There's a casino/hotel overlooking Oaklawn track.

The downtown area has the historic bath-house row and lots of organized crime history.

There are some cool trails with hot springs coming out of the ground. A handful of historic bars, decent food, etc.

It's also slightly ghetto, but honestly not too bad by deep south standards.

As Numberwang pointed out, there are enough sites to see to cover a weekend if you want to bring the family along. Hot Springs does have an interesting history and the area is quite pretty.

If you elect not to bring the wife there are also some very lackluster strip clubs you can be bored at while sipping over priced drinks.

To me it’s like a mini quasi NOLA - but I love places that are both skeevy and quaint.

I honestly would move to Hot Springs Village and be one those oldies who go play shuffleboard or something and then take a van to the races and casino :)

I don’t think I’ve ever been to Hot Springs and not had fun. Maybe that’s why it’s like NOLA to me???
