Hialeah Park Racing & Casino Review Jump to comments

Although the casino opened in August of 2013 this venerable Florida institution has been around, off and on since 1922 in one form or another with the race track hosting thoroughbreds beginning in January of 1925. The glory of a simpler time along with all the modern amenities can be found here. This beautiful 200 acre park has always been known as “The World’s Most Beautiful Race Course” with lush gardens, a verdant landscape, and French Mediterranean architecture that harkens back to the 1500's. The buildings have earned the distinction of a listing on the National Register of Historic Places. The environment supports a grand population of flamingos and has the honor of being designated an Audubon Bird Sanctuary.

In the ongoing re-creation and enhancements visitors can expect to see the integral parts of history restored to their former glory and accented for an entertainment experience befitting the 21st Century. The 90,000 square foot casino hosts 882 slots and electronic table games, and 23 poker tables with some on the veranda to allow cigar smoking. As the full dream is realized you can expect to see a full service luxury hotel, new entertainment venues, and commercial space creating a vibrant city center for Hialeah.

Hialeah Park Racing & Casino is a mere  5 minutes from Miami International Airport, and only 10 minutes from South Beach or Downtown Miami.
