Route 66 Casino

Another one with no notes to work from. Sheesh!

I really liked this place, the Route 66 theme decor was pleasing and well executed. I took several pictures of things inside the casino and not a one of them came out worth a damn. My hands are not so steady. Trying to get a quick snap to be less obvious so security guards wouldn't accost me, didn't gain me much of anything. I'll post one so you can see the extent of the problem.

Bought a T-shirt and 2 dice (not a pair) in the gift shop, and I think this is the place where I bought a New Mexico State Lottery ticket. Now that's something I can't do in Las Vegas, buy a Lottery ticket in a Casino gift shop! Can't find the ticket either, so I don't know if I won enough to pay for my vacation or not

And the Arrows in the Parking lot...Just how big were the Buffalo they were hunting?

Onward to ABQ, quickly check in at the motel and back out to dive around town. I didn't want to go as late with it as I had in Phoenix, I really wanted to be in bed befoe midnight. After Driving around Albuquerque all day doing my Breaking Bad Sightseeing, I ended up at:

Isleta Casino

I actually, for a change, won some money! Slot club sign up game gave me $25 in free play, found an old Double Diamond 25 cent machine that only took 2 quarters per pull. After running through the 100 free play quarters, I Cashed out with $24.50, Not too shabby.

Went to a $5 craps table, was next to shoot, but they passed me for shooter as I'd just got up to the table. Not Happy... but often when a casino pulls that kind of move on me they end up loosing to me in the end.

So the guy shoots 3 Yo-levs in a row, he won some sort of jackpot thingy for $1200 bucks or something like that. He then proceeded to make several points. I left the table up $15, after the chips I kept, a lot better than I've been doing. So I got my chips for free, finally, and was a few up in cash too. 'Bout time!

The casino's nice.. I went in from sorta the backside of it, where the Spa is, and man you can get lost doing that. I'd try to find the front door next time.

I made it back to the motel at 10pm, Whoo-Hoo. Better than midnight, but still it was another 12+ hour day out on the road. Lot more casinos to get to tomorrow

I'm not any art or photography student, but I really like this shot of the hotel atrium at night. Shapes, Shadows, Muted Color...
