Where the venue is fixed
The venue is River City Casino in Lemay, Missouri. Publicly published reference sources place it on the western bank of the Mississippi River, and the documented coordinates are 38.5308, -90.2645.
Those coordinates are the stable part of the question. Branding, ownership, and facility details can change over time, but a location article starts with the fixed point on the map and then relates that point to other named places using documented straight-line measurements.

How to read those numbers correctly
A straight-line measurement is the shortest path between two coordinates over the earth's surface. It is useful for orientation because it shows broad geographic separation without depending on a particular road choice, border crossing pattern, bridge location, or local street approach.
That is also why straight-line distance is not a substitute for an on-road itinerary. Real trips bend around rivers and other water, follow the shape of the road network, detour around barriers, and sometimes become longer when a route crosses state lines or has limited crossing points.
For this venue, the Mississippi River matters to how you interpret map space. The property is documented as being on the western bank, so even very short straight-line separations on a map can translate into longer practical routes once bridge placement and street access are taken into account.
Its position within Missouri
River City Casino is in Lemay, in the state of Missouri. Using the documented coordinates, it sits in the eastern part of Missouri because its longitude is far to the east within the state, and it is near St Louis in the published straight-line matrix.
The same coordinates also place it north of many Gulf Coast reference points in the table and west of several East Coast reference points. That kind of north-south and east-west reading is the main value of coordinates: they let you compare relative position without inventing unsupported road details.
Ownership and opening date as fixed-reference context
Publicly published reference sources state that the venue opened on March 4, 2010. The same sources identify Gaming and Leisure Properties as owner, while also stating that the property is operated by Penn Entertainment.
Those details do not change the map location, but they help distinguish this venue from similarly named businesses or older references that may use different operating or ownership language. As with all casino properties, ownership and branding can change over time, so readers should treat these as documented reference points rather than permanent conditions.
What to confirm before you go
If you are planning a real trip, confirm the live details from the venue's own contact and visitor channels before you leave. The changeable items are not the coordinates or the city, but the practical matters around arrival: current access arrangements, parking setup, hotel availability if any, venue amenities, and the day's operating information.
If you need road mileage from your own starting point, use the venue's documented coordinates, 38.5308 and -90.2645, or search by the venue name together with Lemay, Missouri in a current mapping service. That will give you a route from your exact origin, which this article cannot do because it only reports documented great-circle pairs.
It is also worth checking whether the place name you are comparing against appears in the published straight-line list. If it does not, this article cannot measure that pair and should not guess; in that case, use the coordinates as the common reference and let your map tool calculate from your own location.
FAQ
How far is River City Casino from St Louis?
The documented figure is 7.6 miles straight-line from St Louis. That is a great-circle measurement between reference points, not a road trip figure. If you need the on-road distance from your exact starting point in the St Louis area, check a current map service because road mileage will be longer and depends on the route used.
Can this article tell me the driving distance or travel time?
No. This article only gives documented straight-line distances, and it states plainly that road distance is longer. Driving mileage and travel time depend on the specific starting point, the available road network, river crossings, and route choices, so the authoritative current answer comes from a live mapping tool rather than a fixed reference table.
Where exactly is River City Casino located?
Publicly published reference sources place it in Lemay, Missouri, on the western bank of the Mississippi River, at documented coordinates 38.5308, -90.2645. If you are comparing it with your own position, use those coordinates or the venue name with Lemay, Missouri in a map service to generate a route from where you are.
