Reviews for The Star Event Centre

There’s nothing Merry about The Star if you’re from another state in Australia. This new mandatory players card system is an absolute joke. Firstly if you come from another state it will not accept your drivers license automatically so you get put on a wait list to be served manually. We waited over an hour to be called so that we could sign up for it by Guest Relations and even then they were not ready to help us. I’ve never walked out of a casino before without actually giving them some money from gambling, but this was absolutely warranted and I’m glad we did. The extra star goes to the lady who made our cocktails in the Cherry Bar while we waited, they were fantastic and she did a great job considering she was the only one behind the bar serving.

My recent visit to The Star Casino & Hotel was an absolute delight. From the moment I stepped in, the atmosphere was simply fantastic. There's a palpable sense of excitement and energy that permeates the entire venue, making it an ideal destination for a night out, especially on the weekends. The service was impeccable. The staff were attentive and friendly, always on hand to assist without being intrusive. While the casino's primary goal is, of course, to generate revenue, it's done in a way that doesn't detract from the overall enjoyment. It's a place where you feel like you're part of a grand spectacle, a feeling of entertainment that's always going around. Beyond the gaming floor, the hotel offers stunning views and a central location in the city, which makes it incredibly convenient. The combination of a vibrant casino, top-notch service, and a prime location makes The Star a truly memorable experience. Whether you're there to try your luck at the tables or simply soak in the lively atmosphere, The Star Casino & Hotel delivers a great time. I'd highly recommend it for anyone looking for a night of entertainment and fun.

Booked a family christmas lunch at the buffet restaurant. Turned up a bit early so thought we would have a look through the casino. My nephew was immediately harrased by the security guard about his identification my nephew produced. My nephew produced valid identification showing he is 25 years old. Born in 2000. This security guard (newzeland accent) said he didnt look 25, he looked 17. My nephew showed id again proving he is 25 and the security guard got smart mouthed and disrespectful with him telling him he looked too young despite having valid identification. Then the security guard told my nephew he didnt like his "unchristmas" like answers to his questions. Then refused him entry. What a discrace, we have come out to enjoy a family christmas lunch and my nephew gets treated like this. I know this review won't change anything but people becareful if you look young and well dressed. Star City you should be ashamed of how you have treated a good, upstanding young man. Very un Australian and to the security guard in question you know who you are, you should be ashamed of yourself. Hope you feel good about what you did. You just harrased an innocent young man. Way to encourage return patronage. Looks like it Barangaroo next year.

I am a Hospitality teacher from Bathurst NSW. We recently took our Year 10 students to the STAR for a back-of-house tour and delicious lunch at the Harvest Buffet. Nick Brown, and the chefs who showed us through were amazing. They couldn't have been more informative and welcoming. The students got so much out of this experience. It isn't often that staff of busy Hospitality establishments offer their valuable time to do something like this. Thank you so much..the students have been singing your praises and telling everyone how great the STAR is. What a fantastic day.

Came here to see a show at the theatre and decided to have lunch at the food quarter beforehand. I can only describe the casino floor as a bit sad. It's dreary and the decor is dated. We saw there was a member discount on food so we tried to sign up for membership. There was a touch screen at the front of the food area so I entered my details. It then advised me to go to the service area to show my license as proof of ID. We had to ask a kind staff member for directions, as it was a short walk away from the food area and the screen didn't tell us where that was. There were airport style self serve machines which tried to photograph my license and then my face. Unfortunately it didn't work after 4 attempts so I had to join a queue for the service desk. I guess it didn't work for anyone else because the line was long and no one else were able to use the 20 self service machines. After waiting in the queue for 15 minutes with barely any movement, gave up and went back to the food area. In terms of food, the Asian options were preferable over the western food. I like the option for QR code ordering at the table. Had noodle soup and wontons which were nice.
