US.- Caesars Entertainment and Monmouth Park have celebrated the opening of a trackside Caesars Sportsbook at Monmouth Park in Oceanport, New Jersey. Local dignitaries took part in a ribbon-cutting ceremony.
The new venue adjacent to the Monmouth Park clubhouse has 16,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor sports viewing space. It has more than 25 self-service betting kiosks, a bar and a VIP section. There’s also a Shake Shack location.

Dan Shapiro, senior vice president and chief development officer at Caesars Digital, said: “It’s fitting to open this cutting-edge venue at Monmouth Park, where legal sports betting in New Jersey first launched, and add to its rich history. With this investment, we are proud to continue to support horse racing in the Garden State. We expect that the new integrated sports wagering experience will draw new fans from the Jersey Shore and beyond.”
Dennis Drazin, chairman and CEO of Darby Development, operators of Monmouth Park Racetrack, added: “We are so proud to partner with Caesars and delighted to offer fans this new state-of-the-art sportsbook. This has been a long time in the making, and it’s satisfying to finally see it come to fruition as we continue the expansion of the Monmouth Park facility as a top entertainment and gaming destination in the State.”
