Mardi Gras Casino-an Institution for Greyhound Racing in Hollywood Florida
Greyhound racing has a long-standing history, deeply rooted in the South Florida lifestyle. When the race track opened in 1934 as the Hollywood Kennel Club, over 1,200 people arrived, curious about Greyhound racing in Florida.
After opening day, excitement and interest swelled, prompting track owners to construct a grandstand area that is known today as the largest in the world. Eventually the Club’s popularity motivated owners to expand into other areas of gaming including slots and poker.
Today Mardi Gras Casino proudly continues the Hollywood Kennel Club’s tradition of providing exceptional Greyhound racing entertainment. Although some fans prefer to cheer in the grandstand, others appreciate the ambiance of fine dining while watching the Greyhounds round the track. The The French Quarter’s majestic floor-to-ceiling windows allow fans to sip fine wine and enjoy a succulent steak throughout the race
