Great theater, as well!

This casino is designed to suck your bank account dry. Stay away. Talked to lots of local players who have never had a win on their slots. The slots I played have a payout rate of 0. I played 10 different two credit quarter machines, 10 bucks each and did not get one single credit. That's right, not one single cherry on a Friday night. I saw lots of angry people leaving this place.

Ameristar has added all the newest slots with signs on them designating if they are new. They have changed their players club so that comps are now maintained. The hotel is beautiful but it doesn't have a fitness center, pool or anything like that. There is a gift shop, but comps cannot be used there. There is a movie theater and arcade on the property and several restaurants.
It's a nice casino.

Food OK, but definitely over priced, $3.50 for a beer at table game after a 25-minute wait. Dealers attitude less than friendly, matter of fact it sucked.

Slots very tight, being from Mo. I have learned that the Missouri gaming tax is highest in country, 41% while Nevada's is 7% and Tunica, Ms is 11% or so. Guess this explains tight slots & pricey drinks.

Save your money and take a couple days off and go to Tunica. All 9 casinos are good (horseshoe & gold strike) are my favorites. Good comps, rooms & food - just like vegas 40 yrs ago. They appreciate your business and show it.

I like Ameristar....that being said, I will deal with the negatives only.

Poor comps and point system. Many very old slots. Faded wheels.

No free drinks while you wager - not their fault, but a reason to save your money and go to Vegas.

Isolated location. No other place to walk to or go to. You are stuck right there. This is the same with all KC casinos - another reason to save and go to Vegas.
