New Rule: 10 Post Minimum

[straightb]

Hi Blase - I am in the city, on the north side. I think you had some phenomenal wins at Four Winds a little while ago (or maybe I'm thinking of someone else?). Never won a lot there but love the machine variety and the hotel rooms. I don't know why, but I can play for hours and never win anything until about midnight.

I know I am late in doing so, but I wanted to give you my condolences on the passing of your Mother. I could tell from your posts that she was a beautiful and special woman.

How was the host's birthday party at Majestic Star? It's been years since we've been there.

Count both me and curlyd as FW fans at least at New Buffalo. We're in the South Sunurbs,so closer than you or Blase

I have been an infrequent poster but pretty regular reader, so I think this is a good idea! I'm in NM, I'm not sure if anyone else is here but I'm happy to answer questions if anyone ever ends up in this neck of the desert!

New Mexico is on my bucket list. Every picture I have seen of the state has been beautiful. Have friends that live in Sante Fe, so will make it one day. Every time I fly west the dang pilot lands in Vegas for some reason.

Thanks for posting, Cynthia!

So I just came across this, was too busy this past weekend planting flowers! All I can say is post away! I was a lurker at first then got up the nerve to do a trip report, and the rest is history! Of course I started on another forum with my first post, but followed the fun crowd over here! I even got to meet my first two jokers in Vegas in April! Hi Zeus and Pat!

Hi Cynthia! I'm in Colorado, but DH and I may be heading to Taos for a mini vacation later this summer. Are there any casinos around that area? Or, is Albuquerque the closest? When we went to AZ, we weren't big fans of the casinos in that area. Especially the fact that most were $.02 machines. Is it like that in New Mexico too? Thanks for the info!

Am not Cynthia, but am sort of a NM slot junkie lol. There are NA casinos on every Pueblo you drive through - all Class III machines, all have free self serve soft drinks and immaculate restrooms and yes, I have donated to just about every one of them HHH..Right outside the Taos Pueblo is Taos Mountain casino, a tiny little thing in a prefab building but a nice snack bar! As you head south towards Santa Fe there is the Ohkay Owingeh Pueblo casino, one of my favorites, then keep heading toward Santa Fe and you'll be at Buffalo Thunder Golf Resort and Casino managed by Hilton - it's really an impressive property, could go on and on but won't bore you right off the bat lol- will try to dig up some pics from last fall though - welcome to the Jokers!

Welcome to the forum! Am not there now but will be staying in Chimayo the last week of October, God willing. We missed going this spring the first time in 10 years and not happy about it lol.. Are you north or south??

Thanks everyone! Moemoe is correct, Taos only has a small casino but it's non-smoking, so there's that. If you drive another hour or so south, you'll get to Espanola, where you'll find a couple more casinos and then heading further south toward Santa Fe, you'll find 3 more casinos, the best of which is Buffalo Thunder. That's a beautiful property with a Hilton hotel, a great fine dining restaurant and a large casino with a wide range of slots. Plus, a golf course!

NM casinos have huge amounts of penny machines, Stephanie. You'll find a small amount of dollar machines but hardly any $.02, $.05, or even quarter machines.

Most casinos have tables games. Because they are all NA casinos, there is no alcohol on the gaming floors, although most casinos do have a bar but you cannot take drinks out of the bar. You can have all the soft drinks you'd like, however!

I'm in Albuquerque, which has the largest casinos since it's the population center for the state. I've got 4 fairly large casinos within a 20 minute drive of my home, which, as we all know, can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending on the slot gods! . They're all good about offering decent free play, food offers, and free room offers.

Chimayo in the fall is gorgeous, northern NM is definitely the prettiest part of my state!

I like New Mexico and have visited the ABQ area. I've played at Isleta and Sandia. I planned to go back after retiring but haven't made it due to going to Las Vegas. Welcome @Cyntiap

Thx Cynthia and Moemoe for the helpful info! I hope to get to explore them all later in the summer.

I went on the coworker cruise in January and that threw all my vacation days and dollars out of whack, not to mention the resulting medical bills after the cruise, but I'd do it again in a heartbeat HHH - the two loves of my travel life now New Mexico, any part of it, and Barbados - dang I need to win a few massive hand pays HHH
