I did not stay at the hotel, but I did play in the casino.
Like most indian casinos, the slots were really tight. Didn't win once.
Video poker was poor.
The craps was pretty good. 3X-4X-5X odds and the dealers were very personable.
Blackjack rules were tight as far as I'm concerned, but I don't like 6 deck games and I especially don't like CSM's. That being said, I lost like $500 playing blackjack alone. But, I know someone who won $3500 playing BJ so it's just how lucky you are.
STAY AWAY FROM THE MISSISSIPPI STUD! It eats your money.
I didn't get to play poker there, but I went to play their Sunday tournament they had on their website. However, they told me when I got there that they no longer offered the Sunday tournament. Well they need to tell whoever runs the website that!
After losing all that money I did receive a free slot tournament in the mail.
Overall, it's a good casino, just stay away from the machines and any table game that is not ubiquitous in Vegas.
Table games and Amenities or Hotel are rated 1's because did not use.
I love this casino. Have gone many times and will drive out of my way to go there. I always joke that the reason I go is the art which is outstanding and the food, but the slots are a lot of fun too. I have won and broke even many times.
Highly recommend a visit even if you do not gamble.
Staff are friendly and outgoing. Very interesting to talk too.
The view and beauty of the grounds is incredible. I could sit in the lobby of the casino, looking out at Sierra Blanca for hours.
Have the best Bread Pudding with sauce I have ever had and this is my favorite dessert so I know a good one when I taste it.
Go, you will enjoy.
We stayed for 6 nights and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The grounds are gorgeous. The casino was bustling. The rooms were VERY nice. The staff was exceptional. We are looking forward to our next visit!!!
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).
