The Top Hotel Near The Bugler
-
Oaklawn is a casino resort built around one of the country's most storied horse racing tracks, and it earns a trip even if you never place a bet. The rooms nod to the stables outside, the marble corridors are lined with photos of guests like Al Capone, and the steakhouse is legitimately good. The crowd runs from serious racing regulars to weekend gamblers who just came for the vibes. Vegas energy, Southern pace.
