Hollywood Casino sits at Maryland Heights on the western edge of the St. Louis metro, and it is the most complete resort property in the market. It rates 3.9 from more than 9,500 Google reviewers.
The hotel is what sets it apart locally: 455 rooms and 47 suites, less than eight miles from Lambert International with a free airport shuttle. Among St. Louis casinos, this is the one built to be stayed in rather than visited.
What's on the floor
More than 2,000 slot machines and over 60 table games.
Two areas are worth singling out. The poker room runs 20 tables with cash games and tournaments daily — the main room on the Missouri side of the metro. And there is a dedicated Asian gaming room, which is unusual for a Midwest property and worth knowing about if baccarat and pai gow are what you are after.
The floor itself is one of the larger ones in Missouri, and the mix leans further towards tables than most riverboat-descended properties in the state — a legacy of the property being purpose-built rather than converted.
Hotel, dining and entertainment
Seven restaurants. Final Cut Steakhouse is the top of the range; Charlie Gitto's brings a genuine St. Louis Italian name onto the property; 99 Hops House covers beer; Celebrity Grill handles American standards, and Hollywood & Grind does coffee.
Boogie Nights is the nightclub, a few steps from the floor. The Hollywood Casino Amphitheater sits nearby and runs a full summer concert season, which makes the hotel a practical pre- or post-show base.
Tips before you go
You must be 21 to gamble, the minimum age at every Missouri casino.
The casino runs 24 hours, with one exception worth planning around: it closes from 5am to 7am on Wednesdays for maintenance. If you are in the middle of a Tuesday night session, that two-hour window will end it.
Maryland Heights puts the property on the western edge of the metro rather than in the city, so it is an easy drive from the western suburbs and a longer one from downtown or the Illinois side.
The airport shuttle is genuinely useful. If you are flying into St. Louis and want a casino stay without a rental car, this is the only property in the metro that makes that easy.
Nearby alternatives
In the city, Horseshoe St. Louis is the downtown floor. North-west, Ameristar Casino Resort Spa St. Charles is the largest property in the metro and the main competitor for a resort stay. South, River City Casino serves south St. Louis County.
