Ak-Sar-Ben was a great surprise to us, and we had a great day winning about $250-300 each. We went to Johnny's by the Yards for steaks afterwards too. Was a day I won't forget... Just great.

Now my mouth is watering...............Johnny's at the stockyards was a superb classic steakhouse. Two more of the most famous were Ross' and Anthony's both on the same street as Ak-Sar-Ben. Mound City (Home of the Honkers) was a standard stop on my visits to KC or coming back from there.
