Western Suburbs Leagues Club: "Eating, gambling and shows." Top 5 Page for this destination Newcastle Nightlife Tip by iandsmith

This is Newcastle's busiest licensed club. For those from overseas, clubs in Australia take on a different meaning and it's all to do with one thing - poker machines (or slot machines as some places call them).
From these little beasts come obscene amounts of money but, at least if you're a member or visitor, the benefits are returned in the way of excellent facilities and shows.
Wests, as it is commonly known in Newcastle, has four restaurants, three venues for show and conferences, an attached up market hotel and poker machines by the hundred (along with a couple of roulette and blackjack machines).
They also have an extraordinary horse racing machine that you can gamble on. It cost the club one million Aussie dollars and has little horses going around a track with cameras picking up the action and, if you can't see for the crowd, it's up on a big screen nearby. Extraordinary!
The food hall is diverse and has a range of culinary delights at reasonable prices that even backpackers can afford.
