hollywood park

Nice place to walk aound and view of shops Dine , coffee shops and more..Very good Like the area when visted

My 12 year old and I came here for vacation and had a great time. The attractions, the walks, the unique stores, everything we did was worth the money and time.. Can't wait to return in the summer where there will be more to see and do!!

I went in for simple curiosity and I must have spent 2 minutes in there and walked out. To the people who say fun for the home family what are they thinking? These place is not for families. I mean I only now learned theres a racetrack and dont know about that but the casino is awful. A lot of sketchiness and an overall bad tone to the atmosphere. I guess as a tourist you expect something like a vegas casino. This is nothing like it, its a warehouse with tables. Nothing nice or elegant about it. Also the surrounding area doesnt seem very nice. Just not a place for tourists dont go there.

Convenient to the airport but nothing special. The tournaments I was in were very small. And the games were so-so.You can go if you are nearby but no special trip for this one. Had some nice snacks .

Hollywood Park is closed and the buildings will be demolished within the next month to make room for a new mixed use development of housing and retail.

I have been here 5 or 6 times. They were bad before, they are worse now under new owners. The worst rip off poker room that I have ever been to, even by California standards.The rake is abusive. They rake $5 from every hand as long as there is any betting. Sometimes the house takes more from the pot than the winner of the pot. They rake $1 from every hand, even if hand isn’t played and the big and small blind chop the pot. When a player leaves the table in some positions, they make three players post the blinds for several hands. It makes no sense. They are just stealing more money from the players.There incentive program is almost non-existent. Half the regulars don’t even bother. On my last trip I played about 25 hours. I received $5 in cash back. They make you re-swipe your player’s card on every new dealer. Most of the dealers don’t bother to tell players that they need to swipe when they come to the table. If you want to use your incentive for food, you must go to one of their few machines, swipe, get a coupon, and give to the server. The server won’t do it for you.At my table, one of the players became abusive. He was a regular. He shouted ethnic slurs at another player. House didn’t even caution him. I make it a point to be the most polite player at the table. I mucked one hand one of my cards accidently went in the dealers chip tray. I was hassled by the floor person who said that I threw my cards at the dealer. No such thing happened. The next day, two players were making death threats against one another on the other table. Although they did warn the players and bring out a few security guards, they did not kick out the players. They should have been banned.The food is not very good or a good deal.The only reason that I have played here is that it is very close to the airport and I frequently stay at hotels in the LAX area. Time to find a new casino near LAX.

After years of swirling rumors of the imminent sale of this once famous racetrack where the stars came out to watch and bet on the once great horses that coveted this track of the Lakes and Flowers as it was known, steeped in racing history some of America's most famous racing legends thundered into the history books there, including the great Dr. Fager my personal favorite in the Californian where he toted a hefty 130 lbs where destroyed his feeble competition and also the many grade1 stakes the nations last Triple Crown winner Affirmed won in each of the three years he competed, my favorite being his thrilling victory in the Hollywood Gold Cup where he ran a 1\5 off the world record. Lets not forget the first ever Breeder's Cup was held there back in 1984 and more recently the home of the great Zenyatta that became one of the recent big draws for racing fans everywhere, I for one will be sad to see it close its doors after this final fall meeting. I worked there for many years and it was a better surface to train your horses on as opposed to the very hard Santa Anita surface that is continually changing.

We love this horse track and always have a good time when we go there. It is closing at the end of the year for good, so we thought we would take one last trip on July 5. Free parking, $10 general admission and we found great seats overlooking the finish line (we got there about 60 minutes early). Beer was $1, can't beat that!! The track was very crowded, but a good crowd. The only thing we saw was someone had dropped a $20 bill and another person picked it up and walked away not giving it back to person who lost it...karma folks...

We had a great time at the race track and even won some money. This is an older building that will be closing soon. Food choices are slim but they do have a bar. It's a nice place to relax and watch the ponies run. We were told that it will be torn down in the next year to make way for a shopping mall ( they don't need anymore of these)

I only went to the Hollywood Park Casino, not the racetrack. But I hated it.Lots of low life characters. If you play blackjack they use an automatic shuffling machine after every hand to increase the house odds. I hated that also! I will not go there again. Drive to Casino Morongo instead (on the way to Palm Springs). It is much nicer.

Race track is absolutely beautiful, a lot of interesting dudes there, but its a race track c'mon. The food being cooked outside smelled great.

Have never had a problem here, it just is nowhere near as clean, nice, or up to date like Santa Anita or Del Mar. More degenerates here than the other tracks I mentioned. I'll go if I need a gambling fix :-)

Compared to the elegant background of the San Gabriel Mountains at Santa Anita Racetrack- this race track is a truly skeazy experience. Hollywood Park is home to gambling addicts, sad-eyed bartenders and their desperate brethren... hold on, I am making this place sound better than it is. A slice of un-romantic modern LA as painted by Charles Bukowski

So great, we will definately to there again. There are many things that we did not have time to watch it. Pls bring the raincoat with you when you visit the universal studio

Hollywood Park used to be the gilded lily of the horse racing world. On any given day, you would see the creme de la creme of the golden age of Hollywood. Unfortunately, much like that golden age, Hollywood Park's glory days have passed.That being said, it is still a wonderful facility to watch live racing. It is also used by many trainers as a 'home base' and training facility. I have not had the opportunity, but I have been told that many of the trainers are very accommodating to guests in the back stretch. There is a persistant rumor gaining more and more credibility in the horse racing world that Hollywood Park's days are numbered. If you get a chance, go see this grand old dame before she fades away completely.
