We paid about $60-70 per person for our group to watch the races from the main buffet area on the third or fourth level. This price included all of the food you wanted from the buffet from about 11am to about 6pm. The variety and quality was excellent--roast beef, roast pork, boiled shrimp, Cajun food, fried chicken, salad, dessert and MANY other things. Also included were drinks (non-alcoholic and alcoholic). We also received a racing form. The closed-circuit TV had a racing expert giving his picks for each race before the racing began. The windows for placing bets were plentiful and the cashiers were fast and friendly. There were also machines for people to place bets without the use of a cashier. There was a nice casino on the ground level so a person could play the slots, poker, etc. before and after the racing, or even during the racing, if he wanted a change of pace. This was a really fun day.
