Meadows Racetrack & Casino a good gamble

NORTH STRABANE, Pennsylvania -- As reported by The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette: "The silence inside the permanent structure of The Meadows Racetrack & Casino in North Strabane was perhaps the biggest thing to separate it from the temporary casino nearby as officials led a recent media tour of the new facility's shell.

"That particular difference will end once the permanent building opens in the spring, containing thousands of noisy machines and gamblers. But visitors will notice plenty of other distinctions that the racetrack-casino's officials hope will make the experience all the more appealing, among them:

"• More than twice as many slot machines, with 3,900 envisioned within weeks of opening.
• Twice as many dining options, including a steak house, another restaurant, food court and snack bar.
• An indoor parking garage with 1,200 spaces connected to the racetrack-casino, in addition to 3,500 surface spaces.
• A combination of race wagering and slots operations, with large windows facing the track's home stretch from the new facility's dining areas. Simulcasting and horse-betting operations will be located downstairs from the gaming floor.
• A 24-lane bowling alley, also located downstairs.
• Live entertainment from more spacious bar areas..."
