Ferguson.
