Metropolis is an easy drive from Nashville and St. The boat has sailed and the casino has moved into the convention center attached to the hotel so everything is on one level and visitors have all of the amenities at their fingertips. Harrah’s Metropolis has been known as 'The Boat' to visitors since it opened in 1993 but that changed at the end of 2014. Betting on sports futures, props and lay bets.
