Get a phone book when you get to town. There really is a lot to do, but not much in Shawnee itself.
If you are going to be staying around the ball fields, jump on I 435 north towards Kansas City Kansas and go to the area at I 435 and I 70 ( there is road construction, though there is road construction everywhere these days). Lots to do and a very busy place. Cabela's, Nebraska Furniture Mart (for a point of reference), many new restaurants and businesses. The home of the Kansas Speedway.
No casinos on the Kansas side of the state line, but along the Missouri River there are several; Harrah's, Argosy, Isle of Capri, Ameristar.
World's of Fun/Oceans of Fun is on the Missouri side, too, and a bit of a drive, but fun.
Visit the Country Club Plaza for some of the best shopping/ dining--East on Shawnee Mission Parkway across the state line and stay to the left when you merge with Ward Parkway.
Hope you enjoy your visit.

Kansas City, has many different opportunities, it really depends on your flavor for fun. Worlds of Fun has a water park and it's full of excitement. It's also close to Harrah's and the Ameristar Casinos. They both are located on I-29 off of Front Street. Nearby is the Argosy Casino. Take I- 6-35 and head into Kansas. Where you can find many outlet shops and good food at the Legends. Located off of State Ave. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time. Also check out the Jazz, barbque and fun in Westport, right off Broadway and Main in Missouri. Have Fun !
