The horse races are fun to watch even if you don't bet. You can be inside or outside and they also have a good, high-scale buffet . There are $1 bets if you want to join in the fun!

Jason Mrachina

This is a really fun group outing , and something that we look forward to every summer. Don't underestimate the hotel either. Rooms are beautiful and very clean .

Karen Hautaniemi

Just stopped by to quickly check out the casino . Large no smoking slot area. Free help yourself soda bar . Didn't play too long but lots of machines. No big wins on our short visit.

Mike Kalen

Nice casino . They have everything you would want - several black jack tables and a nice poker room. Several restaurants . No free drinks at tables :(

Sarah Davelaar

The live horse races can be fun to watch. Bring a book or deck of cards to pass the time in between races (about 15-20 minutes wait time).

Service in the Clubhouse is the worst! Order a drink& you get it 45mn later. If you want anoother, best to go down to the Finish Line bar . They know how to pour, are nice, & fast!

Hilary Henak

Hear the hooves pounding and feel your heart race while watching thoroughbred and quarter horses cross the finish line . Enjoy the indoor/outdoor atmosphere while enjoying some delicious food.

Jesseka Kelly

The Buffet is great. Everything is fresh and there's an assortment of desserts . Be prepared to grub.

John Sullivan

The dinner easter buffet at Tripple crown cafe is really good and so is their breakfast brunch .

Racing! Join us for live horse racing Friday/Saturday evenings ... and Monday/Tuesday afternoons! I'll be at the paddock before every race!

Larry Michehl

Casino area is undergoing a remodel. It's giving the place a needed update!

Aaron Illingworth

If you are playing the slots , look for the Jade Elephant. By far the most entertaining game!

Claudia Gathercole

Good Buffet and cheaper for us old folks...lol...on Tuesday.

Ms. Lyn Eileen

It’s lit in here????

Jake Smith

Play the pass line . Nobody likes someone who plays "Don't Pass." It's line rooting against everyone else at the table.

Preston Wolfe

I just won 1306.00 minus taxes
