10/10 Exceptional

Nice casin and hotel

It was a fun stay with great dinner options. They were unable to add points to my account for staying there
Sally, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

The room was nice and spacious. You could tell someone, at some time, had smoked in the room. There is only one place to get breakfast, and it’s an order from the menu restaurant. Service was good and the food came out fast. All staff we encountered was very nice and helpful. I would stay here again.

Always enjoy Ameristar. Close location to many events, great food and hot tub rooms.

Good Hotel, Sub par Casino

The rooms were comfortable and the room was very clean. The shower and water faucets if not careful can burn you quickly. The water is extremely hot and instantly gets to scolding temperatures. The casino boat was a cool experience other than getting a server for drinks while playing, and that was a huge let down as every place I have ever been serves drinks if you are playing and usually asked non stop if you want more.

great place
Emilee, 1-night trip

Beautiful place to stay. Coming from MN, we're no longer used to all the cigarette smoke inside. That'd be our only complaint.

Dinner Buffet

Dinner Buffet-5 Star, Prime rib, all you can eat crab legs, pho bar, dessert bar, vegs and starches, oven pizzas, etc. Look for elevator to rooms in center, right past restaurant. They are on the opposite side of wall. You don’t want to walk past them to casino or parking lot hallways. Must have key to access elevators. Casino was average, free drinks for people gambling. Rooms comfortable. Good beds. Lots of pillows.
Michael, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

No microwave for the room
