Dancing Eagle Casino and RV Park

The RV park is very small. Only 4 pull through spaces. Still a bargain at $10.00 plus tax. I travel by myself, and felt very safe there. The casino was nice as well. I signed up for the casino card and got $5.00 for play, and a $5.00 coupon off gas.

Price has gone up a bit since our last stop. Per day fee is now $11.36, still a bargain for full hook-up. We did notice security going around to each site, first time we have seen anyone checking campers. Rick

The other reviews of this part pretty well covers it so this is just a confirmation those reviews are still valid. The price is more like $10.75 since they now have to charge tax, still a bargain for full hook-up, wi-fi included. The grounds can get a little messy if it rains and we have been "lucky" enough to experience rain in New Mexico. We stay there (both directions) when visiting Las Vegas from our home in Kansas. On the last trip west booked two nights thinking we needed a rest day, however, high winds stretched the stay into three days. Food choices are limited, need a little more variety for three days stay. ;-) Rick and Lucky Lucy

Stopped there for one nite in Sept 2015 Rates have gone up to $10.70 due to a "bed" tax Still a good price for full hookups and a short walk to the casino. Food in dining room is good at a reasonable price Laundry room had new machines which were spotless and ONLY $1.00 to wash and $1.00 to dry for 45 minutes

We were going to stop at a nearby WalMart for the night but when we saw a billboard advertising full hookup's for $10, we signed onto Casino Camper to check the reviews. It as easy to find, the electric was good. We didn't hook-up the water or sewer because the forecast called for a low of 25 that night. The gentleman at registration as very efficient and helpful. The pull-through sites were close but perfectly acceptable for a quick one night stop. We also had dinner at the Casino restaurant. Both the service and the food was excellent.

This casino is always a whistle stop for an inexpensive and comfortable overnight. $10 gets you a full hookup PLUS WIFI and a casino spiff. Last time I got a pretty nice red hot chili pepper keychain. Their billboards are out of date and there is no more free fuel. RV Parking on packed dirt, level at perimeter backins and slight slope at pull thrus in center. Good amenities; high water pressure, all mounted on cement island. They even have a gated area for pets and pet trash can. There appears to be onsite host that keeps the parking area tidy. Lighted, gated entry from RV parking to casino with short walk. Casino smoky and stinky, live music on weekends. The snack bar serves a good burger. Casino parking area is tight and unsuitable for big rigs. Slots ho hum. One of the good things about this location is the full grocery store, hardware store and post office within easy walking distance of RV parking area. I needed to make repair to RV and this location was quite convenient for getting needed hardware supplies and last minute grocery items. This is WAY less expensive than the next casino west which was recently completely renovatd.

We missed this casino because we set our GPS to Casa Blanca, NM. Heading east there is no sign directing you to the casino. The casino is south of RT40, Casa Blanca is north. Heading east turn right at the exit. (Editor's note: From I-40 the casino is South at exit 108.)

They are no longer doing the $ 10.00 gas voucher for out of state, camping is still $10.00 and have added sewer to sites. the cafe is closed for remodel, buffet is served in the meeting room, food was below average (never seen Beef Stroganoff over rice).

Report from C. Randle, August 9, 2010 We too saw the highway signs for $10 free gas and $10 full hookups. We stayed in the full hookup lot although others were boondocking for free. When we paid our $10 to hook up we were given 2 for 1 coupons for the restaurant so it was pretty much free parking. We were only given one gas coupon when we signed up but after talking to another couple we went back and got the second. We told them we each had a vehicle (motorhome and tow car). The gas coupons are only good for 24 hours so if you stay two nights you might loose them. The restaurant had a very limited menu but it was good food. The paid parking area is quite small with an awkward exit, requiring a very sharp left turn to get out. We had to make an extra circuit to approach the gate at a different angle to make the turn and we are only 31 feet plus our toad.

Report from James M., May 18, 2010 Stopped here after we saw a sign for $10.00 free gas with out of state drivers license and 1st time club card member. We both signed up for the club card and each got a $10.00 certificate to take across the street to their travel center. Gas was $2.79/gal. They accepted both certificates on the same pump. Had to ask for the gas certificates at the club counter- she did not offer them when we signed up. Gave us each a coffee mug for joining. Asked security about overnight dry camping and they said "YES"- directed us to a gravel lot just east of the main door. No one else in the lot. Their RV park is a small enclosed cement parking lot with hook ups right next to the gravel lot where we were parked. Small casino with all the regular games and food.

-report from Nick & Terry Russell, May 1, 2009 Check out their web site www.gypsyjournal.net We have dry camped at the Dancing Eagle Casino on I-40 in New Mexico twice. Both times security directed us to the large parking area between the regular car parking lot and the highway, on the north side of the casino. Level, a little traffic noise, but not bad,

- report from Pat, October 25, 2008 We're at the Dancing Eagle Casino in New Mexico - located on I-40, exit 108. I've seen RV's in the parking lot, but the RV park is still $10.00 per night for w/e h/u's. (You have to get a Player's Club card to get the $10.00 rate, but the woman who checked us into the park took our word for it that we would get one and gave us the club rate without card in hand). The description of the park on the Casino Camper website listings is accurate. We haven't eaten at the restaurant yet, but the menu offers a nice variety of cuisines. There's also a decent-sized grocery store just behind the RV park. There's lots of slots; I only found one small bank of multi-game nickel VP. When I joined the slot club, I received a free gift of a T-shirt. All of the personnel we've interacted with have been extremely pleasant and helpful.

- report from FastEagle, April 2008 We stayed at the Dancing Eagle Casino RV Park in April, 2008. Not much to add to the previous review. The RV park is completely fenced in making it a very secure place to stay. There is a well lit walkway to the casino. In fact everything there is just a short walk from the RV Park. We did not have a reservation but called on the cell about three hours out and requested a pull thru and when we got there a cone was marking the site location they had given us on the phone. There are no frills, but it is a nice safe place to park for a night or a few days and the price is right ($10.00). The water pressure was very good and all power selections from 15-50 amps were available on each site. The casino was smallish and filled with smoke. No Video Poker but loads of penny slots of all kinds.

- report from readers Pat & Tom, September 2006 I have stayed at the Dancing Eagle Casino RV park a few times since September 2004, last in May 2006. It is definitely not a fancy park, but for $10.00 for water and electric plus free dump; I don't expect a lot. Some sites are level, but there is a slight general slope to the site. For pet owners there is a nice fenced dog run. It is convenient to I-40, but not so close that the noise is a problem. At least not at the time of year I've been there with the AC running. The Casino is small, mostly slots that I saw. The restaurant is not fancy, but reasonable good food. Showers are available at the associated truck stop across the road. The times I have been there, have also been RVs parked overnight in the general parking lot.

I stayed here three nights. Purpose of staying here was to visit the Acoma Pueblo (Sky City). It is a gravel lot with water and electric hookups. There are 6 dedicated pull through spaces and the others are back-in up to a wall. Propane and dump station available if you need it. Spaces are close and laundromat closed. Recommend arriving early if you have a big rig. The physical location is the south east corner of the intersection and the correct coordinates are 35.031300°, -107.475288° (both by Google Earth and Garmin GPS) Dry camping is allowed in the main parking lot. Cannot comment on the casino nor the restaurant, I was told the former was smoky and I stay away from smoke. The latter was reported to be good be it was too far for me to walk. You can get a $10 credit on the camping fees if you register for the Player's Club. They also of a $10 gasoline credit. I would stay here again. I drive a 40' DP and tow.
