AZ NM Trip: Black Mesa, Tesuque, Camel Rock, Bonus

Black Mesa Casino (San Felipe)

No table games, just a slot house. A lot smaller than the other casinos. along the road, mostly it's a gas stop.
Originally I thought the casino was in the gas station, there was a casino sign there, probably have a few sot machine in there but I didn't go in to check it out. But then saw the main building up on the other end of the parking lot.
Got $10 free play in for the slot club sign up. Took it to another old Vid Poker machine as they've been being good to me on getting cash out of the free play. Turned the $10 in Free play into $12.50 in actual cash out. So with no chips to collect I actually left a casino money ahead. Bout time.

Tesuque Casino

The Tesuque's were very good to me. $10 free slot play. Ran it up to $10 in cash on a Vid Pkr machine yet again. Only 2 tables open in the pit, 1 BJ and one Roulette. I'm not much on Roulette since the 10 cent table at the Nevada Palace closed. BJ was a $15 minimum. Yikes! In order to get enough chips I bought in for $100, I've never done that in my life. Single Deck BJ game, kinda a rare bird to find. The dealer had this habit of busting their hand grin, so I played a few hands. I actually hit a couple of the sucker side bets. Walked from the table with $75 cash in addition to the too many chips I kept.
Nice enough new casino. Lovely wall of windows looking out to the desert. Maybe the Las Vegas Casinos will catch on to the idea of putting a few windows in their new casinos. We do still gamble...
Silly enough, I liked the pattern and colors in Tesuque's carpet, kinda said painted desert to me. Or my mind is just going from too many casinos and too many days on the road. grin [Note: in the stacked chip scans, they are not warped, my had moved holding them during scanning.]

Camel Rock No longer a casino
Closed when Tesuque opened. A short detour off/on the Highway. Couldn't get close to it to get any really good pics. They've let the place go to seed awfully quickly.

Bouns Pic: Nambe Falls Casino. Didn't even know I had captured this pic until I went through footage from my DashCam looking for some other shots.

Found this sign along the freeway. There just seems to be something inherently incorrect about it grin
