Argosy Sioux City Riverboat closing?

The Argosy Sioux City Riverboat was to close July 22nd of 2014.  The Argosy license was not renewed because it doesn’t meet state gaming license requirements.  A land-based Hard Rock is slated to open in late July or August of 2014 in Sioux City to take it's place.

The high court granted an emergency stay of a district court order requiring the casino to close July 22nd.  The stay will be in effect while the state Supreme Court considers whether to hear Argosy’s appeal of the district court’s order to close.

Update 7/30/14: Argosy lost its appeal and closed on July 30th of 2014
