A short drive from Madison (about an hour and 45 min.) is Mystique Casino in Iowa, better known as Dubuque Greyhound Park and Casino. Mystique is a lot more fun than two closer casinos, Ho-Chunk (Baraboo) and Potawatomi (Milwaukee), and here's why:
Mystique does have table games, including craps and poker. Even on a Saturday night, one can find several tables with a $5 minimum (unheard of in most casinos).
The dining options are good, with a fancier restaurant (Champagne), a Houlihan's and a buffet (Bon Appetit). Not surprisingly, drinks are not free (even when you gamble), but they are pretty cheap ($2.50 for a Jack and Coke).
Mystique has live entertainment weekly, and it even draws bigger names as evidenced by Gin Blossoms booked to perform in a few weeks.
And of course, there is the dog park. One may sit inside or outside. There's usually about 14 races several nights a week.
