Founded in 1870, Monmouth Park certainly looks its age with peeling paint, splintered seating and…read moreancient amenities mixed liberally throughout its thoroughbred racing cocktail. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy going for a fun day out but the facility is well past it's sell-by date relying on the recently opened Caesars Sportsbook for a revenue lifeline. So, in classic New Jersey fashion, the town fathers believe more casino gambling, a few hotels, some condos and an odd assortment of softball and pickleball facilities will turn the tide on Monmouth's decrepitude and revitalize the old girl -- basically Atlantic City North. Have you been to Atlantic City? Once you get past the Boardwalk and the Casino strip, the town is an impoverished mess. Springsteen said it best... "It's a place where when you hit a red light, you don't stop." Personally, I hope they make it since I enjoy watching these magnificent animals run but it's New Jersey where the uninspired reliance on gaming usually leads to snake eyes. Four very cautious stars.

Another review mentioned "grimy' which is the perfect description. A lot of the clientele is sketchy, too, and I would not feel safe alone. There were very limited food options. Our only choice was the Triple Crown Cafe, where we purchased hot dogs, and the Silks Bar for drinks. The seating area of the track is filthy and full of bird droppings. There was garbage stuck in the rails looking down onto the paddock, which had clearly been there for some time. We still had a great time and would definitely return, as shockingly, this is not the worst track we have visited. I hope they tear it down and rebuild like Belmont. There is so much wasted space and wasted potential.

Covid19 review This…read morereview is for the covid testing process. There's no horse races going on right now. Instead you can find a drive thru covid test center. You go online and register yourself at covid19screening.health.by.gov first. Then they call you to schedule a drive thru appt. You can call them too as well if it's urgent. Entrance for testing center is on rockaway blvd. Make sure everyone in the vehicle is being tested and has an appt. Drive in and let them know you have an appointment. Keep your drivers license on the dashboard and your windows up. You drive through a checkpoint where they will confirm your identity and appt. You'll then queue up to get tested. Once in the tent, they will check your drivers license again and then finally tell you to roll down your window halfway. The person testing you will swab your nostril for 10 seconds (feels longer sometimes). They then give you a card with instructions on getting results on bioreference.com. Your results should be ready in about a week. Good luck and stay safe everyone!

Multiple slot machines and tables with many types of games available. Bus stations conveniently located right outside. There is plenty of parking, highly recommend to just drive here. Recommend more options for the food court and perhaps get a lounge area because a lot of people go there for the whole day. Need a place for the family incase of the kiddos.

This is easily one of my favorite casinos because everything is in one place. Parking is free (unless you choose valet -- $15 normally, $25 on holidays), and even self-parking is convenient and a short walk to the entrance. Inside, it's always clean, the bathrooms are well kept, and customer service has consistently been great. I've never had any major issues. There are several food options, including 24/7 bites and a Chickie's & Pete's inside, which is a huge plus. Drinks are affordable and not watered down. There's also a club upstairs, plus a theater that hosts comedy shows, concerts, and other events -- so there's always something happening. The only thing missing is an attached hotel, but there are plenty of reasonably priced hotels nearby, so it's really not a big deal. Overall, it's clean, fun, and always a good vibe. If you love slot machines like I do and just want a great night out without the stress, this is the spot.

By the time we walked In the 5th race was going off. We figured let's get a bite and by the time we have our food racing cancelled for the rest of the day. This happens way too much here. Last week all 3 days and today no reason really provided. It was a little windy but nothing crazy that racing needed to be cancelled. Seems 10 years after the casino comes in the track is really an afterthought. The track condition is terrible, the seating is old and worn, hell they have some much wasted space inside and 1 bar and a small snack stand. It's like a slow painful death it seems. The purses are terrible. They need to overhaul the management and breathe some new life for this place or it won't last 5 more years.

From the perspective of a spouse of a Parx employee attending their annual picnic/barbecue, Parx…read moreRacing is a very nice place for the event. It attracts hundreds of workers and their families, with plenty of food and drink to go around. Of course, the strongest attraction are the horses raced around the mile+ track during the festivities. We were able to see (and bet on, if so inclined) eight races, some of which had the starter gate right in front of us, so we had a good look at the majestic steeds. I don't know enough about racing to gamble, so we just sat back and enjoyed the beautiful sleek powerful horses walk, cantor and gallop before us. The food was fairly much traditional, with burgers, dogs, bbq chicken and Italian sweet sausage casserole, with corn on the cob and mixed salad as sides. Very easy to overeat, and then go after the vanilla soft serve cones for dessert. I was satisfied with one of those, but my seductive companion brought me three more before we were ready to leave. How to say. "No!"? This event was great for morale, with spouses and kids around to be comfortable with mom and dad's work place. These guys make a lot of money. Glad to see they share at least a little of it with the people who make it possible. See you all next year.

We were in the picnic area where there were personal servers to the event and very nice. Other than the cold pasta and potato salad not much of an option for a vegetarian. However, there are many vendors on site to purchase individual food. The race it self there were 3 areas where the horses were and even thought we were in the front it is hard to see. We were there from 12pm to 5 pm and was only able to see 2 races in the far outside lanes. It would have been better to see more of the races on the far outside lanes.

Great stay, great choice for a weekend getaway.... And not too bad on the price point…read more Located in northeastern Pennsylvania, Mount Airy Casino Resort is a relaxing escape in the well known, majestic Pocono Mountains. Camping, hiking, skiing, all things nature and outdoor activities are the main attraction that makes this place popular. I came here for a birthday weekend celebration and I must be honest....I thought to myself ......who celebrates a big milestone bday in all places "The Poconos!? I mean when it comes to birthdays and vacations, my brain is often wired for tropical destinations, beachfront Vistas, or something more at an upbeat pace. But, I must admit. I was pleasantly surprised by my stay at the Mount Airy Casino resort. From the moment that we stepped through the doors, you are greeted with a welcoming hospitality and check-in crew that were very helpful with providing you things to do places to go and see. We stayed in one of the newly renovated rooms and it was very accommodating, spacious with one of the most comfortable king sized beds. The hotel grounds were immaculate very clean. Nothing dated a sleazy about this place that's for sure. The food options, day pool lounge and casino..... were all an added plus++ that made this place even more worth it as well. I thoroughly enjoyed my time here and I was made of a believer. I actallly had an amazing time filled with both fun and R&R....and found myself considering to stay over another night. If you're looking for a relaxing, more low key, five to celebrate special occasion or just for a quick getaway weekend..... you can't go wrong staying here. The only gripe I would say I had was with the in room snacks and wet bar.... You will be charged basically if you touch or even breathe on the items! lol. But all aside,, with the backdrop of a great outdoorsy feel and small town vibe and local eats/shopping.... You're in for a great stay and I would consider returning.....especially since this place is popular during the winter-snow season.
