General admission to the Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort's track, as well as the property's casino, is free for visitors.
Parking on non-race days is free, while race day parking costs $2. The Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort sits roughly 1 1/2 miles south of downtown Hot Springs. Whether you're betting or just enjoying the race, past tourists insist that you try one of the track's signature corned beef sandwiches when lunchtime rolls around. In between races, travelers suggest heading inside to enjoy the casino's slot machines and table games. Recent visitors particularly praised the racetrack, as the horses are a novel source of entertainment. When you're not rotating between the track and the casino's floor, grab a bite at the Silks Bar & Grill or take in some live music. The Oaklawn Racing Casino began a phased expansion in May 2019, but travelers can still try their chances with Lady Luck at the storied attraction. Host to thoroughbred races since 1904, the Oaklawn Racing Casino Resort is popular with visitors who need a break from the area's natural attractions.
