A local healthcare company planned an employee appreciation day at Ameristar Casino Resort Spa St. Charles, located at 1 Ameristar Blvd, St. Charles, MO 63301. To keep their 100 employees organized and on time, the company prefers to rent a few shuttle buses to transport them to their upcoming corporate event at the Downtown Conference Center in Manhattan.
