Emerald Room

Emerald Room

Our largest banquet room is the Emerald Room. The Emerald Room does not have direct views of the track, so events during our non-racing days can be accommodated in this large banquet room with attached bar.

This location is ideal for meetings, banquets, fundraisers, weddings/wedding receptions, holiday parties, and tradeshows.
