Tickets for Millionaires Row and the Skye Terrace, which are the exclusive, interior dining rooms, start at $36,000 per table of eight. The table, which is good for both Friday and Saturday, includes a chef's table buffet and alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, among other amenities like live mutuel tellers and self-service betting machines.

Attendees can also purchase tickets for the Luxury Trackside Club for $2,750 per person. The two-day package comes with all-inclusive catering and open bar, plus other amenities.
