Found in Welch Township at 5734 Sturgeon Lake Road, this former bingo hall now offers thousands of slots, and if you want to switch things up, you can check out the action at one of the numerous blackjack tables or pull up a seat at one of the tables in the poker room.

A satisfying array of dining options are available to visitors at the Treasure Island Resort and Casino, and if you're not quite sure what you want, the buffet restaurant might be a good place to start. At least one of the dining venues at the Treasure Island Casino is open around the clock, thus coinciding with the 24-hour gaming action, and if you want to enjoy a more unique dining experience, a lunch or dinner cruise is worth considering. These lunch and dinner cruises take to the waters of the Mississippi River, so they naturally double as sightseeing cruises. The two and a half hour Sunday Brunch cruise is especially popular, perhaps due to the fact that passengers of legal age can enjoy bloody Marys and mimosas on the side.

The Treasure Island Resort and Casino has little trouble attracting visitors, and this is largely due to the fact that it is found to the near southeast of Minneapolis and St. Paul. Wherever you are coming from, staying overnight can be an option, thanks to the attached hotel and the RV park. The rooms and suites at the hotel offer a considerable amount of comfort and elegance for the price, with the more spacious suites providing some extra perks, such as multiple TVs and whirlpool tubs. Over at the RV park, 95 camping sites await, and they all have full hookups. It is worth mentioning that guests at the RV Park and the hotel can enjoy the resort's bowling alley, its 18-hole Mt. Frontenac golf course, its arcade, or its indoor pool when they aren't relaxing, spending time at the casino, or enjoying side trips to regional attractions.

The Treasure Island Resort and Casino also has its own marina. This marina on the Mississippi River offers temporary slips for boaters, as well as overnight and seasonal slips. It also features a bar that is open on the weekends, and complimentary shuttle service to and from the casino is available for visiting boaters.
