Racing and Gaming Conference at Saratoga

Welcome Reception Returns to Historic Adelphi Hotel

SARATOGA SPRINGS, NY – The 2025 Racing and Gaming Conference at Saratoga is set to take place August 11-13 at the Saratoga Hilton. By popular demand, the Welcome Reception will once again return to the historic Adelphi Hotel, a cherished Saratoga Springs landmark. This highly anticipated gathering will be held on Monday evening, August 11, immediately following the conference’s opening sessions.

The Adelphi Hotel is an ideal setting for industry leaders to connect and network. Guests will step back in time 150 years and take in the grandeur of the Victorian ballroom and lush garden courtyard, enjoying gourmet hors d’oeuvres crafted in celebrity chef David Burke’s scratch kitchen and sipping Saratoga-inspired specialty cocktails.


Described by Condé Nast Traveler as “unmissable, with its Victorian wedding cake of a façade and three-story-high pillars,” the Adelphi boasts a rich heritage dating back to the 19th century. First reimagined in 1877 by William McCaffery, a former railroad conductor, the hotel quickly became a social and business hub, attracting legendary figures such as Mark Twain, Teddy Roosevelt, the Rockefellers, and the Vanderbilts.


Over the years, luminaries from Frank Sinatra to Duke Ellington have graced its halls. One of its earliest and most storied guests, John Morrissey – world heavyweight boxing champion, US congressman, state senator, and founder of Saratoga’s renowned Thoroughbred racecourse – helped cement the Adelphi’s lasting legacy.


Due to growing attendance and Saratoga’s bustling August season, securing accommodations early is highly recommended. A block of rooms is available at the Saratoga Hilton. You must book your room by July 9, 2025, to receive the group rate. Room blocks are filling quickly, so don’t miss the opportunity to book your stay in one of the nation’s most iconic and vibrant racing communities.
