Pinnacle Entertainment realizes most gamblers don't know when they've reached their peak. The The Las Vegas-based gaming company actually has no casinos in Vegas; instead, the regional casino operator owns seven casinos in Indiana, Louisiana, Missouri, and Reno, Nevada. Most of its properties cater to locals or those within easy driving distance. Three of Pinnacle's locations operate under the Boomtown banner. Its L'Auberge du Lac Hotel & Casino property in Lake Charles, Louisiana, is the company's largest casino resort. In St. Louis, the company owns Lumière Place (including the Lumière Place Casino, the Pinnacle-owned Four Seasons Hotel St. Louis, and HoteLumière) and the River City Casino.
