Since opening, Ameristar has always
strived to provide the best, most fun, and engaging environment for its guests and team members by investing hundreds of millions of dollars in capital expenditures on building improvements, furniture, fixtures, equipment, and technology. In 2023, Ameristar updated the entire gaming floor by adding the newest gaming products, new carpet, the Red Lotus Asian-style cuisine

entertainment property we are without the collective efforts that have propelled us forward. Our team’s resilience and collaborative spirit have been the driving force behind our success and community partnerships.
