Dubuque Greyhound Park and Casino hosts live dog racing from May through October. There’s nothing more exciting than watching one of the world’s fastest animals race around the beautifully landscaped track. Watch from the comfort of the indoor clubhouse, with tabletop color television monitors, or outside, up close, at the very edge of the action. Year-round, guests can enjoy simulcast racing from the nation’s top tracks. The casino boasts 600 slot machines, including traditional favorites like Red, White and Blue; Double Diamonds; and Sizzling 7’s. This entertainment venue also has interactive multi-coin video games with 1-cent, 2-cent, nickel, quarter, $1 and $5 games. Full-service dining, an extensive buffet, sandwiches, popcorn, pizza and snacks are also offered.
