Mall-size property, it does not have a spa, pool or fitness center, which are glaring omissions for this type of destination property. Housekeeping isn't always the most reliable - or easy to get in touch with - and the same can be said about maintenance issues in rooms. King Suite bathrooms feature walk-in showers, standalone whirlpool tubs, and double vanities. Bathrooms are clean, and come with bathrobesĪnd shower/tub combos.

All units have 46-inch flat-screen TVs, coffeemakers, safes, air-conditioning, and plush beds. Furniture in higher category rooms is in better shape and is more attractive. All rooms are spacious, with Deluxe Rooms starting at 377 square feet (35 square meters), and decor across all categories includes tan patterned carpets, tan drapes, off-white walls hung with bland art, and crown molding. Dark wood furniture in Deluxe Rooms shows some wear from the years, and padded yellow headboards aren't the most stylish choice we've seen. Decor throughout is on the bland side, and the look resembles a corporate chain hotel that's a bit dated. There are three room configurations available at the Ameristar: Deluxe Rooms, Mini Suites, and King Suites (which have separate living rooms with wet bars). The hotel hosts a fair share of families, business groups, and social reunions, as the property has ample meeting and event space. Out - the constant slot sounds can be heard while roaming from restaurant to bar. While smoking is not permitted inside the hotel, parts of it reek of smoke. In addition to gamblers, The casino itself is huge and glows with bright lights both inside and Dining options range from a casual food court to a proper brewery to the casual buffet-style restaurant, Horizons, which has a vague Cheesecake Factory style. With a false sky painted overhead to simulate the effect of being outside, there are shops and restaurants and arcades and movie theaters - and, of course, the casino - throughout the massive complex. The massive lobby is dimly lit, and has black carpet with a wild pattern scrawled across it - the area is constantly busy with the comings and goings of guests and gamblers. Decor throughout is equally theme-park in quality - on the surface it's all attractive and nice, but ultimately the fantasy factor and faux finishes are all underwhelming. It's a fitting welcome for what is, in many ways, an experience akin to visiting a massive shopping mall and amusement park swirled into one. The Ameristar is surrounded by a wide expanse of outdoor parking that's large enough toĪccommodate a small airport.
