Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino

We've stayed at the racetrack/casino before, but in the truck parking lot to the north sandwiched in so we could barely get inside the RV. This time we parked in the southernmost lot, where there were a few big trucks when we arrived. It seems popular with the over-length trucks that might not fit well in the other truck lot. There were also some cars closer to the building (employees?), and a few shuttle vans. We parked across several parking spaces like the trucks, along the side so we could put out a slide, and spent a fairly quiet night there. We checked out the food offerings, but it was kind of late and the cafe closes pretty early. We didn't want to pay for the steakhouse, so we got something quick at the fast food-ish place overlooking the track. We had breakfast at the cafe in the morning, it was good.

Over night stay passing through Altoona. No obstacles and no one bothered us. The spaces seemed a bit narrow so I left the bedroom slide in. Slot machines tight tight tight!!! Parked with the semi trucks.

there is an RV park next door at the adventureland park. The casino will shuttle back and forth

TIGHT parking amongst the semis; and I mean tight- we couldn't even put our bedroom slide out! Semis were double parking and even closing up striped ends- which meant back-up; we were able to turn around- slowly carefully.
No shuttle came out to truck parking. The horses were running, hardly any spots open anywhere to park.
The machines were also tight! I count the number of pulls I get in $5 increments (on a $.40 cent spin = 12 spins spends $4.80). Normally I get enough to keep playing- only a few extra spins tonight!
