This year we have booked our Holiday party at the Los Alamitos horse track. Yes the track will be open and the horses will be racing.  We have made arrangements to have an area blocked out for the Vipers to park.  We have our own private room overlooking the track which has a betting counter for those that would like to place some bets on the horses.  They will have a handicapper there to help out anyone who needs help choosing a pony.

There are a couple hotels very close to the track for those that would like to spend the night.
The Residence Inn by Marriott is right at the entrance to the track,  714-484-5700

Just down the street is also a courtyard by Marriott  714-827-1010
