Lake Mac Casino Resort and Racetrack

The original plan to build a casino resort and racetrack at Lake McConaughy was approved by Ogallala City and county officials in June 2022 in anticipation of more casino licenses becoming authorized by the state legislature at a future date.

The Ogallala plan is a partnership between Hastings Exposition and Racing and by Elite Casino Resorts, which owns and operates the Grand Island Casino Resort in Grand Island, NE.

In July 2024 the Nebraska Racing and Gaming Commission approved a racing license for Hastings Exposition and Racing to operate a quarter horse track in Ogallala, Nebraska.

The location of the casino resort and racetrack will be a 174-acre site south of Interstate 80 in Ogallala, NE. In October 2024 the Ogallala City Council approved a measure to rezone the land for a casino and racetrack.

In addition to the Grand Island Casino Resort, Elite Casino Resorts owns three Iowa casinos Riverside Casino and Golf Resort in Riverside, IA, Grand Falls Casino & Golf Resort in Lyon County, IA, and Rhythm City Casino Resort in Davenport, IA, and Walker's Bluff Casino in Carterville, Illinois.
