Had dinner in the sports bar. Spectacular views of the Sandias. The shrimp basket was very filling and delicious. Loved the added peppercorn to the ketchup, and Titos Mule was yummy.
Utilized one of the banquet rooms for a work function and it was very nice. The room was spacious and the decor was neat and clean, it made the event fancy. It had. A stage and we were able to have a buffet style event and there were 3 stations and 2 liquor service stands. The wait staff were friendly and helpful. I would recommend use of the facility if needed for any events. The restrooms were clean and well stocked. Even our walk through to get to our destination all employees were friendly.
Beautiful large casino. Restaurant is big. Great waiter. Food was very good. I had shrimp pasta and it was well made! Gorgeous view of mountains and golf course. Lots of parking. Beautiful decor.
Where do I begin! I have stayed in some 5 star hotels before and they have never been as. NIce as this one. My girlfriend picked it for the Balloon Fiesta and it was awesome. Didnt use the casino but the rooms were so nice, bed was comfortable everyone was so nice and helpful. If I ever come back I would definitely stay there again.
I think this is the best hotel in Albuquerque! Great rooms, baths are awesome, mountain view is unbeatable. The best restaurants in the hotel, rival the best in town. Oh, a really good burger at the sports bar. Fun if you're going to catch a concert. Could do a little better on the entertainment/dancing, they close way too early.
Would've loved the casino ,I went to the gas station on the other side great prices for cigarettes . ..I went for one of my clients... very nice staff, professional ,friendly. Thank you
Its always a great place to go.. restaurant food is always great.. staff is always so very nice and helpful. The rooms are all new.. and beautiful. Its a great place to take company from out of town. Spectacular views of the mountains. Love it!
Beautiful casino resort - and love that it’s completely smoke-free throughout! We stayed nearby as the hotel rooms were pretty pricey for a last-minute weekend evening. We spent our money at the resort on food, drinks & slots. We had dinner at the SportsBook Bar and watched a college playoff game. The 3 of us had wings (delicious and perfectly cooked - loved the Whisky Black Pepper BBQ sauce); fried shrimp basket (huge golden delicious shrimp); and a Bison burger that was truly super tasty. We were thinking of dessert - they have original options that all sounded delish - but we were so full! It was busy with the crowd for the game but the servers were bustling and doing well. Slots were a good mix of all types of games - we played for a long time and still ended up with a little extra in our pockets. We will definitely come back here. Beautiful resort and it was really nicely decorated for the holidays. Good dance band in the lounge.
