Planning a special Valentine’s celebration can be daunting. Where to eat, what gifts to give, what to do for entertainment – it all gets overwhelming. Well, Altoona has an amazing place that checks all of those boxes for you on Valentine’s Day.
Prairie Meadows Casino Racetrack Hotel has some great offers to make your sweetheart swoon. Their hotel has a special date night package that will get you in the mood for romance.
The package includes a one-night stay with an in-room bottle of champagne and a box of homemade fudge. It also includes a $100 food credit to AJ’s Steakhouse so you don’t have to worry about where to eat.


You’re going to love dinner at AJ’s Steakhouse!
We have some insider info that Executive Chef Carl Eskridge has some spectacular, show-stopping dishes just for Valentine’s Day. The Seafood Tower for Two is served with some table side magical flair.
For dessert, indulge in Chef Carl’s rich, smooth, dark chocolate fondue. This dessert is for two with strawberries, fresh pineapple, pound cake, and dried fruits. We’ve given this a try, and it’s delish!


Looking to spice up the night even more?
Find the perfect gift at Prairie Meadows Gift Shop. The shop has several luxury brands in stock. For her, choose from Hobo handbags and accessories, designer fragrances, Oakley sunglasses, and fashion jewelry.
For him, check out the selection of Citizen watches, RayBan sunglasses, designer colognes, and Black Clover hats. No need to drive all over town or rely on timely shipping, just shop after you check-in at Prairie Meadows Hotel.


All of this under one roof, and we haven’t even talked about entertainment yet. The casino is open 24/7, so there is no shortage of things to do.
You can take a spin on one of the 1,100 slots, get in on some table game action at the roulette wheel, or deal into a game of Texas Hold ‘Em in the poker room.
If betting sports is more your thing, Prairie Meadows has partnered with William Hill for sports wagering. Take a stroll up to Level 4 to check the real-time odds and watch a game or two on the 201” TV in the sportsbook.
