7th Street Casino

By the Numbers:

• 20,000 square feet

• 600 slot machines
• Two restaurants

While far from being the largest casino in KC, this Kansas-side gem is unique in a number of other ways. 7th Street Casino is operated by the Wyandotte Nation—a tribe that once made its home in Wyandotte County, Kansas. Located in the heart of KCK, it occupies a former Shrine building which also happens to be across the street from the historic Huron Cemetery, a Native American burial ground. By virtue of the building’s historic nature, the atmosphere has a way of harkening back to Kansas City’s rowdy early 20th-century reputation.
