Ameristar Casino Resort Spa Kansas City is the largest gaming floor on the Missouri side of the Kansas City metro — a Boyd Gaming property in North Kansas City with approximately 140,000 square feet of casino, an attached full-service hotel, the STAR Pavilion entertainment venue, a spa, and multiple restaurants all physically connected. For weekend visitors who want a full-scale resort experience without leaving the property, Ameristar is the KC metro’s strongest destination. A mobility scooter rental turns the scale from fatiguing to manageable.
How We Serve Ameristar Visitors
The Ameristar Casino Hotel Kansas City has a long-standing bell-stand delivery relationship with us. Your scooter arrives before your check-in, gets tagged with your name, and is staged with the bell staff. At check-in, the bell captain hands you the scooter along with any luggage. You never stop at the front desk for a rental-paperwork exchange.
From the moment you’re on the scooter, the property is entirely indoor-connected: hotel lobby to casino to STAR Pavilion to spa to restaurants, all step-free with ramped transitions where needed. For guests staying multiple days, this continuous accessibility is significant — an outdoor-heavy property would force repeated exits in all weather.
About Ameristar Casino Resort Spa
The property opened in 1994 and has been progressively expanded over three decades. Today it includes:

- Hotel: 184 rooms and suites, all with accessibility options on every floor
- STAR Pavilion: entertainment venue hosting national-touring concerts, comedy, and special events; accessible seating throughout
- ARA Spa: full-service spa with treatment rooms, wet-area amenities, fitness facility, and salon
- Dining: Pearl’s Oyster Bar, Amerisports Bar & Grill, Bugatti’s Steak & Pasta, Depot Buffet, Home Slice Pizza, and quick-service options

As a Boyd Gaming property, Ameristar shares operational patterns with Argosy — both properties emphasize accessibility and attentive guest-services workflows.
Accessibility at Ameristar
Indoor-connected everything. The signature accessibility feature at Ameristar is the fully indoor-connected property. Hotel tower to casino to Pavilion to spa — all step-free, all ramped where grade changes occur, all elevator-accessible to hotel floors. For multi-day scooter users this is transformative.
Gaming floor. At 140,000+ square feet, the floor is among the largest in the Midwest. Aisle widths exceed ADA minimums. Table games have accessible seating positions clearly marked. The poker room has accessible table heights.
Hotel rooms. Accessible rooms are available on every floor with roll-in showers, accessible vanities, and room dimensions that accommodate a full-size scooter beside the bed. Reserve accessible rooms at booking (call the hotel directly or specify the accommodation at online booking).
STAR Pavilion. The entertainment venue includes accessible seating sections and companion seating. Companion-and-accessible ticket pairs should be requested at ticket purchase.
ARA Spa. Treatment rooms, wet areas, and locker facilities include accessible configurations. Coordinate specific accommodations with spa booking in advance.
Restaurants. All six dining venues have accessible seating. Bugatti’s Steak & Pasta and Pearl’s Oyster Bar are the larger full-service restaurants and have the most flexible seating plans.
Parking. Valet and self-park both have accessible options. For hotel guests, valet is the simplest; for day-trip visitors, self-park’s accessible rows near the main casino entrance work fine.
Pairing with the KC Metro
Ameristar works as a base or as a destination:
- As a base: multi-day KC trips can anchor at Ameristar with easy rideshare to downtown, the Plaza, Crown Center, or the Truman Sports Complex for Chiefs/Royals games
- As a destination: a 2-3 day Ameristar-focused stay for gaming, spa, and entertainment without leaving the property
- With the airport: MCI-to-Ameristar is a 15-minute rideshare; many visitors fly in and out without needing a rental car at all
For visitors combining a Chiefs or Royals game weekend with a casino stay, Ameristar is the closest major gaming resort to the Truman Sports Complex (roughly 25 minutes south).
