But where will it take place?

(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - Argosy Casino called Lawrenceburg home from 1998 to 2009.

It's final resting place will be at the bottom of the Alabama Gulf Coast.

According to officials in Orange Beach, Alabama, the former Indiana riverboat casino will be sunk about 23 miles south of Orange Beach. The boat will settle at a depth of 122 feet, creating a new habitat for marine life.

The Argosy VI has been docked in Bayou La Batre, Alabama for numerous years.

The vessel is four levels tall, more than 80 feet wide and 408 feet long.
