Casino Reviews

The Inn of the Mountain Gods Casino & Hotel is located in one of the most beautiful settings that you can find. It is a bit long to get to it, along paved mountain roads, but when you do it is well worth the drive. Located on the shores of  a small lake this hotel and casino is one of New Mexico’s premier mountain resorts. It is an impeccable AAA Four-Diamond resort, offering mouthwatering cuisine for every palate, incredible  gaming action, and breathtaking alpine scenery to nurture your soul.  It is situated high in the picturesque mountains of Mescalero, New Mexico just outside of Ruidoso. Enjoy the clean mountain air, stunning panoramic views, and exciting entertainment options. You will also appreciate the stunning lobby featuring a sweeping view of the snow capped mountains, lake and championship golf course.

There are a variety of activities, entertainment and escapes to make it a getaway you’ll never forget. This hotel is located in a beautiful mountain setting with skiing, hunting and boating nearby. We have not been back to this location for some time, but will try to visit in the next couple of years. Many people enjoy this casino and hotel and the surrounding environment during all of the seasons of the year.

What We Did Not Like

There are no real complaints about the Beau Rivage hotel & casino. It is a 4 diamond resort.  The only thing we did not like is that it is a bit off the beaten path in the mountains of New Mexico, however many people would love the location and the mix of nature with a high class resort!

It is a 5 star hotel in our estimation and more than adequate for our needs.

Slot Player Card

They are part of the Inn of the Mountain Gods and Casino Apache Travel Center slot players card system. Slot members can take advantage of benefits at either of these two locations.

If you have not taken advantage of slot player cards, there are a number of benefits that many slot players should consider. Free or discounted rooms, email mailing list of promotions, free or discounted meals, access to entertainment, and a tax report outlining your losses and wins for tax claim purposes.

Parking

There is ample parking at the Inn of the Mountain Gods  hotel & casino in a large parking garage beside the hotel. There is no surface parking that we observed. You can access the hotel from the garage via an elevator from all levels. The parking garage is also patrolled on a regular basis and it also protects your car from the weather.
