Totally agree with the comments regarding Horseman's Park. As salty and surly as some of the folks were at Ak-Sar-Ben (right up until it's demise) the people here treat you great. There is still a great core of horse-racing fans in Omaha.

Great alternatives for post racing dinners also!!
Waukegan has obviousy changed. My absolute favorite was a OTB within a dog track in Delavan WI. 50 cent beer fridays and a huge buffet Sundays unfortunately it closed several years ago but word is an offshoot of the Potawatami's is considering a casino/dog track/OTB which, would be AWESOME.
