Montgomery Inn is on the river in Cincinnati and is a good place to get ribs. Apparently the Rookwood restaurant closed. It was a restaurant in the old Rookwood Pottery factory. Hofbrauhaus is in Newport Kentucky. Cincinnati has a decent bus system, not as good as Vegas. Research where it goes. Your hotel can help.
They have really interesting food and wine tours. We went on the Mainstrasse Village Food tour thru Cincinnati Riverside Food Tours. It was a walking tour. Really interesting. Gives you an historical view of Covington Kentucky. There is also several wine tours in Cincinnati which are supposed to be interesting.
Hyde Park is an older section that is very eclectic. Coney Island is a small amusement park in Cincinnati. The Art museum is nice to tour if you like art. The zoo is very large and has a variety of animals. The Union Terminal has a collection of museums about Cincinnati.
It is very hard to navigate Cincinnati because of all of the interstates running thru downtown. Taxis are expensive, but Uber is decent.
The casino downtown, Jack's, is all nonsmoking. Very nice. It has a Margaritaville restaurant and a fair buffet. The Hollywood in Lawrenceburg is in Indiana. It is large but dark. Ceilings are very high. I have never really liked gambling there. Although, I usually end up with more than what I started with. About 20 minutes down a country road from Hollywood is Rising Star casino. A true riverboat casino!!! Small, older machines, smoky, meh food but I usually win well there. Except the damn Red Hot Jackpots!!
