We tried Ameristar after a couple bad experiences at Monarch, with our first time at Monarch being…read moregreat but going downhill fast. We had an absolutely AMAZING time at Ameristar! To start, we got a spa suite for 2 nights and it was equivalent of a very high end apartment. Other "spa suites" I've stayed at in Black Hawk were nice, but they were just basic rooms with a hot tub in them. This felt like a home away from home. The staff were incredibly courteous and helpful. The bartenders and dealers were also attentive and fun to talk to. I regret not trying any of the dining options, as we had plans for dinner already, but we plan to try some again our next stay (I've heard great things about Jinya) We also really enjoyed the rooftop hot tub and pool. The temperature was perfect and I swam several laps during my stay. There are so many amenities. I Will be back here soon!

If I could give zero stars I would. NEVER come to this…read morecasino. Julia and Paul the "security guards" kicked me and my best friend out for celebrating at a BJ table telling us we were "too intoxicated" and had "blood shot eyes" even though I had two drinks for free at the table and asked for bottles of water with both drinks. Julian and Paul were being so disrespectful for no reason. We also were losing money and got excited when we finally won just a tiny bit. This casino is a SCAM. Highly recommend to never come here. Horrible workers. Horrible security guards. Horrible service - 0/10 experience. Ive never been treated this horribly. Will NEVER be back. I've been to black hawk many times, i'm a colorado native and know many people that come here often. They lost a ton of business for that for absolutely no reason for this. They should 100% fire Julian and Paul the "security guards". Would not trust them securing any vacinity. Very embarrassing for them. I'm disgusted by this business. I would probably go to Monarch if you HAVE to go to Black hawk. Ameristar is the worst casino i've ever been to. I would most definitely drug test Julian and Paul. They did not seem capable to secure this casino and made us feel very unsafe. HUGE disappointment.

We are a mixed race married couple and had ZERO issues. It's hard to believe peoples posts about this place and how they were treated poorly as mixed race couple. So not true! We will be back!

We are both short ('5, "4) and we're both able to soak at the same time. Our room was spacious and the king bed was so comfortable - it was awesome! Staff were so nice and kind throughout our stay. Pros: Free Parking for all (not just those who stay here), luxury on a budget, free soft drinks and coffee/tea on the casino floor, kiosk check-in available Cons: Food options weren't my scene. The choices were a buffet, 24/7 diner, steakhouse, or a taco bistro. We opted to eat at Jinya Ramen at Ameristar. Also, I was unimpressed by the sparse new player rewards.

I no longer wonder. The staff is absolutely deplorable. They seemed to have some bias against my boyfriend who is a white male and I - a black woman. We checked out the lower level and then hopped on a couple machines on the upper before deciding to leave. There was hardly anyone there but we did notice a security guy sort of lurking. He hopped on his radio and before we knew it we were ambushed by a floor manager and security telling us to leave due to being "intoxicated " and that it's against the law to gamble while intoxicated. I was shocked to say the least. I had 4 inch platform heels on and we were quietly enjoying ourselves not bothering a soul. It's insane how rude they were with telling us to finish our drink and leave. Absolutely disgusting racist behavior. I will never ever recommend this casino. EVER. Stay away.

Don't you people know how to clean your building and restrooms... obviously NOT! GROSS!!! I walked around the floor at this casino and their other two properties; Golden Gulch... TOTAL GROSS OUT OVER THERE and if you're not a local that demands the spots in front of there favorite slot machines, you can't play! Perfect example of a place that has well worn out their welcome... SHOULD BE TORN DOWN and better off as a parking lot! Golden Gates = The Poker casino... YUCK!!!

We didn't have an ice bucket in our room and had to call down for one. The shower does not get that hot, which is frustrating. At check-in the lady didn't know how to work the key card machine. She only gave us one key card and it expired the next morning even though we were scheduled to be there for 3 days. There was a huge line, so we tried using the kiosk and it would not register either of our id's. So we got back in line and waited 20mis to get new keys (she was understandably checking in new guests, it just sucked to wait when we had somewhere to be and this could have been avoided in the first place). We ordered food from the room and payed for it with our card, but they also charged it to our room upon check out. The person at the front desk didn't know how to erase the charge, but called their manager who over the phone said they would take care of it. There are a few unsavory individuals that run around the motel. A girl and her guy friend that were literally rolling off of nitrous that she was actually carrying around in her arms going floor to floor during check out time. So...that was interesting. There's not a store or anything nearby, so if you needed something extra, other hotels in the area will actually have something. Also, there are some weird smells coming from the hallway near the elevator on the check-in floor.
