From the reviews
Holy cow. I thought I loved Red Hawk Casino before but the newest edition of The Apex took it to a whole new level. What is Apex? It’s a whole new wing of the casino that’s available to all ages and contains the following: Indoor Go-Kart Racing (multi level), Interactive Bowling, Golf Simulators, VR Arcade, Grill and…
I’m not sure how long this place has been around, but I am shocked that I am just now hearing about it. This place is EPIC!!!!! if you are looking for a place to take your family or even a date night it is so much fun and I felt like the price was not expensive at all for what you get.
This is definitely a hidden gem of El Dorado County. We’ve stopped in to see the Apex when we’ve been at the casino and it’s always been SO busy. My son had a birthday party here a few months ago on a Saturday evening and it was (again) super busy and seemed almost chaotic.
If you want to have hours of fun, APEX is the spot. Perfect for the family, kiddos, first date & grownups. It’s inside the Red Hawk Casino, so you can grab a bite to eat, gamble and then play games.
