Experience live horse racing, wagering and the 151st Kentucky Derby Simulcast in the exclusive Alysheba Suite with private restrooms and an oversized private balcony overlooking the track’s finish line. All tickets include a cash bar and chef-inspired heavy appetizers and dessert, as well as photo installations and entertainment. VIP/Premier admission also includes reserved sections with lounge seating and a private open bar.
With your ticket, you will have admission to Lone Star Park at Grand Prairie and the Alysheba Room, where you can watch live racing without even leaving the lounge. The racing programs are free to Dallas Derby Day guests and there is complimentary wireless internet as well as flat screens TVs throughout the room.
General parking FREE, preferred parking is $20, and Valet is $35 per car. Pre-purchase is strongly recommended.
Lone Star Park is sponsoring a “Best Hat Contest” with a grand prize for “The Most Stylish” and “The Most Creative” with both winners receiving $500. You must be present in the Courtyard of Champions by 3:00 PM to be considered.
Besides horse racing, the Derby is known for ultra-ridiculous fashion – think gaudy prints, bright colors, and hats. Lonestar may allow you to enter in smart casual attire, but access to the Dallas Derby Lounge for those dressed to kill.
