Black Mesa Casino and Travel Center

As of my visit 8/17/24 - $25 night 30/50 amp electric at site - central dump / water (no water at site) - friendly check in at promotions desk in casino. Big, long gravel sites mostly level. Some long term / seasonal ‘residents’ with patios and ‘gardens’ so if you want a longer stay it’s possible. About 5,000 feet so not as high as Santa Fe. Slots only casino, not too much smoke, check in lady recommends truck stop as best restaurant. Easy access Albuquerque or Santa Fe. Good tv antenna stations and one bar LTE t-mobile connection.

We had not been here for several months and the listings say the Campground electricity costs $20 in September and October, with $10 otherwise. We got here yesterday, August 26, and were charged $20. We are parked in site B6, along with some dried out horse droppings. This 'wonderful' campground is almost level, with locked electrical boxes only, at every site. "Drinking" water is available at the 2 dump stations. There is also a dumpster at one of the dump stations. The slot machines in the casino have mostly gone to penny games, with a few of the older popular ones. There are five poker machines left. The buffet room looks active, but we have not been there for over a year. It was acceptable the last time we ate there. The snack bar is shut down for modifications.
