The Americana Hollywood Museum and Superman Museum are stuffed full of one man's lifelong collections - just $5.00 for both of them. Come sample cuisine at the restaurants, partake in exciting entertainment, and do a little gaming at Harrah's Metropolis Hotel & Casino in Southern Illinois.
If you're a fan of movie memorabilia or Superman comics and movies, don't miss the two museums in town. Get the best deals and members-only offers. Illinois has a strict 'no smoking in public places' law so the casino is completely smoke free. It's spread out on three floors with sections of older mechanical slots and new video slots. I never found the video poker machines but they're supposed to have some. The casino is on a river boat but surprisingly roomy. If we stay here again we'll try parking in a far corner of the lot to stay out of the pathway of the truckers maneuvering to get into the spaces. It was also noisy from constant truck traffic. This lot is fairly large and was mostly empty when we stopped on a Tuesday night. The longer spaces are well used by tractor trailers so we parked a few rows down. Oversized parking is on the right after you drive under the arched sign over the casino lot entrance way. The route to Harrahs does run through Metropolis but the city is pretty dead - little traffic and well marked with signs so navigating is not really a problem.
