Besides being a house racing track, the facility also hosts weddings. I recently attended a wedding within the club in the "Salón Bicentenario" (see the posted video). The grounds are beautiful and well kept. In addition to this salon there are several others, each with its own distenct look and feeling. I highly recommend taking the time to explore the Club Hipico, as I think that it is one of Santiagos best kept tourist secrets.
Come watch the ponies run and enjoy low priced beer, wine and liquor as well as standard Chilean style sandwiches. You don't need to bet, but if you want to try your luck, slap down 200 pesos (40¢) and you might just hit the trifecta. Definitely grungy and unassuming, but under the grime a heart of gold.
This is a big Hotel and Casino, feels almost like a city inside. There are plenty of activities for all ages, various food centers such that one does not have to go outside for any requirements while their stay in the hotel. There are fun activities for free including circus stunts. This is one of the very busy place in Los Angeles with affordable room costs. The place is so big and busy one might find themselves lost inside. But there are people around to help your way out. If planning for Las Vegas I will definitely recommend this place for stay and fun.
