10 Casinos & Gambling in New York That You Shouldn't Miss
New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

1. Saratoga Race Course
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,810 reviews
This famed 350-acre racetrack features thoroughbred horseracing during its six-week season from late July through early September. Though one of the sport's premier events, the races often take second place to people-watching.

The best horses, trainers and owners are at Saratoga every summer for 40 days of fantastic horse racing. I have attended many times and will return many more times. The NYRA does a great job with this meet and the history dating back to 1863 is incredible. If you haven’t been there you must add it to your bucket list.

We had not been here for quite some time. The staff were very friendly and courteous even opening the door for us to enter. It was snowing and the parking lot was well plowed. Nice! We were not aware that our old players cards were no good. So we had to get new players cards. It was fast and easy. Upon entering the playing areas we saw all the changes which were new to us. It was awesome. The place was very clean. The walkways were wide and easy to get around the casino. We like the selection of slots and the fact that the seats can be moved however you wish. It makes for a comfortable experience. We went to the buffet which was outstanding. We had the prime rib amongst the other items. The prime rib was exquisite. Juicy with plenty of flavor and so tender you could cut it with a fork. The best we have had in quite a while. There was plenty of selections on the buffet. We really enjoyed it. We had a great experience here and will definitely return

Stopped in after spending the day at the fair and it really topped off our day . I actually played the $10. the Casino gave me into almost paying for everything we did at the fair. Was great because this usually doesn't happen . So if your local or visiting the area for a bit tha Erie County Fair has a week to go and the Hamburg Gaming Casino is attached to the grounds

Went there two weeks ago and was greeted warmly and given a voucher for two free buffet lunches. I found the slots very friendly and the lunch was good. Not great but totally adequate. The Casino is smoky so we left sooner than we would have. If they invent better air circulation more people would come and stay longer. The non-smoking area is small and still smells.

This review is actually for the food at the Lounge area of Turning Stone. We don't bet very much on sporting events but we love to go eat at the Lounge. The Flatbread is much better than Upstate Tavern, the Incredible Burger is just that.. Waitresses are always friendly and attentive. If there's a big game on you will have a hard time getting there but otherwise it's usually available for dining and drinks.

We visited the casino because we were hungry. I read that if you had not been before, then you had the option of picking a free buffet meal, or $15 in free slot play you were signing up for their players club membership for the very first time. Parking was free at the casino, and it wasn’t easy 15 minute walk to the Falls area. The casino buffet was excellent for the value, and my partner was charged $16 as he had already signed up for the players club previously. Still, the food was great value for the price, and miles above other buffet restaurants such as Golden corral. The smoking floor casino has the newest games, and is the most busy. It was very hard to find a popular game such as lightning link, quick pic, or wheel of fortune with an empty seat. The casino does have a non-smoking section with older games. The non-smoking section air does seem a bit cleaner but they are openly connected to the main casino gaming floor. The table games mostly consist of blackjack or other card games, and there is a single craps table which did seem active. If you are visiting the Niagara Falls area for the first time, it is highly advisable to park or even stay overnight at the casino and take advantage of the free buffet option which must be used on the same day. There are many things that are active and available for children or youth along the street walking to the Falls area, and many restaurants or other shops for family fun. Overall I would rate this particular casino highly satisfactory in my personal visit.

We had a really good time and we are not gamblers, but had to throw 2 bucks in the slots came out with $17 so that was fun. Went with other peoples advice and avoided the breakfast buffet. ( go to mrs London's it is amazing ) Our room ( which was really beautiful and comfy very big ) was a standard king that overlooked the track. Was cheaper on the hotel website that the "discount sites " . We noticed they were exercising the horses in the AM so we took a walk out to the track ( you can stand on the rail ) and watched for a while . I wasn't sure what we were going to do while there ( in Saratoga ) as it was sort of a back up plan from what we really wanted to do that got washed out by bad weather, but it was just wonderful the whole place the hotel was the icing on the cake. Lots to do there. Dinner at Old Bryant in is great that we knew as it is a favorite of ours when we pass through town , and you must walk around the park and check out all the springs, be warned they taste AWFUL !!!!!! But do not take my word for it try it yourself you have to !!!!!
