Location and Transportation

Venue Address

Riverside Casino & Golf Resort

3184 Highway 22

Riverside, Iowa 52327

Located about 15 miles south of Iowa City—roughly a 20-minute drive—this Eastern Iowa destination is convenient for both locals and travelers coming in for a concert, a weekend stay, or a round of golf.

• Parking: Ample free on-site parking in surface lots adjacent to the casino and hotel.
• Public Transit: Limited public transit options available.
• Rideshare & Dropoff: Designated pickup/dropoff area near the main entrance.

Arrival Recommendations

Plan to arrive 60–90 minutes before showtime. This gives you time to park, pick up or scan your Riverside Casino & Golf Resort tickets, explore dining options, and get settled before the lights dim. If an event uses general admission, coming early helps you secure your preferred spot.

Most amenities at the resort are indoors, so weather is rarely a factor for shows—though outdoor amenities like the golf course and some pool areas are weather-dependent. If you’re making a day of it, check the forecast for tee times or outdoor relaxation before heading inside for the evening’s entertainment.

The property is large and walkable, with the casino, hotel, and event spaces situated across a connected complex. Wear comfortable shoes and budget extra time for moving between the parking lots, gaming floor, restaurants, and the Event Center. Rideshare pickup is near the main entrance, making it easy to head out after the show.

Venue Navigation

The resort’s layout is designed for convenience—enter through the main casino entrance to access gaming, restaurants, and pathways to the hotel and Event Center. Wayfinding signs are posted throughout, and staff can direct you to ticketing, will call (if in use for your event), and your seating area.

Concessions and bars operate around the casino and event spaces, with multiple restaurants on-site offering everything from steakhouse dinners to casual bites. You’ll find restrooms and ATMs positioned throughout, plus charging stations in hotel and casino areas. A gift shop makes it easy to grab merchandise or essentials before or after the show. Because the venue spans a large footprint, comfortable footwear is recommended.

Post-Purchase Tips — Be Ready for Event Day

• If you plan to explore the property, allow extra time to walk between parking, the casino floor, and the Event Center.

Pre-Event Planning

Make the most of your visit by exploring the resort’s amenities before showtime. Book a dinner at Ruthie’s Steak & Seafood for a classic steakhouse experience, grab a casual bite at 22 & Vine, or head to Draft Day Sports Lounge to catch the game and enjoy drinks. With multiple dining options steps from the Event Center, planning a seamless night out is easy.

If you’re staying overnight, schedule time for the 18-hole championship golf course—known for scenic views—or unwind at the full-service spa. As the sun sets, outdoor areas and some hotel rooms offer lovely views across the grounds, creating a perfect lead-in to your evening performance.

Attending with a group? Choose a central meeting spot—such as the lobby near the main entrance or a designated restaurant—so everyone can regroup before heading to their sections. With flexible seating configurations, checking the Riverside Casino & Golf Resort seating chart in advance helps ensure everyone lands in the right place.
