Remember when a trip to the casino here was referred to as “going to the boat?”
Well the boat, called the City of Evansville sailed away two years ago after Tropicana brought the casino ashore.
It was taken to New Orleans for a refurbishing and repurpose.
This Saturday, the 310 foot paddle wheeler will be re-commissioned as the event venue Louis Armstrong, based in New Orleans.
The former Cioty of Evansville underwent a multi-million dollar refit and has forsaken the Mighty Ohio for the Mississippi.
