ST. CHARLES, Mo. (KMOX) - Ameristar Casino Resort Spa St. Charles announced Wednesday renovations and expansion plans that will see it's meeting and convention center triple in size.
As part of the expansion project, the casino will add 43,000 square feet of state-of-the-art event space and an enhanced pre-function area to Ameristar’s existing center.
Once completed, Ameristar will be home to the largest hotel convention center in St. Charles County.
In addition, work is also currently underway on a complete refresh and upgrade of the 397 hotel rooms on the property. Work on the hotel renovations is set for completion at the end of 2024.
"We have been proud to serve the St. Charles and greater St. Louis communities for 30 years now, and we want to make certain that we continue to offer our guests a best-in-class experience." said Ward Shaw, Executive Vice President of Operations for Boyd Gaming, who has owned the casino since 2018. "Through these investments, our goal is to ensure that Ameristar remains a unique and appealing destination for existing and new guests alike, and continues to draw more visitors to the St. Charles community."
The expansion is expected to be finished by the fall of 2025.
Ameristar is also finalizing plans for its next set of future amenities. These will include the replacement of Amerisports Bar & Grill with a modern gastropub and sports bar experience in mid-2025, and a complete rebrand and refresh of Ameristar’s existing steakhouse concept late next year.
