Prairie Meadows Des Moines Sportsbook Review

Category: Sportsbook Reviews
The sportsbook at Prairie Meadows is the only sportsbook in the Des Moines area. It is located off I-80 about 10 miles northeast of downtown.
This review begins with one of their key differentiators – a horse racetrack with live racing. The grandstands are connected to the sportsbook with live thoroughbred and quarter horse racing from May to October.
Setting aside the racetrack – this sportsbook has a lot to offer. One great amenity here is the ability to order food online from any of these casino restaurants: AJ’s Steakhouse, Meadows Cafe, and The Paddock Grill. The only catch with online ordering is that it’s for pickup only (they don’t deliver the food to you at the sportsbook).
Seating within the sportsbook is fairly ample. There are a bunch of tables and chairs scattered across the room. The main seating area in front of the large screen TV has a cozy ‘living room’ feeling. Important note – there are only six large comfortable leather chairs and the sportsbook doesn’t accept seating reservations.
In Conclusion
Overall, this sportsbook earns high marks as an oasis for sports bettors visiting or living in Des Moines. Also, admission and parking for the racetrack/sportsbook are completely free.
