Mardi Gras Casino and Resort ( Tri State Greyhound Park ) is a casino located in the city of Cross Lanes, West Virginia. It is located just off the Cross Lanes exit of I-64, 14 miles west of Charleston, West Virginia and 36 miles east of Huntington, West Virginia.
The casino was known previously as Tri-State Racetrack and Gaming Center before the addition of table games, and Tri-State Casino and Resort until the name was changed to reflect its Mardi Gras theme in July 2010.
It features table games, slot machines, live greyhound racing betting, and off-track betting for both greyhound and horse racing. It also features several restaurants, food operations and a 150-room luxury hotel. The facility has a Mardi Gras theme, similar to that used by the Harrah's chain of casinos, but is not affiliated with that corporation.
Cross Lanes Dog Track is the premier location for live greyhound racing. It's where the all the action is. Greyhound racing fans can feel good about coming to the Cross Lanes dog track is because the greyhounds are nurtured and cared for by leading dog racing experts and specialists. The greyhounds are also given the finest medical and nutritional attention so when they are ready to retire, they can become the perfect pet or companion.
The track expanded its casino offerings in 2008, as casino gambling was legalized in 2007. It currently has a large poker room, and offers the table games of blackjack, roulette, craps, three card poker, four card poker, Mississippi stud, Double-Up Blackjack, Double Draw Poker, Big 6, Let It Ride and sic bo.
