Avoid the west end of louisville. Anything past 9th street isnt friendly.
Its a helluva good time around here at that time. Make sure to get reservations at a hotel. It may be too late now honestly. Youll love it.

I think you should make an SVTP sign and try to hold it up during a TV interview.
There are two ways to do the Derby - Infield or Clubhouse. Infield is the party zone, Clubhouse is suits\dresses and expect to spend some $$. Not sure which you are wanting to get into. It's a good time and something to experience, but it's crazy and crowded. Some people will go, be there all day and never actually see a horse. Even just parking for the day requires luck and planning. The further you park away from the track the better and walk out after, like 1-2 miles away. We would always park straight down 3rd street toward the Watterson expressway. If you look on google maps this will make sense. I know of people that have got there early and parked close to the track and been trapped in traffic until 10pm that night.
I would really need to know how old you are and how much you are into going out and drinking to recommend more. Oh and as said - you're probably going to have to drive 50 miles out of the city to find a hotel at this point.
