“wish they had more non-smoking areas”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed April 4, 2012

Love the buffets, action, activity of casinos. Would go there more often, but hate to so quickly have my clothes become a sponge for the smoke. There's no need for a rush of smoky air to waft at you. Plenty of casinos (here and in KC) seem to know to have air handling equip to at least try to not... More

Becca, thanks for your review. We do have a non-smoking section in the casino and in addition, we regularly replace the air throughout the casino every 8 minutes. Also we're starting work on a project to add several additional exhaust fans to remove more smoke from the area and improve the quality of air. The project is scheduled to start... More

“A little something for everyone!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 21, 2012

person found this review helpful

Not only is it a casino that has the newest slots and plenty of table games including a poker room, but there are quite a few choices when it comes to eating, and for those not interested in gambling they have a movie theatre, arcade & a kids quest for the little ones. All around a great place to go. More

person found this review helpful

I drove a motor coach loaded with forty employees to the Ameristar. No perks offered to drivers. The layout was done well with many restaurant choices along with a huge buffet. All were pricey except the burger king. I love Arthur Bryant's BBQ so I was pleased that was one of the choices. Comfortable couches in the hotel lobby for... More

“Very nice for a casino property”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 9, 2011

I traveled to the Ameristar due to a work trip and my stay was 4 nights. We also ate in the restaurants on property for 3 evenings. Initially I was concerned about the cigarette smoke smell when we first entered, but it really wasn't too bad as the hotel is a ways from the casino. I really appreciated that you... More

“Decent casino”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 16, 2011

Easy acces off of I-435; ample parking. Table games are located near the rear; a bit hard to find at first because of the multitude of slots. Separate hi-limit room. Casino personnel were friendly. Double deck blackjack available. More
