Council Bluffs Travel Tips
Council Bluffs travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • You New Zealanders would enjoy! Although pales by comparison to your landscape. It's a breath of fresh air and something original to see after all that rural driving!! Which I loathe! :)  Patty W.
  • stay at the cheapo highway 80 best western and take the shuttle to harrahs for a night of gambling fun!  Emily B.
  • Council Bluffs is okay; standard Midwest town from what I can tell. However, if you're looking for more to do, cross the border and just minutes away is Omaha's Old Market. Old Market offers more interesting and posh lodging, dining, nightlife, and people-watching. Also, be sure to visit the Bemis …  Nicole B.
