Roll the Dice on Albuquerque Casinos
Count the reasons gaming lovers should gamble on this city
Quick: When you think of Albuquerque, New Mexico, what comes to mind? Yes, Breaking Bad is right up there. And you might think about the colorful hot air balloons that take to the sky every October as part of the annual Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta. Or maybe you’re picturing the expansive, spectacular views of the Rio Grande Valley from the Sandia Peak Tramway.
While Albuquerque casinos aren’t likely one of the first things you think of, this city has a lot to offer when it comes to gaming and entertainment. There are several casinos in Albuquerque, so you can cash in without going too far. One’s even at a racetrack, meaning you can play the ponies and the tables.
Terri Cole, president and CEO of the Greater Albuquerque Chamber of Commerce, believes what sets this under-the-radar gaming destination apart is its ability to offer guests the best of two worlds.
“Visitors tell us there’s something spiritual about our city,” Cole says. “So when guests visit, they’re treated to world-class entertainment and dining, but they can also become immersed in the rich, centuries-old Native American culture so prevalent in our community. The diversity of our casinos offers something for everyone, whether that’s lights and sounds or peace and serenity. We’re a players’ paradise.” If you’re planning a gambling trip and would like to avoid the crowds in Las Vegas and Reno, why not roll the dice on Albuquerque casinos?
