A Guide to Kansas City Casinos

Kansas City’s winning destination touts hot slots, world-class tables and nonstop thrills. Whether you’re in the mood for fine dining or the thrill of this state-of-the-art casino floor, ArgosyCasino & Hotel takes your experience to the next level. 

Top restaurant options include 99 Hops House and Journey Woodfired Steaks, in addition to international favorites like Asian fusion and authentic Mexican street tacos.

When the night’s over, rest up for another big day by staying in the onsite AAA 4-Diamond hotel—fresh off a multimillion-dollar renovation.

Based in buzzy North Kansas City, Harrah’s Casino and Hotel is a player’s paradise thanks to more than 1,300 slot and video poker machines and 60 table games. But where it truly shines is with its World Series of Poker room—the only such space in the entire city.

Not to mention the nearly 400 guest rooms, ideal for late nights spent gaming or enjoying one of the popular live shows at the VooDoo Lounge venue, which regularly hosts notable music acts, MMA fights, dancefloor fun and more.

Onsite restaurants are a stellar plus as well, including Gordon Ramsay Steak, a prominent addition to KC’s high-end culinary scene.

Located just east of downtown Kansas City, Ameristar Casino Hotel Kansas City offers something for everyone: one of the largest casino floors in Missouri, seven dining venues, a luxury hotel and more. Ameristar also offers convenient parking in a five-level, 2,660 space parking structure with an enclosed, climate-controlled walkway to the casino and entertainment center.

Don’t forget lunch or dinner. A balanced mix of upscale and relaxed offerings—including KC Chop House—means you can treat loved ones to date nights or fuel up before you hit the gaming floor. Plus, with the area’s largest indoor TV screen at Amerisports Brew Pub, what more could you ask for?

Turn after turn of thrilling action makes Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway one of the most unique venues in the city. The KCK casino shares a site with racetrack Kansas Speedway, host of two high-speed NASCAR events each year.

In addition to the track, visitors will find 2,000 slot machines, 52 table games and five restaurants. And while there’s no hotel onsite, plenty of other nearby accommodations have what you need to recharge before another full day of entertainment.

Hit up Bally’s Kansas City riverboat for a fantastic time that you won’t soon forget. Kick back with more than 1,000 different slot machines and dozens of table games—no matter your gaming preference, there’s a spot for you here.

Grab a bite at 1800 Noodle Bar, a 20-seat restaurant featuring Vietnamese and Chinese cuisine, or catch the game at the onsite cocktail spot, Tiki Bar.

Also located in KCK, 7th Street Casino specializes in slot machines. With more than 575 in total—and no other options offered—players can get right down to business with entertaining gaming.

If you’re on a roll, don’t worry about leaving. With a café and bar onsite, your breakfast, lunch or dinner are covered no matter the time of day or day of the week.
