Camel Rock Resort and Casino is  located in the Sangre De Cristo Mountains,  a few minutes up the road from Cities of Gold Casino. The  facility, although older than many of the other casinos, is  one of the more attractive.  The casino has the usual mix of table games and slot machines.  My last visit there, I discovered a quarter roulette machine.  My wife knew where to find me after that discovery!  Camel Rock also has the rare distinction  (along with Isleta) of having several Silver Strike machines. The last time I was there, I didn't see them. Hopefully, the machines were just relocated.   Across the road from the casino is the “Camel Rock” rock.  Rather an interesting formation.   From most angles, the rocks do look like a camel. However, I've often wondered  if  camels roamed through the area. During the 1800s. the Army imported camels into the Arizona deserts, but soon abandoned the experiment and the camels. Maybe some wandered into New Mexico.  Camel Rock is  definitely a fun casino.  Along with Cities of Gold, well worth a visit.
