Concerts at the venue, which held up to 1,000 people, were often "all ages" events,[1] with just over one percent restricted to patrons 21 and over.[citation needed]
Closure
In early 2003, rumors began circulating that the club would close to make way for Horseshoe St. Louis (at the time known as Lumière Place), a new casino development. The rumors were confirmed in early 2007, and the last show was held on January 19, 2007.[1]
The last band to play on its stage was The Urge fronted by a band member from Mudworm, which also played. The Urge sold out 93 of 100 shows at Mississippi Nights.[citation needed]
