The Fair Grounds is awsome. The slots are not that great, its ok if you just want to get out. There slots doesnt pay off that often, the machines are tight. Its convenient for locals in the neighborhood. But not if you want to win some money.
March 31st is the last racing day.
Yeah most people go there to give their money away in the slots. This does not support the local race horse business people. My bro has been owner and trainer since the 1960's and he is seeing a dying race horse industry in NOLA. See a race here while you still can. Sorry for my rant.
Do they allow tractor trailer parking overnight if we are gambling ?

Fair Grounds runs Thursdays thru Sundays, withbthe exception of Christmas Eve. Post time for the first race is ordinarily 1pm CST, with exceptions for Friday the 29th 5.00p CST and the week between Christmas and New Year, when the first post time moves to 1.25p. There is a single "bonus" day of racing on Tuesday the 26th, post time 1.25p, probably to make up for the skipped Sunday on Christmas Eve.
