Prairie Meadows Casino, Racetrack and Hotel will extend its current mitigation initiatives to continue doing their part to help slow the spread of COVID-19.

Prairie Meadows’ continued safety measures include:

  • Temporary suspension of all forms of smoking on property for both guests and employees to ensure masks
    are worn properly for longer periods of time, optimizing personal safety.
  • Food may be eaten only in designated areas. Guests may eat in AJ’s Steakhouse, at tables in the Finish Line Show Lounge, in the Paddock Grill & Deli, and tiered seating near the Paddock.
  • Face masks are required to be worn at all times. Entry points have been reduced, so staff can monitor guests
    to ensure everyone has a proper face covering upon entering. Face shields, neck gaiters, and masks with vents will not be permitted.
  • 100% of the air is exchanged every 15 minutes through a two-stage filtration process that includes an anti-microbial treatment.
  • High-grade disinfectants and electrostatic sprayers are used on a rigorous cleaning schedule to sanitize
    the property daily.

“We believe these mitigation efforts will aid in the overall community response to slowing the spread of COVID- 19,” said Gary Palmer, President/CEO of Prairie Meadows. “We are optimistic about what lies ahead in 2021,” he added.
