I like this casino. particularly the Route 66 theme.  More so than most other casinos, the theme permeates the facility, even including the carpet, which looks like a blacktop road.  There are Route 66 signs and logos everywhere, inside and out.  The staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the action lively, with a large number of slot machines and table games.  The casino has a nice buffet,  a restaurant, and even a Route 66 gift store. A big downside (for us token collectors) is that all of the machines are TITO. But for the frugal gambler, there is a wide selection of penny slots.
I think this casino, right off the heavily traveled Interstate 40, will  definately thrive. If you are in the Albuquerque area, take  about an hour's drive west on I-40, and  visit the Route 66 Casino (and the Sky City Casino a few more miles down the road.) Also in the same area is the Dancing Eagle Casino. And don't forget the Casino Express, right next door to the Route 66 Casino.  By the way, the historic old Route 66 actually does pass through the area.  The casino is on the south side of I-40. Route 66 is on the north side.    But don't spend all of your time in the casinos.  In the same general area are several natural wonders and attractions - The El Malpai Lave beds, El Morro National Monument, Sky City, and breathtaking sandstone cliffs and mesas.  If you have the time and are adventuresome, about 100 miles away is the Bisti Badlands, a really eerie place, and  the Chaco Ruins. If you can, spend a couple of days in the area.  It will be well worth the effort!
