When it comes to the attached casino, some travelers said it wasn't as much of a bother compared to other casino hotels they've stayed at, while others said their stay could have done without the constant smell of cigarette smoke. If you're not up for dining in, downtown Kansas City (and its delectable barbecue) is about 10 miles south. Visitors have their pick from Journey wood-fired steakhouse, a deli, a Mediterranean-themed buffet, a craft beer house, a taco eatery and a coffee shop. Dining was also a mixed bag among guests, but options are nonetheless abundant.
Outside your digs, you'll find a spa and a 24-hour gym. Accommodations, which come equipped with 42-inch flat-screen TVs, rainfall showerheads and pillow-top beds, were described as comfortable by some, while others said the rooms could benefit from a renovation. Some lodgers lamented the fact that there is no pool on-site, especially since the Kansas City, Missouri, area can reach sweltering temperatures during the summer. Pair them with homemade soups and salads for a filling meal. Menu items include New York-style sandwiches like corned beef on rye and hot pastrami. Leo's Deli offers artfully handmade sandwiches from around the world. While some past lodgers reported impeccable rooms, excellent service and top-notch amenities, others were less impressed. Specialties: Leo's Deli is the perfect spot to curb an instant craving while on the casino floor. The Argosy Casino Hotel & Spa received mixed reviews among recent travelers.
