In June 1994, Argosy officials announced they were losing interest in establishing a casino near downtown St Louis, citing decreased profit potential as one of the reasons they were distancing themselves from the project.

Along these lines, a tropical-themed, dockside summer entertainment venue dubbed Argosy Island opened in Alton in early 1996, concurrent with the completion of a 50,000-square-foot, five-story atrium festival center in Catfish Town next to the company's Baton Rouge casino.
