HOST HOTELS

Set against a solid expanse of sky on Dover’s outskirts, Dover Downs Hotel & Casino feels more like a small city than a resort. The AAA Four-Diamond property encompasses a swanky hotel with 500 guest rooms and suites, a horseracing track, and 11 restaurants and bars. There’s even a spa, Toppers Spa/Salon, where guests can indulge in a lime-and-coconut body polish against a soothing backdrop of potted bamboo and Oriental murals. But the hotel’s main draw is the casino, which has nearly 2,500 slot machines, Poker Room, and live table games, such as roulette, blackjack, and craps.

Hotel reservations can be made by calling

1-800-711-5882

and using group code: GWMCNF.

The cut-off date for the hotel room block is February 2. 2019.
