I have been going 2 to 3 times a month since it opened. I'm not trying to knock the place too much, jus being truthful. Once in awhile you will see a well-dressed couple, but if you want a fancy night out, go to Sandia or Isleta. Most of the time, the staff tries to be nice and helpful. Servers are few and far between in the casino), great pizza, and good food and drinks in the bar.įor me, it's a little smokey, but I don't mind the surroundings at all. They have the newest, and some old machines, there are no tables, plenty of free drinks, (coffee, sodas, if you are willing to go pick them up yourself). The casino is just off of Albuquerque's main downtown street, so your neighbor at the machines might be a prostitute, or homeless person, begging for your money. It's nice to step into if you are hot from going to the fair, races, flea market, or strolling Central. Tables and dealers were nice but we didn’t have fun and won’t be back.The Downs is not a high-class, fancy place. Slot payouts were terrible compared to others we have been to.

If you want mixed drinks or beer you can only buy it at the bar and drink it at the bar as there’s no alcohol on the floor. So, with the casino closing the front parking where I only take up one space would have been empty!!! Hmmm.īy the time we got to the casino all of the restaurants were closed except for two grills with limited menus and if you want a cup of water that’s extra. You have to take a shuttle to the casino since the parking lot is so far away. We pulled in at 8 PM and paid the fee only to find out at 11:30 the casino closes at midnight. Apparently we were the only ones that would pay the fee as we were the only one there. The so-called RV parking is nothing more than a parking lot located in the back of the building with no security or hook ups (usually have hook ups with paying a fee at other casinos). We understood this casino required permit parking for $40 per night in their RV park. We drive a travel van and usually park in casino parking lots with the blessing of security.
