KANSAS CITY MISSOURI
Looking for a comfortable getaway that invites you to a new world of exploration and hospitality? Try a Midwestern vacation that offers finger-licking, and lip-smacking barbecue, all while listening to authentic jazz next to an expansive river. Barbecue and jazz are just a couple of the amenities Kansas City, Missouri (population: 475,000) has to offer. Join the 360 Magazine Team as they learn the history of this metro city and visit the top picks for lodging, exploration and most certainly, indulging.
Whether you are ready to take a risk or simply relax, the Ameristar Casino Hotel, housing 184 rooms, is an excellent choice. On the first day in Kansas City, 360 stayed at the hotel, which overlooks the mighty Missouri River, tying together an elegant vibe with a western saloon twist.
Built in 1997 and only ten miles away from downtown Kansas City and Arrowhead Stadium, the 183-acre Ameristar includes complimentary valet parking, as well as an on-site brewery, amazing eateries with the finest chefs, and a spectacular casino floor. Got that gambling itch? Be a winner at one of the largest casinos in the nation, as the 3-diamond Casino has over 2,200 slot and video poker machines, 66 table games, and 15 poker tables operating 24 hours a day.
That evening, the team got a taste of Kansas City at Rosso, an upscale restaurant inside the Hotel Sorella Country Club Plaza 。 The hotel gives a modern feel fixed with Mediterranean accents and unique accommodations. If you’re appreciative of fine art, look no further than Sorella, which incorporates timeless pieces of Renaissance-inspired art that will leave you speechless.
Hotel Sorella has 132 guest rooms. Visitors benefit from a complementary European breakfast at Francesca’s Greenhouse lounge, with access to Mediterranean dining on the rooftop, a rooftop swimming pool, fitness center and more.
The hotel has phenomenal reviews, and previously received the Trip Advisor certificate of excellence, the 2016 Diner’s Choice Award from Opentable.com, the 10 Best Hotels in Kansas City by USA Today, and multiple celebrity guest stays. Along with fine dining choices, Kansas City has a near-limitless variety of barbecue joints, offering platter upon platter of savory smoked meat to satisfy your taste buds. Arthur Bryant’s dates back to the early 1900s and is said to be some of the best barbecue ones could eat. The restaurant takes you back to the father of Kansas City barbecue, Henry Patrick. He shared his love of meats with the Garment District in downtown Kansas City at an alley stand. Arthur Bryant would eventually take over the business. With celebrities such as Steven Spielberg, Jimmy Carter and President Barack Obama dining at Arthur Bryant’s, the joint has received sensational reviews and built a solid rapport with loyal customers.
For the ultimate foodie/barbecue lover, try a Kansas City Barbecue Bus Tour, where you can stop at Arthur Bryant’s and other local restaurants like LC’s Barbeque, Gates Barbeque, and Jack Stack Barbecue. On the second day, we spent the afternoon riding from restaurant to restaurant, by bus, to enjoy some of the finest “Q” in Kansas City.
President of 360 Magazine, Vaughn Lowery, has traveled around the world trying the most scrumptious foods and had a few words to share in-between bites. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and knowing a thing or two about barbecue, the fellow Midwesterner offers high praise.
“Kansas City is a meat lover’s paradise,” Lowery said, “and the burnt ends at LC’S BBQ are to die for!” The crisp, charred brisket is slowly cooked and re-seasoned multiple times, giving it that perfect coating of bark before hitting the tender meat. This Kansas City delicacy is a must-try. Your taste buds better hold on tight for the flavorsome twists and turns of the best meats and sides from just any one of the hundred barbecue spots in Kansas City. Aside from barbecue, additional gourmet dining options are found in downtown and smaller suburbs. In Independence, for example, Ophelia’s Restaurant and Inn serves a delectable Greek Orzo and Lemon Shrimp Salad. Now that’s healthy, done right.
Union Station is Kansas City’s own Grand Central Station, perhaps best known for the iconic Pierpont Restaurant. The restaurant was named for railroad baron J.P. (Pierpont) Morgan. Its menu features fine steaks and seafood.
Hallmark Cards headquarters is located in downtown Kansas City, in the Crown Center area. Surrounded by Hallmark is The Lego Discovery Center, which the 360 Team, of course, stumbled upon. Every structure at this grand facility is creatively crafted using Legos. It made total sense once we realized that classes are taught by modern builders. Discover the engineer in you. It’s all fun and games until you come across children who build better automobiles than you. Speaking of the kids, if they’re traveling with you, don’t miss the Sea Life Kansas City Aquarium which is located next to Union Station.
