Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino: Great Place

Rick — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:55:01 +0100

What a amazing place! The casino offers a large smoke free place to play slots, I wish more places offered that.
The poker room is large and comfortable. The food was great in all of the restaurants. The hotel has a really nice indoor and outdoor pool. The artwork throughout the property is amazing. I will be back.

Fire Rock Casino: The Best

This is the best casino in the west. The people, the food and, perhaps best of all - the payouts - make Fire Rock an awfully good place to gamble. I spent a weekend in Gallup and came away very satisfied. The video poker machines are new with fast, crisp buttons and big screens. You can go between $.25 to $5.00. When I won, the women with the money seemed really glad to pay me. The second night I walked in I was greeted by name! Zowie. Looking forward to going back. The $8.00 cheeseburgers are great.

Route 66 Casino: Route 66 is Great

I Love The 6. It's Big, Clean and Fun. Lots of Slots and Tables. The Buffet on Thursday and Friday Nights is Outstanding. 19.95 for all the Seafood you and Eat (Crab, Clams, Mussels, Oysters on the Half Shell, Shrimp, Tri Tip Steak, Pizza etc. Beer,Wine and Lobster Tails Available for Extra. Very Affordable compared to Red Lobster or Landry's.

Main Street Bar and Restaurant has great Lumberjack Breakfast and Fillet and Lobster for dinner. Snack Bar has Really Good Nasty Nachos. 3 Bars now with Friendly and Great Bartenders, they are expanding again and adding more bars. Parking is easy, 2 valets. Hotel is clean with Huge TV in Room.

Wish they would add an RV Park or at least a dump station. Will Let us Park overnight with our RV for Free in designated RV Parking. Slots are a little slow but so is the economy. Theater is large with 2 bars and 2 sets of bathrooms. 21 to Gamble or Drink. No Booze on the Gambling Floor or Hotel, coffee and Soda Stations everywhere.
They have a Kids Quest for kids and a Video arcade for teens, My Nephews 8 and 10 love it. Security is Great and EVERYONE is FREINDLY. They have a smaller more casual casino for travelers and the Truck Drivers that do not want to ride the shuttle to the Big Casino. Not the largest or fanciest in New Mexico But our Favorite!

Route 66 Casino: My favorite casino in the nation

I love this casino. It's big, they bring in new machines often, it's very clean, and you can play a while and have fun even if you don't win big. The casino is great. I haven't played table games or had much to do with customer service or the players club. Their buffet used to be wonderful, but since they expanded it and raised the prices, it leaves me as cold as the food I ate last time. What used to be a more intimate seating area is now like the common area of a mall with tables in it, the noise level is loud, and by the time you walk down the very lengthy buffet and back to your table, your food is cold. I wish they had not remodeled and "improved" their buffet, I won't go back again. Their KXX nightclub is where you can have some alcohol although not allowed to take it out to the casino floor. The problem I found with it is that they must take the name "nightclub" very seriously, having a "dress code" and a very snobbish attitude -- dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, I was ignored by the staff for the most part and received sneering disdainful looks when they did serve me. Again, I won't go back in there. BUT.... I will continue to go to the casino for the slot machines, where I have a good time and staff members you see are all smiling and friendly, including the cashier cage.

Fire Rock Casino: Nice & New

Visited on Aug 10, 2009. A very nice new casino. Machines are new & up to date. Lots of machine availability on weekdays. All employees are very friendly with smiles & "glad you are here" attitude.

Buffalo Thunder Resort & Casino: Had a good time

quickhit — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 01:07:14 +0100

We enjoyed our overnight stay here a few months back. Our room was very nicely appointed with a large balcony and a pretty swank bathroom. Didn't win a whole lot on the slots, but they do have an extensive and entertaining selection of machines. Everyone we encountered was very nice and welcoming. The native artwork displayed on the lobby level is nothing short of spectacular.

The showroom, however, was disappointing. We were there to see Don Rickles, and the theater is just your basic hotel ballroom, no theater chairs or stadium seating.

All in all, we had a great time there, and will no doubt be back.

Sandia Resort & Casino: Best in New Mexico

One of the best resorts and casinos in New Mexico... the customer service was out of this world, good machines, great food! We love it here

Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino: Save your money and go to Vegas

Dan — Wed, 27 May 2009 19:28:43 +0100

Slots are tight. Indian casinos in New Mexico only have to payback 80%, and results not published, not even casino aggregate.

Poker room is acceptable-barely. Staff is heavily Indian with 'tudes. Player's club is pathetic and not worth giving them your name.

Atmosphere is desperate with drinks (non-alcoholic only on the floor) few and far between. Rooms are overpriced for what you get.

Buffet is great if you like bland elementary school cafeteria food. (At least Zia Park has a self-serve drink station, if you bring your own coffee cup. They always seem to be out of cups).

Zia Park Race Track & Black Gold Casino: Not so much

Dan Viernes — Sun, 10 May 2009 15:18:47 +0100

Slots are tight and malfunction often- takes up to 30 minutes for someone to retreive your money- Most machines won't accept new bills. There are no table games, just machines emulating them. Customer service is marginal and announcements when someone does win are mostly by persons with heavy accents that are difficult to understand.

Players club offers few and poor mailers. Gaming atmosphere seems desperate with hoards of handicapped people shipped in on buses with frequent announcements to them to rejoin their party. No hotel- drinks are strictly non-alcoholic on the floor and servers surly, few and far between. Food is mediocre in all venues. Save your money up and go to Vegas. Even Strip casinos are better than any casino in New Mexico, especially Indian casinos. Don't Waste your time at Inn of the Mountain Gods either.

Sandia Resort & Casino: outstanding vegas style casnio

AJ MELK — Sun, 01 Feb 2009 16:01:25 +0100

If you want Las Vegas style gaming this is the casino to visit. With panoramic views of the Sandia Mountains and an 18 hole golf course, this is an outstanding vegas style casino in the Albuquerque, New Mexico area.
