The Empress Riverboat Casino has acres of parking for cars, trucks, buses, and motorhomes and just a few thousand square feet for helicopters, too.

In the southeastern section of the main parking area, you will find portion segmented out with a great big H lettered in white.

The airnav.com link states there is a lighted wind indicator, but I did not see any such device or a wind sock. Does not mean they are not there, I just did not see them.