Fan of America’s favorite pastime? Kansas City has a rich baseball history. Fans can catch the 2015 World Series Champion Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium. Those who enjoy baseball history won’t want to miss the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum, where the stories of great players and entrepreneurs, such as Chicago American Giants owner and Negro National League co-founder Andrew “Rube” Foster unfold.
Seeing the city while enjoying a carriage ride provides relaxation and exploration.
Work your way around town as you come across the Nelson-Atkins Museum, the National World War I Museum and Memorial, and Weston Brewing Company. Grab the flagship beer, O’Malley’s Irish Cream Ale, as a refreshing treat after your day of exploration, chowing down exquisite cuisine and witnessing decades of art-infused culture as you travel through time.
You’ll leave Kansas City rejuvenated by its incredible residents and historic charm. Refresh yourself when you #VisitMO.

The Best Countries Around the World for Casino Tourism
Since the Internet was created, the gambling sector is growing rapidly, and including gambling tourism. Even if the online casinos are growing, there is no sign of the land-based industry booming. Several thousand travelers are going to land casino locations, with some destinations such as Macau and Vegas, actually known as casino destinations. Why is it important for casinos to have an online presence? To accommodate the individuals who can’t visit physically at that given moment, and if that is you, try visiting Trustly Casinos that have Pay n Play.
1 – Monaco
Monaco has just 202 ha of land, and there is plenty to do in this extremely rich country in the world. Although Monaco has only four casinos, there are several world-renowned Casinos to visit here. The four casinos in Monaco are about half as big as those in Las Vegas. Monaco is a popular gambling town with many international casinos – the casinos of which Monaco is located – as the citizens of the country are prohibited from using the casino. It has an abundance of yachts in its famous harbor.
2 – Bahamas
The Bahamas is a small island nation located on the Atlantic Ocean with a total of 700 island chains located north of Florida (US). The Bahamas is one of the Caribbeans most popular attractions, and ‘Bahamas’ has Spanish origin and means shallow ocean. It is also named for the biggest gambling place on the island, Baha Mar. Nassau is a city in New Providence and home to around 280 thousand people. Nassau is a charming city based on a lush green valley and offers stunning sea views.
3 – Singapore
Monaco has 202 square kilometers, but plenty will still be done in the richest nation in the world. Although Monaco contains only 4 casinos, the majority of these have legendary casinos. The four Monaco casinos cover over 50% of the size of the casinos in Las Vegas. Monaco residents are banned from playing casino games by law (local citizens do not have the right to play). However, the casinos that are found here are a magnet for international gambling enthusiasts.
Gambling facilities in the United Kingdom
When all the places to bet were listed as gambling venues, then the UK would be at the top of the list. Among British people, they enjoy gambling. The British gaming industry is home to more than 2 million people. Approximately 70% of the population aged 18 and older play lottery games daily. We shouldn’t ignore Mayfair Casino. Ritz Club 150 Piccadilly provides luxurious private memberships decorated with gold and blue hues. Le Club Les Ambassadors is an additional luxury casino in London with a share of popularity. It includes James Bond films and The Beatles Hard Night video.
Casinos in other countries and regions
West European countries are the second most casino-populated in the world. Besides French and English casinos, dozens more are based in European countries, including Spain. And finally, Monaco has four of the best casino brands at Monte Carlo. While Nordic countries do not have many casinos, many people in the region enjoy betting both online and offline. Stockholm and Copenhagen also host casinos. In Switzerland, the casino is spread from Zürich to Geneva.
8 Best Gambling Destinations in The World – 10 Most Today
Most people prefer to play casino games during a vacation or business trip. Many countries worldwide permit gambling, and many even have their own casinos. Here you find the top destinations in the world that provide the best casino experiences. I can’t promise you’ll win, but you will definitely enjoy yourself.
Casino Baden-Baden, Germany
The stylish Bad-Baden spa town, situated at the heart of German black forests, was originally an entertainment area for wealthy Germans 150 years ago, drawing royals and aristocrats. Increasingly, visitors visit the city, and many come to experience the thrills of a local casino with the highest-level luxury. Inspired by baroque splendors at the Palace of Versailles, Marlene Dietrich named it one of the world’s best casino destinations for actresses. The elegance persists throughout the Red-Gold Poker room and the extensive Black & Gold table set in the casino.
