History
In 1996, the casino opened as the Hilton Flamingo. The casino is located near, but not on, the Missouri River. Instead, a 5-acre lake was constructed and the facility was built to float on that at a cost of $110 million.[1] In June 2000, Isle of Capri Casinos bought the Hilton Flamingo and changed the name shortly thereafter to Isle of Capri Kansas City.[2] Later, in 2017, Eldorado Resorts bought Isle of Capri Casinos, including the Kansas City location.[3]
In July 2020, Twin River Worldwide Holdings (later Ballly's Corporation) bought the property along with Lady Luck Casino Vicksburg from Eldorado for a total of $230 million, and renamed the property as Casino KC.[4]

Casino KC has over 900 slot machines and table games in its 45,300 square feet of gaming space. There are two restaurants, The Lone Wolf and Tradewinds Marketplace. Unlike competitors in the Kansas City market, Casino KC does not have a hotel on-site.
