But the moment I stepped inside, I realized it was anything but. With more than 1,500 slot and video poker machines, plenty of table games, a live poker room, and an ESPN BET sportsbook, this property had everything I could ask for as a player.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Gaming-Floor-Hollywood-Casino-at-Kansas-Speedway.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-119091\" class=\"size-full wp-image-119091\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Gaming-Floor-Hollywood-Casino-at-Kansas-Speedway.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"486\" height=\"273\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-119091\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Gaming floor<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kansas-Speedway-NASCAR.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-119092\" class=\" wp-image-119092\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Kansas-Speedway-NASCAR.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"253\" height=\"142\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-119092\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kansas Speedway<\/p>\n<p>Opened in 2012 and operated by PENN Entertainment, Hollywood Casino sits next to the Kansas Speedway, my reason for the visit. I was lucky enough to visit during NASCAR weekend, which happens twice a year.\u00a0 This was my first time experiencing NASCAR, and all I can say is WOW! From the tailgating feel and rows of RV\u2019s to the sound of cars racing around the track, this was an experience that I will never forget.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Final-Cut-Steakhouse-Hollywood-Casino-at-Kansas-Speedway.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-119093\" class=\" wp-image-119093\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Final-Cut-Steakhouse-Hollywood-Casino-at-Kansas-Speedway.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"255\" height=\"143\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-119093\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Final Cut Steakhouse<\/p>\n<p>I started off my casino visit with some slot play and ended with dinner at Final Cut Steakhouse. I had the wedge salad for starters and followed with the shrimp and scallop pasta. It was a lot of food, but don\u2019t judge me. Slots can make a girl hungry.\u00a0 The food was delicious, and the service was exceptional.<\/p>\n<p>Since Hollywood doesn\u2019t yet have a hotel (although it\u2019s in future plans), I stayed at its sister property, Argosy Casino &amp; Hotel, which had the most comfortable sheets and pillows ever. Argosy is a quick 16-minute drive across the Missouri state line.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/King-room-Argosy-Casino-Hotel-Missouri.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-3\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-119095\" class=\"size-full wp-image-119095\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/King-room-Argosy-Casino-Hotel-Missouri.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"380\" height=\"214\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-119095\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">King room at Argosy Casino &amp; Hotel<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Flavor-of-Fall-at-Turn-2-Sports-Bar-Hollywood-Casino-at-Kansas-Speedway.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-4\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-119094\" class=\" wp-image-119094\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Flavor-of-Fall-at-Turn-2-Sports-Bar-Hollywood-Casino-at-Kansas-Speedway.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"233\" height=\"131\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p id=\"caption-attachment-119094\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Flavor of Fall at Turn 2 Sports Bar<\/p>\n<p>The next morning, I returned to Hollywood for race day and of course a bit of gambling. I was lucky enough to attend a VIP party at Turn 2 Sports Bar and Restaurant, which overlooks the Speedway. The energy of the race cars and the excitement of the attendees were electric.<\/p>\n<p>This quick weekend at Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway was one of those trips that reminded me why I love exploring casino destinations beyond Vegas. I will definitely be back, but until then \u2026 where to next?<\/p>\n<p>Kelly Koffler visited Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speeedway and Argosy Casino &amp; Hotel as a guest of PENN Entertainment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"From the road, Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway in Kansas City, KS, looks unassuming, almost like a random&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":224998,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[446],"tags":[49,48,634,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-224997","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nascar","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-nascar","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224997","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=224997"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/224997\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/224998"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=224997"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=224997"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=224997"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
