MVPBA is the Mississippi Valley Power Boat Association. Grandstand is near the foot of Hamilton. Docked upon the Illinois River, the Par-A-Dice Hotel Casino couples Las Vegas excitement with the finest central Illinois hospitality. Four decks offer a wide selection of new slot and table games, as well as old favorites. The boat's last trip - from Rock Island to Peoria - covered 600 miles and took seven days, he said. 'The boat went down the Mississippi to St. Louis and then came up the Illinois River,' said Hamm.

Par-A-Dice Hotel and Casino is a casino located on the Illinois River off Illinois Route 116/U.S. Route 150 in East Peoria, Illinois, United States.
The Par-A-Dice opened in 1991 in Peoria, Illinois, and moved across the river to East Peoria in 1993.[5] Originally established with local investors,[5] it was later sold to Boyd Gaming.
The Par-A-Dice had cruised the Illinois River 10 times daily during its early years, but stopped cruising altogether after Illinois dropped the requirement for riverboat casinos to leave their docks in June 1999. However, as the result of a new U.S. Coast Guard annual requirement, the riverboat set off for a few hours in the morning in June 2010 for the first time in 11 years.[1]
