Caesars Entertainment and Monmouth Park in Oceanport celebrated the grand opening of a trackside Caesars Sportsbook.
Local dignitaries joined Caesars Entertainment and Monmouth Park leadership for a ceremonial ribbon-cutting to commemorate the opening of the state-of-the-art sportsbook, bar and restaurant.
“It’s fitting to open this cutting-edge venue at Monmouth Park, where legal sports betting in New Jersey first launched, and add to its rich history,” said Dan Shapiro, senior vice president and chief development officer at Caesars Digital.
“With this investment, we are proud to continue to support horse racing in the Garden State. We expect that the new integrated sports-wagering experience will draw new fans from the Jersey Shore and beyond.”
The all-new standalone venue adjacent to the Monmouth Park clubhouse features 16,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor sports-viewing space, including unmatched sweeping views of the historic racetrack.
It includes wall-to-wall video, more than 25 best-in-class self-service betting kiosks, a center bar and an exclusive VIP section. The sportsbook also features a Shake Shack location inside serving its full signature menu. Parimutuel race wagering is also available.
“We are so proud to partner with Caesars and delighted to offer fans this new, state-of-the-art sportsbook,” said Dennis Drazin, chairman and CEO of Darby Development LLC, operators of Monmouth Park Racetrack.
“This has been a long time in the making, and it’s satisfying to finally see it come to fruition as we continue the expansion of the Monmouth Park facility as a top entertainment and gaming destination in the state.”
