After a night of rest, tossing and turning, but not much actual sleep, I hit the road, I-40, at about 9:30 in the morning. It's gonna be a long day. 4 casinos to stop at. 233 miles to Albuquerque, 3 1/2 hours driving time without stops. And I have to get to the ABQ in time to drive all over the city on the Breaking Bad tour. 5 casino stops if you include Isleta at the end of the Breaking Bad tour.
Fire Rock Casino
Nice enough inside, doesn't look like much from the outside.
Definitely more of a working guys casino as I've never seen so many mud caked pick-up trucks in one place before. Mine fit right in :-)
Ladies at the rewards counter said they had a new rack of chips. Didn't look too new but I kept more than I should have to sell on eBay.(All sold here on the board, but for 1 $5chip.) They also gave me a couple of bottles of water when they saw me having trouble at the drinking fountain in my Mobility Scooter.
BJ table was $3! Not Bad! I walked out with no cash from my $50 buy in, just chips, after loosing 3 hands and a couple of side bets.
Bought a pair of dice in the gift shop for $1,and broke down and bought a T-shirt too. They actually had one in size Elephant-Giraffe (3XLT) on clearance for $13.95. Cheap? Well, not when I pay $2-3 for nice shirts at Goodwill, but for a casino gift shop, Wow!
