Home to cheese curds and beer festivals, La Crosse, Wisconsin sits on bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River. You can find seasonal activities in and around the city, including fishing, boating and birding, but you'll need to travel out of town for casino games. In western Wisconsin, the Ho-Chunk tribe entertains visitors at two casinos, and neighboring Iowa and Minnesota each offer unique casino destinations.
Whitetail Crossing Casino
Unless you are participating in other area activities, this Ho-Chunk casino in Tomah isn't a destination gaming facility. It's a small casino attached to the Whitetail Crossing Convenience Store with nearly 100 slot machines. It doesn't have a restaurant, hotel or table games. It's 45 miles from La Crosse, in an interesting region that grows cranberries and hosts winter sports such as snowmobiling and cross-country skiing.
Majestic Pines Bingo and Casino
Another Ho-Chunk casino 48 miles northeast of La Crosse in Black River Falls offers 600 reel and digital slot machines. If you like to play the tables, you can enjoy several games of roulette, blackjack and poker, including Texas Hold 'Em. For the bingo players, this casino has a hall with electronic and scheduled games. The attached hotel at Majestic Pines Bingo and Casino has 60 rooms -- including some with whirlpools -- conference rooms and an indoor pool with water slide. If you get hungry, you can choose from a cafe, buffet or poker bar.
Lady Luck Casino
Casino Near Mississippi River Campgrounds
Across the Mississippi River and south 60 miles, Lady Luck is a destination casino where Pinky the Elephant stands guard in a top hat. It's a classic riverboat establishment moored in a marina near Marquette, Iowa. While there's no hotel, it offers several dining choices, including a buffet, and also features scheduled entertainment. Choose among 550 slot machines and a robust schedule of card games, including blackjack and Texas Hold 'Em. This casino's most convenient feature is that it offers daily bus service to and from La Crosse.
Treasure Island Resort and Casino
This Minnesota casino north of Red Wing is 105 miles from La Crosse. Treasure Island is a 150,000-square-foot destination casino within driving or boating distance. The casino has more than 2,200 slot machines and a recently remodeled bingo hall. You'll find 27 blackjack tables and the only live poker room in the region. In the summer, the casino offers river cruises on a private yacht built in La Crosse.

NATCHEZ
Natchez, Mississippi is a quaint town located on the Mississippi River border with Louisiana. The history of Natchez, along with the casinos located on the River, brings in thousands of tourists every year.
There are just over 15,500 residents consisting of 7,500 males and 8,000 females. Of the 15,500 residents, 58.5% are black, 39% are white, and less than 5% are Hispanic, Asian, and American Indian. Only 160 of the residents in Natchez are foreign born.
In the population of residents 25 years or older, 81.4% completed high school, and 28.5% have a Bachelor's degree or higher, which is above state average.

The median household income, which falls at $24,542, is over $10,000 less than the median household income for the state of Mississippi. There are 9.3% of the residents in Natchez that are unemployed, and 35.9% of the residents are living in poverty.
According to the Natchez Mayor Butch Brown, the additions of the casinos in Natchez have had positive effects on the town and it's economy.
'The idea started back in 1992,' Brown said, 'and the community was a little apprehensive at first. But I am pleased to say that after all these years, the benefits have largely outweighed the disadvantages.'
Brown said that when the casinos first arrived, the city government looked for signs as to whether the casinos were going to hurt the community.
'We looked at disconnects of utilities, residents asking for more welfare and other kinds of public funding,' Brown said. 'But we have notices that the people who are gaming are able to afford to do it.'
The negative effects of the casinos have been minor, Brown said, and the money derived from the casinos has been very beneficial to Natchez.
'We've been able to pave streets, create affordable housing, and other public works,' Brown said. 'We have done things that we normally wouldn't have been able to do.'
Trevor Farmer, a Natchez resident, says that the historic nature of the town combined with the casinos entices people to visit Natchez.
'We have Antebellum homes that people come and tour throughout the year,' Farmer said. 'There is also a pilgrimage event that lasts about a month every fall and spring that brings in tourists.'

The pilgrimage consists of plays put on by the local townspeople, in addition to the tours of Natchez and the historic homes.
