Plan Your Visit to Star Pavilion at Ameristar
How do I get to the Star Pavilion?
The Star Pavilion is located inside Ameristar Casino Hotel Kansas City at 3200 North Ameristar Drive. On-site parking is available for visitors attending shows, though specific fees and lot access points should be confirmed with the property before your visit. Because the venue sits within a casino hotel complex, allow extra time to navigate the property floor and reach the Pavilion entrance from your parking spot.
What is the seating like at the Pavilion?
The Pavilion accommodates over 1,300 guests, with seating and layout configured by event. Check whether the booking uses an assigned seat or another admission arrangement. Your ticket will specify whether you have a reserved seat number or a ticket level; always refer to the event's official seating map before purchase to understand sightlines and section placement.
Does my show ticket include access to the casino and hotel?
Star Pavilion tickets grant admission to the performance only. The casino floor, hotel rooms, and private ballrooms operate independently; a concert ticket does not include gaming chips, complimentary hotel stays, or guaranteed access to restricted areas. Missouri casino wagering age is twenty-one, but individual shows may set different admission ages—always verify the event's age policy when booking if you plan to bring younger guests.
Where can I eat before or after the show?
The Ameristar property offers several dining spots, including KC Chop House, Amerisports Brew Pub, Willy & Jose's Cantina, Big Tony's Pizza, An Pho, Burger Joint and Cafe Primo. Hours, availability and menus change independently of show schedules, so advance reservations are recommended if you plan a sit-down meal before curtain. Because each restaurant books separately, a Pavilion ticket does not guarantee a table or priority seating in any dining outlet.
What should I know about entry and bags?
Before arrival, check your performance’s door time and entry instructions. If you plan to carry a bag, camera or medical equipment, call 816-414-7000 with the show name to confirm the applicable rules. Keep the performance ticket available separately from any hotel or dining confirmation.
How do I arrange accessible seating?
Call 816-414-7000 before booking if you need an accessible seat, companion seating or a specific route from parking. Ask about the Star Pavilion performance room rather than relying on the accessibility arrangements of a hotel room or private ballroom.
Star Pavilion at Ameristar FAQs
Does a Pavilion ticket let me play casino games?
No. Your ticket admits you to the performance only; gaming on the casino floor requires separate participation and guests must be twenty-one to wager.
How many people does the Star Pavilion hold?
Seating exceeds 1,300, with the exact count and configuration varying by event. Check the seating chart for your specific show to see available sections.
Are all shows open to guests under twenty-one?
Age policies differ by event. While the casino wagering floor requires guests to be twenty-one, individual concerts or comedy shows may permit younger attendees—always verify the event listing before purchasing tickets.
Can I make a dinner reservation at one of the restaurants?
Yes, but restaurant bookings are separate from your show ticket and menus or hours may change. Reserve ahead by contacting the property to secure a table before or after the performance.
Where do I park for a Pavilion show?
On-site parking is available at the Ameristar complex. Contact the venue for current rates and the recommended lot entrance, and allow extra walking time through the property to reach the Pavilion doors.
