As someone who goes to the track for a horseracing experience, I find Harrahs Chester more designed to be a casino, than a horseracing parlor. You can only bet races on the second floor, although they have a sports bar upstairs that should have betting machines, so you can enjoy the great view, and watch the ive races through the window. It is incomprehensible why Harrahs confines racing to the second floor. It just shows me they only care about their casino, and just do racing "on the side." The horseracing bar closes by 11:30 PM, even though the races continue to 1 AM, and the prices are steep ($4 per draft), but they do have daily specials. The bartenders are friendly. We have gone there to bet race tracks that they were taking (Cal Expo), only to find they would only cash up to race 10. I don't know why they won't let us bet later races and cash the next day. The tellers are fine, although the lines are too long, and they probably could use a few more live tellers. There are lots of places to eat, but they are not always open. And yes, it is smoky, but that does not bother me, as it comes with the territory. The management seems interested in solving your issues, although some things are decided a a higher level.
Pros: closeness to philly, employees are friendly, beer specials
Cons: hate drivers in parking lot, smoke, more of a racing focus, beer price, racing bar hours

We live in Philly so we thought this might be a good alternative to driving the 40 minutes down to Atlantic City. The casino is small, filled with cigarette smoke and doesn't have the same fun feeling that AC does. Also, if you're under 30, prepared to be tagged like cattle with a neon yellow wrist bracelet given to you by workers who look and act like they are on work release from the Chester County Prison. This was definitely a disappointment and a waste of our time. Don't waste yours - just drive the extra time to AC!
Pros: free parking - close to philly
Cons: employees, games, smell, atmosphere
