Black Mesa Casino and Travel Center

-report from Wendy L., August 23, 2008

Update on what's posted for Casino Hollywood in San Felipe, New Mexico, (between Albuquerque and Santa Fe). We stayed there last night. It's a gravel lot with electric hookups only (electric boxes are locked). Big sites that will hold just about any size rig. There are two dump stations with water available. The cost is $10 for 24 hours.

When you go in the casino to pay for the RV site, stop at the front booth and sign up for their frequent players club and they'll give you $5 cash. 2 people each signing up gets you $10 cash which makes the campsite free. And if you get $30 gas at their travel center, you get another $5 cash at the casino. We stopped in again in the morning before leaving and they gave us each another $5 cash and coupons for their buffet for $2.50!

We spent the nite at the above casino on August 30,2007. It is a few miles north of Albuquerque, NM, I25, exit 252 east. There is a truck stop and small casino. (There's also a race track with sprint car racing advertised-I don't know what happens to the RV parking when there is a race as the RV parking is very near the race venue.)

For RV parking, there are about 40 curb/island spaces, each with electric available. The electric is $10 for 24 hours. Electric posts are locked and keys available from security. You are invited to park in the same spaces for free if you don't want electric. There are 2 curb/islands that each have RV dumps and water, and also a huge dumpster. All is well laid out, very easy access, reasonably level, and far enough from the truck stop and highway to be rather quiet.

We don't gamble, so can't report on that. There is a lunch and a dinner buffet, but we don't do buffets, so can't report on that either. There is a restaurant in the truck stop with Mexican/American Indian menu that looks interesting, and they have a breakfast special.

San Felipe-Hollywood Casino, New Mexico I-25 approx. 20 miles north of Albuquerque Exit 252

Small Casino between Albuquerque and Santa Fe New Mexico. Convenience Store with Fuel. There is a sign stating “RV’s welcome- electric available”. The lot for RV's is huge and is configured to allow pull through parking and has many electric hookups available. There are many water faucets . Could not confirm if there is RV dumping. There were only 4 RV's overnighting when we visited. There was nothing to indicate that any fee was expected.
