Rising Star Casino Resort, Casino and resort complex in Rising Sun, Indiana, US.
Rising Star Casino Resort is a gaming and lodging complex in Rising Sun, Indiana, offering slot machines, table games, dining, and a hotel with nearly 300 guest rooms. The property also includes a theater and an outdoor golf course, making it one of the larger resort destinations along this stretch of the Ohio River.
The resort began as a riverboat casino operating on the Ohio River, which was the standard format for legal gambling in Indiana at the time. Over the years it transitioned to a land-based complex as state regulations evolved, taking on its current shape as a full resort.
A theater on the grounds hosts live shows throughout the year, featuring regional performers across different genres. The venue draws locals and visitors alike, giving the resort a role beyond gaming in the area's social life.
The resort is open around the clock, so timing is flexible, though weekends tend to be busier. Booking a room in advance is a good idea, especially when shows or events are scheduled at the theater.
The resort sits right on the bank of the Ohio River, and from parts of the grounds you can look directly across into Kentucky. This position on the state border once made the river crossing a natural route for visitors coming from the other side.
