Overall, my stay at Ameristar Casino Hotel in Kansas City had its highs and lows. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although I noticed they could use a little more attention to cleaning. The casino had a lively atmosphere, but I found the gaming options to feel tighter than in the past, and dining options were somewhat limited. While I appreciated some friendly staff interactions, the overall experience left me questioning some of the casino’s value.

I had a disappointing experience at the sports bar where the food lacked flavor, and my wife's drink was not up to par. The fried cheese curds were a highlight, but overall, the dining options could use improvement.

My stay at Ameristar Casino Hotel Kansas City was a mixed bag. While the casino atmosphere was lively and fun, my hotel room left much to be desired, particularly in terms of cleanliness. The staff were friendly and accommodating, but unfortunately, my experience with the room was disappointing.

Rooms

5.0

I was shocked by how unclean my room was. The bathtub wasn't cleaned well, and the shower liner had mold. When I pay over $120 for a night, I expect better than that. My sister-in-law also had a terrible experience with checking in - our connecting rooms were not ready, which added to my frustration during my stay.

Service

7.0

On the plus side, the staff were friendly and responsive. I did reach out to the front desk about my room conditions, and they were helpful, even though it didn't resolve my issue. The positive interactions with the staff were definitely a highlight of my visit.

Location

6.0

The hotel is located a short drive from downtown and is only minutes away from Worlds of Fun, which is a plus. However, overall, it's kind of isolated, being away from major attractions.

Dining

I didn’t get to try the buffet myself, but other guests rave about it, especially the seafood options. The dining variety seemed decent, which would be nice if I had the opportunity to explore it more. Next time, I definitely wanna check it out!

Facilities

6.0

The casino was large and had a great atmosphere, with plenty of gaming options. Plus, there're activities for kids, which is nice for families. But I felt like the hotel facilities could use some upgrades, especially since I've stayed at other Ameristar locations that were in better shape.
