Route 66 Casino

We have always wanted to stop at the Route 66 Casino located just west of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and we finally did on our last road trip through this part of the southern United States. The Route 66 casino is approximately 20 minutes west of the city. It is a great place to stop for the night if you are traveling,  need gas, or need a room, and it is a good place to sleep. This casino hotel is on Interstate I40 on the south side of the highway, about 10 miles west of Albuquerque.  We stayed there one night and will stay at this hotel again sometime when we are in the area.

This is an Indian run hotel and casino, so there is smoking allowed in the casino, however they do have well equipped non smoking rooms. We also ate breakfast at the restaurant in the morning. The meal was large, at a good price, and the service was excellent. One of the big advantages of staying at this particular hotel is that the Indians have decided not to charge state or federal tax, so the price you are quoted is the price you pay, and it was very reasonable. This was our first time staying at this hotel, so we paid the regular rate. Next time, we hope to pay less since we signed up for a slot card!

What We Liked

Variety of slot machines

Buffet ( they have a buffet, we did not eat there)

Hotel rates are very reasonable, no taxes on your room!

Easy access fromI40

A Safe environment in the casino, hotel, and parking areas

Great stopover point on your way past Albuquerque or points west or east

They also had cheap gas at the time we stopped there as well.

What We Did Not Like

There are no real complaints about the Route 66 hotel and casino other than the fact that they allow smoking in the casino, which most, if not all, casinos do in the US. Some casinos are just better with air circulation than others.

It is a 3.5-star hotel in our estimation and quite adequate for our needs

Slot Player Card

They have their own slot players’ card system, and when you sign up for the first time, you usually get a gift.

If you have not taken advantage of slot player cards, there are several 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 Route 66 Hotel & Casino, including a large garage in front of the hotel and a large surface parking lot for thousands of cars.

Directions: This casino hotel is on Interstate 40, on the south side of the highway, about 10 miles west of Albuquerque.
