The Ameristar St. Charles Casino Resort Spa in St. Charles, Missouri, is one of 7 Ameristar casinos located throughout the country, in areas that have recently opened up to casino gambling. Missouri is certainly one of these states, and you no longer have to have them over water like you used to.
The biggest market in the state is in the St. Louis area, with almost 3 million people, so it’s no surprise that the city was a big focus for casino companies once state gambling law was relaxed. There are now 6 casinos in the area, including the impressive Ameristar St. Charles, just across the Missouri river from St. Louis proper.
Ameristar Casinos got their start back in 1954 with the opening of Cactus Pete’s in Jackpot, Nevada, which is still in operation today. In 1994 the company built another casino in Vicksburg, Mississippi, and changed the company name to Ameristar, and started branding its casinos with this name as well.
The Ameristar St. Charles was originally owned by Station Casinos who built it in 1994. Ameristar bought it along with a casino in Kansas City in 2000, and they both were brought into the Ameristar brand. At the time the Ameristar St. Charles was just a casino, until 2008 when a big expansion led to the building of its hotel as well as a pool and a spa.
In 2013, the company was bought by fellow land based casino operator Pinnacle Entertainment, who retained the name. Pinnacle also has deep roots in the gambling business, first starting as the Hollywood Park racetrack in 1938 under the ownership of movie mogul Jack Warner of Warner Bros. Studios.
Although a lot of their business at this casino is the walk up variety, catering to the huge local population, they have set themselves up as a premier destination as well, with very nice accommodations and amenities that really appeal to tourists, and they do get quite a few here as a result.
