Already on my radar are the casinos in Council Bluffs and the Strategic Air Command Museum. Is the Mormon winter-over museum worth seeing?
FYI— NCAA college baseball world series is in Omaha in mid June — fri June 14-Mon June 24. Fri-Thur is the group stage, Sat-Mon is a best of 3 finals
Fri, sun group A has 2 games
sat, Mon group B has 2 games
I think game times are at 2 pm and 7 pm/ 90 min after first game ends they empty the stadium and read mitt new fans
Tue-Thu elimination games
Friday is a rain make up date buffer
