AIRPORT - DSM. Slot machines and racetracks create an enticing environment at this popular attraction. The Prairie Meadows Racetrack and Casino sizzles. Guests can watch thoroughbred horse and greyhound racing, and then enjoy a delicious meal at Champions Restaurant, AJ's Steakhouse, Triple Crown Eatery, and there is also a concessions booth. An additional option is playing one of over 1,000 slot machines and then catching a musical act at the Finish Line Show Lounge. The staff is attentive, but the fun is only for adults, 21 and older.
