Santa Fe Casinos Expanding

In New Mexico, the 25 miles or so from Interstate-25's exit 282B north to Espanola will take you past all of the Santa Fe area's casinos.
CAMEL ROCK CASINO is about 13 miles north of I-25, next to the northbound lanes of US-84/285 (Camel Rock Road - exit 175.) At Camel Rock, RVers will find a convenient spot for free overnight parking.

CITIES OF GOLD CASINO is located another three miles north on US-84/285. Like Camel Rock, it's visible from the highway and offers a quiet place for RV overnight parking.

BIG ROCK CASINO BOWL is a few more miles to the north. Located in downtown Espanola in the Big Rock Shopping Center (recongnize it by the big rock out front), the casino was recently renovated and also has a new bowling alley. Parking is somewhat tight for RVs.

OHKAY CASINO is about 4 miles north of Espanola. Just follow Riverside Drive (Hwy-68) north out of Espanola. There is ample space for RV parking south of the casino building.

Casino-hopping along US-84/285 will get even more interesting next year when a new, spectacular casino resort -- Buffalo Thunder -- opens in Summer 2008. The new resort will include a large, modern Vegas-style casino, restaurants, hotel and golf course. It will be located just south of the Cities of Gold at Buffalo Thunder Rd.(exit 177.) And, there's good news for RVers...Buffalo Thunder will include an RV Park, currently under construction on the west side of US-84/285. Shuttle service will be provided to both Cities of Gold and Buffalo Thunder.
