One great meal and night out
Great service and wait staff. Sarah was excellent. The meal was very well done. 3 course meal $29.99. Selection of 4 different items for each course. The Turkey ravioli was so tastey and the steak and veggies so perfect. Dessert was bread pudding with fruit in it and a caramel sauce. That and the carrot cake we can vouch for as being top notch. The halibut was also excellent. Two appetizers two steak dinners and two large desserts a bottle of great wine and then an Irish coffee and a cocktail was like $125 including the tip. Great seat to watch the races as well. Make sure you get reservations as seating is reduced due to covid.

A SMALL CASINO BUT VERY NICE
Couples
The Red Shore Casino was a little hard to find for the first time... it really could use some better street level signage... but once I found it, I enjoyed the place. It is a but small as casinos go but it has a good selection of slot machines. The place is clean and bright and I would definitely go back when the opportunity presents itself.

Disappointing!!!
Family
Run of the mill Casino, nolthing special. Vacationing from Ontario, where Casino's know the value of satisfied patrons - non-alcoholic drinks are FREE. PEI, on the other hand has extremely tight machines (didn't see anyone winning) and they charg an outrageous amount for pop or coffee. Shame on you.

Racetrack and Casino
I LOVE the horsetrack..you can stand right up against the rail while the horses and jockeys whiz right past you. The casino is good too ..however they need to get new games more often and have a few more people win at the slots.. We don't see many winners here

Nothing but the truth
Couples
Came here on a Saturday afternoon and had a great time.
Horses were running and the weather was great, did some betting, drank some beer, won a little money.
And then we went into the casino and won a little bit more money, so a win/win for us. lol
This was the most fun we had on Prince Edward Island.

PEI Casino
Friends
I thought we would like to check out this Casino in Charlottetown as the one in Summerside is a lot smaller. We went down when the Old Home Week show was on. Which made it difficult to get in to the Casino unless you paid admission to the show, then I couldn't find a ATM that took credit cards at first the only ones I could find took debit card only. Had to walk to almost the entrance to the show to finally find a ATM that took credit cards. Then when I finally went in to the casino I wasn't impressed as it did not have very many slot machines. Most major cities have casinos that have a lot of slots and tables. If u want to go make sure you check out their website, it might help you decide if you will go! The good news is that I was able to get it a nice size win, so it wasn't a complete disappointment that night for my friends and I.

BUYER BEWARE
Friends
BUYER BEWARE...We purchase Gold Cup and Saucer Race tickets for Saturday night but due to weather it got changed to Sunday night. We are from out of the province and were unable to attend on the Sunday. We have been only for this event for quite a few years, and will not attend anymore. They would not refund our money. They were $55 per ticket and we had 4 tickets. Poor customer relations!!!!

Sylvia, Thanks for your review and your patience on your guest experience at Red Shores.The 2018 Gold Cup & Saucer scheduled for Saturday August 18th was moved to Sunday due to weather and the safety off all concerned. Red Shores honoured all ticket holders who purchased tickets in the grandstand for the Gold Cup event and did not provide refunds to any customer who couldn’t attend the show on Sunday. However, we need to do a better job on setting clear expectations on how weather delays/postponements impact ticket holders on pre-paid events. This was an oversight. We apologize to you and your guests. We want to thank you for bringing this to our attention, please contact Lee Drake 902-620-4222 ext. 4263. Thank you for your business!

Buffet & Casino
Friends
We went there for a staff party on a Thursday evening, and had a blast. We started off at the bar inside the Casino. We all got a free deck of cards at the front desk, and then proceeded to the top of the building for supper. Everything was delicious. There was a wide assortment of food, and even the vegetarian and gluten free staff members were happy. The view from the restaurant is great, and on race days/nights it must be a lot of fun to watch while enjoying the buffet. There's also a bar upstairs as well.
The staff in general were great, but I need to stress how fantastic the restaurant staff were.
We ended the evening inside the casino, and for a Thursday evening there were quite a few people there. We had a bit of fun at the .02 and .01 cent slot machines.

There are elevators or stairs going up to and leaving the restaurant - if you have a drink with you when you're going up, a staff member will ask you to take it for safety reasons, which I think is smart.

Christmas get together with family
Couples
We had my husband's family Christmas get together here last night. The friendly atmosphere and setting made it easy to chat and feel welcome. The food was great. A hugh selection of food for everyone. You can always find something to like even for the most picky eater. Lots of laughter and people were very friendly who waited on us. Lots of room to move your chairs to get in and out. Love this place and have been here before and will go back again.
