Kansas City MO is much bigger and more interesting. Kansas City KS is smaller, depressed, and a place to avoid. The NASCAR track is on the Kansas side, but it's far west of KCK.
If you're talking about metro population (population of the city and its suburbs), then KC MO is still the bigger of the two.

Kansas City, MO ("KCMO") is bigger and has most of the "urban" parts of the Kansas City area. Downtown Kansas City, MO is where the "skyscrapers" (not really, but you know what I mean) and skyline is, as well as the River Market, Power and Light District, Crown Center, Union Station, Liberty Memorial, Westport, the Nelson-Atkins art museum, the Country Club Plaza, UMKC, the zoo, Loose Park, and many other of the "urban" attractions are.
Kansas City, KS ("KCK") is smaller and has the suburban entertainment district, called Village West, which is sort of like Kansas City's version of The Mall of America, only the shopping center there isn't an indoor mall and there's a lot more there than the mall. The shopping center in the center of Village West is called The Legends and has some unique stores, restaurants, and entertainment venues, such as a Saks Fifth Avenue outlet store called "Off 5th", Dave and Buster's, T-Rex, Arthur Bryant's, and a lot more. Then surrounding The Legends shopping center in Village West is the Kansas Speedway (Nascar), Sporting Kansas City (major league soccer stadium and team), the Kansas City T-Bones (minor league baseball stadium and team), Sandstone Amphitheater (a major outdoor concert venue), Schlitterbahn (a waterpark with the world's tallest water slide), Great Wolf Lodge (a lodge and indoor/outdoor water park for kids), Hollywood Casino (the only in Kansas City that isn't in an industrial area down by the river), and stores like Nebraska Furniture Mart (a unique and HUGE store with furniture, appliances, and the best and largest electronics selection in the Kansas City area) and Cabela's.
Kansas City, MO has most of the good urban "city" areas, all of which is within 1.8 miles of the Kansas state line. Much of it is extremely depressed and/or downright ghetto, with the area east of Troost being the worst area and where you generally don't want to ever go, with the exceptions being the zoo, Arthur Bryant's BBQ's original location (only go there at lunch time on a weekday), and perhaps the 18th and Vine Historic District if you have something specific in mind. Troost is 1.8 miles east of the State Line Road and you just don't really want to cross Troost unless you know where you're going and what you're getting into. The good urban areas of Kansas City, MO are all in a long skinny (1.8 mile wide) corridor from the Missouri River (River Market area) south several miles through the downtown, Crown Center, Westport, Plaza, Brookside, and Waldo areas. The best neighborhoods of Kansas City, MO, the Country Club Plaza and Brookside, spill over the state line into suburban Johnson County, KS (Westwood, Fairway, Prairie Village, etc.) and into the Rosedale/University of Kansas Hospital area of Kansas City, KS (which is the best urban neighborhoods in Kansas City, KS) in such a way that you can't even tell you've crossed the line. Signs are mostly non existent on side streets, and State Line Rd is just a side street with houses on both sides.
An effort to renew the much smaller downtown Kansas City, KS and its urban core has mostly been grass roots and in the form of new houses, townhouse condominiums, and apartments, as well as a riverfront park called Kaw Point, but more recently an effort from the business community has come forth and entails the renovation of several buildings along downtown KCK's main drag. There's also a project in the works to bring a corporate employer with over 1000 employees to downtown KCK, something its downtown area has never had, and what might just be the key to really jumpstarting development there. The Village West area that I described in an above paragraph is about 14 miles west of downtown KCK and 15 miles west of downtown Kansas City, MO. If you didn't know, downtown Kansas City, MO and downtown Kansas City, KS are about a mile from one another, separated by the West Bottoms industrial area and the Kansas River. The city halls are about 2 miles apart.
