Hipodromo Argentino de Palermo

This is a great place for a fun day out. The racetrack is huge and the building is classy and includes a casino. There was an Asado & Empanada festival in the park after the racing when I was here, so you could really treat yourself to very fine food and drink. The aroma of high quality barbequed meats in the air was intoxicating. You are expected to wear a collared shirt when being inside the casino hospitality area. It is nice to dress up fancy, but really it is not an expensive occasion. The entry to the racecourse is free and you can always place cheap bets. With a capacity of 50,000, it is the 2nd biggest racecourse in Argentina, and considered the most modern in South America. There are 120 race days per year here, and it also hosts regular fairs and music concerts. I will definitely return here.

Had a fun Saturday afternoon here with my wife . Got a nice table out by the track , good facility with clear big screen for viewing races. Great access to the horses for pre race viewing.

Well worth a visit especially on race days. Beautiful buildings and grounds, the casino was cool but you need a collared shirt.

It's always a wonderful time. Really nice day at the tracks

Unbelievably beautiful! I've never seen such a beautiful racetrack, and I've been to all three of the Triple Crown tracks. This American was incredibly impressed! One thing that was very different was that a day at the track for us at home involves champagne and cocktails. Imagine our surprise when we found that no alcohol is served.

This is the biggest racetrack in Argentina, free entrence , close to the horses , lots of asados and foodtrucks , prices a little high but not extremely. Nice atmosphere .

What's worse, the workers or machines? It should be 0 stars. This is possibly the worst casino on planet earth. You are better off burning money then going here. All machines have 0 payout or bonuses that pays nothing. It's the same on every machine. It's not a real casino. They limit you to $100k peso/daily limit to withdraw. What a joke, the machines go up to $25k pesos a spin, but you will never get a bonus on that amount because this fake casino is full of people who bet 5 cents and the machines are set to 0 payout. If you want to bet "big" they demand you show them 1 million pesos in cash or follow you to buy a ticket. What a disgrace and how sad that's how they treat there "rich" clients. Zero class and tasteless. Imagine if they did that in Vegas. It would never happen. The service is so bad here I left without even having a desire to gamble, if you call it that. Absolutely disgusting environment and very rude workers and managers. Do not waste your time even stepping foot into this fake casino. They do not even give you free drinks in there fake "vip" room. It's a joke, all you can do is laugh. Go to Puerto Madero if you want a real casino with good service or gamble online, it's much better then wasting your time and money in a fake casino with 0 payout on every machine, trash everywhere and horrible management.

Well maintained and beautiful place to watch races

Beautiful slot machine casino. The place is huge. They got a few restaurants but they are not cheap. There is no complementary anything here. No slot machine service. You have to get up and get everything. They sell cigarettes but no lighters or matches. I was told that back in the day this place had better service like a real casino. Like up to Las Vegas standards.

If you like horse racing or just want to do something different the hippodrome is the place where its at. Huge spaces and big lovely grounds to spend the whole day outside at the races. I helped my dad bet and we got the hang of the local lingo. Inside you can eat and sit at a nice table all day while going outside to watch the races. It's affordable not crazy expensive which it seems like it would be. You have a few options to eat, a more formal steak restaurant and the cafe bar options inside which are more like a cantina but everything we tried was great. Will be returning, such a nice escape from the city.

The place is a casino and they do horse racing there. I went for the casino. There are over 10000 slot machines if you are up for that! Slots are tight though so watch out!!

Went here twice. Once on 6/22 and again on 6/26. Both times we went we witnessed a horse breaking its leg during the race. It was then killed, tied up, and thrown onto a trailer in front of the audience. The animal brutality here is unbearable. This is not a place to support.
