We went for a couple getaway, and I could not say anything bad about the hotel casino or restaurant. We had a wonderful time, service was amazing, rooms are absolutely gorgeous, we ate at Oliver‘s chophouse, and the food was phenomenal. We will definitely be back and we will highly recommend this hotel and casino to our friends and family.

Beware of the Derby Casino and hotel.
Bar tender did not know how to make a top shelf long island, then proceeded to question my willingness to payfor it. She failed 2 times. Got to my room and there was no hot water. Maintenance had to come dix it, yhen housekeeping hadcto clean it. It ruined the romantic experience i came for initially. The room should have been comped. I will not return unless this is rectified.

We only stayed one night. We stayed in the luxury room. Very large room. Everything was very clean except a used bandaid that fell out of the bedding. No weird smells in the room. Hallways smell very good. Like air freshener. We didn’t get to use the casino but it’s very close to the hotel lobby. The surrounding area didn’t look very nice. This hotel is around 15 min from downtown area and 8-10 min from Kentucky expo center.

My hotel stay was fabulous! The staff was very professional and polite, especially Pam and Brandon at the bar. They were very friendly and they made sure we got what we ordered in a timely manner. The food was hot and satisfying. I’m glad to know this hotel is in Louisville because I’ll definitely be staying again.
