Palace Station Race and Sports Book Review
It might be a little obvious, or a little bit of a stretch, to call the Palace Station Race and Sports book an actual palace, but for the purposes of wager-placing and sports and race watching, it may as well be.
With more than 100 televisions of varying size situated throughout the spacious book (and individual sets for race fans), it's hard not to feel like you're getting the royal treatment as far as viewing options are concerned.
A large Expo board underneath the televisions is kept up-to-date with all the relevant information and complimentary cocktail service is offered in the race book. If you're a sports fan, drinks are available at all casino bars.
Comfortable leather chairs round out the Palace Station sports book experience and make sure to check out the periodic contests the book holds - especially during football season.
