I-40 in NM: exits 140 & 108
Two casinos -- owned and operated by Laguna Pueblo -- can be found next to the eastbound lanes of I-40 in western New Mexico.
Route 66 Casino and Travel Center - at exit 140 - is noted for cheap gas at the travel center on Funky Fridays.
This casino is aptly named as it sits directly on the edge of old Route 66 (the "Mother Road.") The casino carries the Route 66 theme throughout. Dining options include Johnny Rocket's 50's style diner and the Hungry Cowboy Buffet.
The complex is currently expanding, adding a hotel and entertainment venues. However, RVs who want to stay overnight will have to share the dry camping lot with dozens of trucks.
One of our favorite casino RV Parks is just west of Route 66 Casino...the Dancing Eagle on I-40 at exit 108.
We like this RV Park because 1) it's located next to the interstate with easy in and out, 2) it has pull-thru sites on level gravel and it's always clean, 3) the camping fee ($10 with a Players Card) is attractive, and 4) a laundry and small supermarket are nearby. Generally, we don't need much more in an RV Park when we're on the move.
The RV Park is just a few steps from the casino...it is somewhat smaller than the Route 66 Casino, but it's cozy and friendly and has a good variety of slots and video poker plus live action tables. I always feel safe walking back and forth between the casino and RV Park, even after dark.
