Prairie Meadows Casino, Racetrack, & Hotel

The continental breakfast was top notch! It's a restaurant and you can order anything off the menu. Way better than a waffle maker and cold cereal that's typical of other continental breakfasts. Very clean casino and very clean room. I would definitely stay here again.

The escalator was down due to repair, but the elevator was running. We are both disabled, so it worked out OK.
They now charge $7 for valet! We weren't aware of it until we went to get our vehicle. BE AWARE OF THIS MANDATORY CHARGE BEFORE YOU GO IN!

So I think the little servers that bring you drinks are overworked because not one time as I sitting there did they come out and offer me anything or ask me if I needed anything. But beyond that I've never stayed in a room there they must be nice I'm not too sure it must be nice I'm not too sure. It would be nice if they offered people who had a bad experience there I didn't really have a bad experience I just didn't have any experience with the workers there any experience with the people that work there I like to go because it's a distraction I don't like to lose but I don't take much in location is great. I just wish there was more interaction with the staff maybe some more free play I'm not sure and most of all they took out the games that I really really like to play I don't know how to ask somebody to put them back in or what.

AJ's Steakhouse. I found the prices to be reasonable and appropriate. Many casino steakhouses seem overpriced. The range here is $18 - $50, except Rib Eye and Lobster Tail ($75, if I remember correctly). Sirloin Steak was excellent as was the Iowa Center Cut Boneless Pork Chop(pictured).
Chop was like an Inch and a Half thick and grilled to perfection. I was full and passed on dessert.
