If you go for a weekend plan on driving a short distance to the Omaha Zoo. It was the weekend of the Belmont stakes, there was plenty of exciting racing to watch and wager on. We also went to the Horseshoe casino (a partner of Harrahs) to wager on horse and dog races. They've got some good shows at fair prices. You can bring a blanket or lawn chair and sit on the grassy hill in front if the stage.There are no bad seats! Check out their concert schedule for the summer at Harrahs/stir cove concert series. Harrahs has an outdoor amphitheater for concerts that seats about 3000. If you know this band from the 90's you know how good they are. The Saturday evening we were there they had a concert performed by Collective Souls. It's only a three hour drive from Kansas City. Went to Harrahs in Council Bluffs Iowa for a weekend getaway.
