Saratoga Springs

Highlights: Racetrack, outdoor gaming area, location, and more

Saratoga Casino Hotel was the first in the state to open as a dual gaming/racing venue. The casino isn’t allowed to offer live table games, but it has over 1,200 slot machines along with electronic table games. The venue has a number of dining options which include a sports bar and steakhouse. If you’re looking to bet on racing, Saratoga’s race track will have you covered. The track is one of the most famous in the state and its 81st season is underway. They recently added an outdoor gaming area that features 50 slot machines that overlook the track.

Don’t worry, the outdoor heaters allow the area to be playable in the winter as well.

Conveniently located just under 35 miles from Albany, Saratoga Casino Hotel is in a beautiful area of New York. A day trip to Albany wouldn’t be out of the question if you’re staying local. If you’re looking for something a little closer, the National Museum of Racing Hall of Fame is right next to the racetrack. You’ll learn about the history of the sport, while being taken behind the scenes on race day. If you’re staying at the casino’s hotel book on the website to make sure you get the best rates.
