Arizona Charlie's Decatur Race & Sports Book Review
Don't let first looks deceive you - the sports book at Arizona Charlie's Decatur is bigger than it seems. With room to seat almost 100 and more than 30 televisions, the book provides for all your wagering needs and makes more than a few concessions to comfort along the way.
In front of the Expo board that tracks wager-relevant information, cushioned desk chairs make it a little easier to spend the day watching your favorite team or horse, and a drink or cocktail, if you want it, is never far away.
Various promotions and events - including race contests on Fridays and a football special on Mondays - liven up the action a little, but with most major sporting events being broadcast on the book's televisions, there's definitely no lack of action.
