Day 2 of our road trip brings us farther east to Erie, PA. We are spending the day and evening at Presque Isle Downs & Casino. The owner broke ground in October 2005 for this facility, which opened on February 28, 2007. It contains over 2,000 slot machines and a variety of table games.
The 1 mile oval thoroughbred horse racing track opened on September 2, 2007. It is paved with the synthetic material Tapeta Footings (a mixture of sand, rubber, and fiber with a wax coating). It's the first synthetic horse racetrack that is longer than 1 mile in the Northeast and the first racetrack paved with Tapeta in the United States. The property sits on 227 acres.
We have traveled a little over 400 miles so far! Check the next post to see if we have a winning night at Presque Isle Downs!!!
