Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots Reviews

I came here for Jazz Fest and it was amazing! The drinks were cheap and the music was out of this world! LOVED IT!!!!!

This a prospective from a local New Orleananan. I come to this establishment at lease. 2 or 3 times a months and I have been gambling at this establishment for several year. First, I think management (floor) could be a more friendly than they are. This gentlemen whom I believe is floor management, who I alway see has his arms folded as if he watching to see how customer are behaving. I have encounter him in passing and he has never smiled or even a slight greet. He manner is very intimidating. I am sure if I am suppose to be here to enjoyed my evening or look over my shoulder. He can use a class in customer service. I believe this attitude has transcend to all the other employee.
The cash cage is not friendly. I was there last night, said hello to the cashier, she never responded, in a rude voice, told me to sign my name for ID purpose without an explanation.
Your maintenance crew for what I can see do their job. They are polite when removing use drink cups or bottles.
I come here to relax and do a little gambling. I don't want to feel like I am doing something wrong. These personalities should be corrected. This is just a place to gamble, no more no less. I want to feel relaxed in this place, not like I AM DOING SOMETHING WRONG. WOULD APPRECIATE A WARM WELCOME. And I am sure I speak for a lot more people.
Thank You
check your customer service in the Casino. I am a Guest, not a invader.

Race tracks always get 5 stars. Wait staff in club house having a bad day.

Great track and venue where the legendary NOLA Jazzfest is held

Great access to the paddock then straight out to the track!

They have wonderful meeting space and make a great turkey burger.

Helluva place tuh deliver uh 53' of uh New Mexico high quality horse hay.

Went for the wennie dog races and had a great time with family and friends! Will go back!

Number one for the Jazzfest. Even the thunderstorms couldn't dampen the festival. Long may it continue.

This is a pretty decent racetrack, the casino is slightly depressing but overall it was a good time and I enjoyed the ostrich races held here. This is also the side for jazz fest.

We're here for JazzFest. There is nothing to not love.

A New Orleans Landmark worth a visit for a day of horse racing and dining. Great menu selection; famous for their corned beef sandwiches. Clubhouse reservations are a good idea. Always a great time! Plenty of parking available. Casino is available on site.

Machines are tight they know you coming to see the race

Traditional Opening Day is Thanksgiving , only in NOLA !!

Annual location for New Orleans Jazz and Heritage festival. Great music and lots of food vendors, crafts and art.

They don't have Joker poker machines and it's ultra light paying machine to taking more forties

Loved this place. Went for Jazz Fest. Had a great time!

Great for locals. Small and quaint. Clean and respectable.

Awesome time Ms Ross exceeded expectations,and the fried chicken was delicious!

I have been to the fairgrounds for the Jazz Fest. I was very impressed with the facilities and layout. The festival brings in several hundred thousand people a year and I still think it's one of the most overlooked music festivals. They have absolutely incredible talent each year and I highly recommend checking out the festival at least once in your life.

If it ain t raining it s a miracle. Tom Jones at Jazz Fest was incredible!

Full Disclosure: This rating is based solely on my 7-day attendance at the NO Jazz & Heritage Festival. I never visit any other time.

Really nice venue, super friendly people. Slots were more generous than the ponies.

It is a quaint, small casino that surprisingly shuts down at midnight. It's clean, mostly smoke free, and the fact that it's got the racetrack is an added fun time bonus. I give them two stars because of management behaviors... They "hired" me to work surveillance for them in an on the spot interview, and when I called him the following week to find out when I needed to come in for paperwork and drug testing, the surveillance manager tells me that his GM told him he couldn't hire anyone so they rescinded the job offer. Not good publicity or ethics for a place.

Jazz Fest!! What's not to love...other than the crowds and mud.

We went for the Thanksgiving day opening at the Fairgrounds. Fantastic New Orleans tradition that is a must for New Orleanians.

It was freezing in there. I was sick when I got home.

Location of New Orlesns Jazz and Heritage Festival and off-track betting and casino machines and horse racing at the right time of year. With dirt and grass tracks

Nearly impossible to win! Tightest slots in New Orleans

Went for Jazz Fest 2 years in a row!!! Amazing food and entertainers. Finally got to see Aerosmith live in concert!! So many artists to choose from. Recommend to all music lovers. Parking is terrible so get there early

There for jazz fest and perfectly run with great live performances

You can enjoy eating and watching the races as well as off track betting.

#JazzFest50 no more to say. Food, Family, Music and Culture in one place. Ok, let's add History, Now. Thank You for the decades review of the Festival. Can we get an encore presentation so that school kids and the local community can experience?

I go every year for the music and crawfish bread. This was my daughter's first year and we will make this our annual "must do". Although my daughter's main objective was to watch Maroon 5, it was nice to see her dancing around to the different types of music.

Waste of money. Poor food and fair service. Ate there for traditional Thanksgiving meal at $125 per person. Waste of money. Past years food has been good. This year it was bad.

Thanksgiving dinner was hardly ample for the cost...Not to mention they ran out of pumpkin pie almost right away...The service was pretty good but not top notch for a venue charging so much..The venue itself is nice and seating was great..

Decent place to drink play slots and play the ponys

2017 NO Jazz Fest! Great time with many great artist and Shell was a great sponsor.

Beautiful And nice people's you have a nice time all the time

I love this place but I wish there parking didn t cater to the handicaps so much. I mean can we get a row outta deal. I understand front door entrance but not the rest of the parking lot
