Par-A-Dice Hotel and Casino is a casino located on the Illinois River off Illinois Route 116/U.S. Route 150 in East Peoria, Illinois, United States.
The Par-A-Dice opened in 1991 in Peoria, Illinois, and moved across the river to East Peoria in 1993.[5] Originally established with local investors,[5] it was later sold to Boyd Gaming.
The Par-A-Dice had cruised the Illinois River 10 times daily during its early years, but stopped cruising altogether after Illinois dropped the requirement for riverboat casinos to leave their docks in June 1999. However, as the result of a new U.S. Coast Guard annual requirement, the riverboat set off for a few hours in the morning in June 2010 for the first time in 11 years.[1]

The restaurant business around Peoria has taken a hit over the past 18 months, thanks in large part to the coronavirus pandemic.
Restrictions on indoor dining for much of that time helped push some eateries out of business. But people still have to eat. And a lot of people don't like to cook.
In 2021, a number of restaurants opened in Peoria and in adjacent communities. What follows is a non-comprehensive rundown of them.
Should any openings be missing, please send details to nvlahos@pjstar.com and we'll update this story.
Dac's Smokehouse East Peoria
A second location of Dac's, first established on the West Bluff of Peoria, opened during the winter at 1100 N. Main St. in East Peoria. It's next to the convenience store at the Shell gasoline station across the street from the Par-A-Dice casino and hotel. Barbecue is the focus, including some different takes on it (like egg rolls and wraps).
