Once a celebrity hotspot, now a busy entertainment venue
Hialeah Park Casino is a historic entertainment hub just north of the neighborhood. It was designed to impress, using bold elements from European architecture, such as its Monte-Carlo-inspired casino floor. Its heyday ran from the 1950s to the ‘70s, when presidents, celebrities and foreign diplomats would swing by when wintering in Miami. Today, Saca says, “Hialeah Park Casino is always busy, but it’s more of a local crowd. People who don’t live in the area will head to Hard Rock [Casino].” Hialeah Park Casino features over 850 slot machines, a poker room, six restaurants and flat-screen broadcasts of the latest horse races.
