Table games at Charles Town? Why would I ever go to Laurel again?

I was there last year and got lost trying to find my way out of the building.

Once you go a few times, you figure things out, but you're right, they need some kind of directory there like they have at a mall to figure out where they heck you are going. They certainly don't make getting to the track/buffet/simulcast area very easy.

all apart of the master plan, that place caters nothing to horse players... you have to cross the yellow brick road to get to the track, its an afterthought to that place, its on the ass end of a gold mine. Don't make the mistake of parking valet, you'll be in a maze for 20 min. taking left and rights just to see how little space the racing part of the track takes up as compared to the casino. Elevators out of the parking garage are just as bad, just more confusing. If you're going there for horse racing i suggest parking outside just past the finish line on the first turn, you avoid ALL the casino riff raff and can walk right onto the front stretch with no hassle.
