Rising Star's Christmas Casino Is A Festive Attraction Near Cincinnati

This time of year, the Christmas spirit can be found everywhere you look – even in the most unexpected places. With so many holiday events taking place throughout the Tristate, perhaps you’d like to try something new that doesn’t involve a trip to the mall or a crowded, popular gathering. Surprisingly located within Rising Star Casino Resort in nearby Rising Sun, Indiana, the Christmas Casino is a beautiful event that’s happening now and runs through the end of December. You won’t want to miss this one-of-a-kind Christmas town that features holiday fun for the whole family.

Rising Star Casino is a well-known attraction just under an hour’s drive from Cincinnati, but its holiday festivities tend to fly under the radar. However, once you visit this Christmas town, you'll quickly realize that you've discovered a hidden gem.

The casino is decked out in countless lights, trees, and decorations, making the exciting space even more eye-catching. Adults can stay and make a night of it, but the whole family is welcome to come and hang out in the beautiful Christmas Casino area.

Within the Christmas Casino, you'll find a Christmas Market Village that's filled with unique and timeless gifts. Authentic European Heritage items, imported Black Forest heirloom cuckoo clocks, and personalized ornaments are all available for purchase, among a variety of other gifts and decor.

And, of course, any trip to a Christmas town has to include a visit with Santa! Mr. and Mrs. Claus arrived at the casino in style (via the ferry) and are now anxiously waiting to hear your wish list. Avoid the crowds of other places and reserve your personal time with Santa in advance here.

Rising Star has really gone above and beyond this year with the incredibly beautiful decor. The main tree is particularly special, as it plays music at the top of every hour!

After you've had your fill of the indoor Christmas Casino, head outside and say hello to eight adorable reindeer. These lovable guys are on loan from Santa and are so much fun to see in person. You can even keep an eye on them from afar on the casino’s live Reindeer Cam!
