My Colorado Trip: Northern Edge Casino New Mexico

Hi

We last left our hero in New Mexico, a strange place to stay after having been in Colorado, for the start of a Colorado Trip, but if you want to go to the 2 Indian Casinos in Colorado, you can't skip out on a side trip to the Northern Edge Navajo Casino in Fruitland (Farmington) New Mexico. If you ever do a New Mexico Casino Loop, this place would be really out of your way. Also, Farmington is a Whole Lot cheaper than staying in the casino hotels!

Northern Edge. Very nice, like the Vegas Strip, but with reasonable table minimums. Friday night: $10 pai Gow + $1 on the fortune bet if you like. Real Pai Pow. Comissions, no funny BS like the CA indian tribes like to pull. Lost about $15 while harvesting my chips.
Scored a 4th Anniversary chip at the table, as well as another chip to send in to the Chipguide.
Good burger in the food court, for $5.25. Problem was the fries that came with it were COLD. It would have been a very nice casino trip if only the cooks had paid some attention to just how long the fries had been sitting. It's silly, but they, well not ruined, but lessened my experience of their casino - for 10 cents worth of potatoes!

When I signed up for the Players Club, the nice lady handed me the card and said. "You're now a Cougar!" "Really? Do you send a Young Man to my room if I earn 1000 points or something?" It was a nice laugh foer both us vbg
