This lovely, spacious facility has nowhere to go but up! Huge potential ... I see weddings and other similar events being held here. It has several large meeting spaces, and can probably cater to groups such as this in the future. My husband and I had the Sunday Brunch today - off the menu - food good, and checked out the buffet. Could be presented a little more attractively, for the prices! Everything very clean, staff helpful and courteous. Will be back in the future, for sure. So blessed to have a facility like this in our community. Good Luck for the future. There is a lot of hard work ahead! (I also submitted a few suggestions for naming the beautiful new restaurant and lounge facility on the third floor)! P.S. I think there is a huge need for "getting the word" out about the Arizona Downs facility to the Quad-City area - maybe in the future, ads in the Courier using the Downs logo (which is very attractive and eye-catching ... in color), radio ads on several local channels, and (if funds allow), a TV-ad?

The first floor offerings were the best options. The place is clean and the staff seemed friendly. Will go again but may call ahead for meal...
ย ย ย Read moreI helped host an event there (did NOT go for horse races so I can't rate based on that) and everything went very smoothly! They let us come the day before & day of the event to decorate, put signs up downstairs & outside & even helped us with clean up! Chuck was amazingly helpful throughout the whole experience whenever we needed anything or had any questions. Only gave it a 4 because we used tokens for drinks & whether it was a mixed drink, cup of wine or a soda, it was $8 each which I thought was a little rough, & at least the piece of chicken I ate (& a couple others) were a little over cooked, but everything else was great! Karen at the bar was very kind as well as many other staff members but I didn't get all of their names. Great...
