Council Bluffs is an Iowa city of about 65,000 across the Missouri River from Omaha, functionally part of the Omaha metro and often treated as Omaha's eastern suburb. Home to Iowa's largest casino district (three riverboat casinos), the historic General Dodge House (1869 Civil War general's Victorian mansion), and Harrah's/Horseshoe gaming, Council Bluffs serves both gaming tourism and working-class Omaha metro residents. Residents cross the Missouri River daily for work, shopping, and healthcare in Omaha's expanded metro market. Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital provides Council Bluffs' primary acute care.
