Nice modern Tesuque Casino in Santa Fe. Love the open floor plans with huge glass windows to enjoy the mountain scenery while gambling or just hanging out on the bar for a drink. Good location and accessible from downtown, the Santa Fe Opera House is next door. They have a roaming cart parking attendant throughout to help you lift from your car to the casino main door. Only issue is too much smoking on the floor and wish the non-smoking area is bigger.

The view here worth the trip! It was amazing! This is a new casino in the area. Not too big you could get lost in but big enough to find something youd like to play. The food was amazing I was mad I didnt get a pic of the pork belly but its a must get. I had the sea bass and it was amazing. Go give it a try but make sure you look through the huge windows in the front out to the mountains.

This place was awesome! It was a good night... I still have to work but left with more than i arrived with! I kept hitting bonuses, free spin and small jackpots most of the night! (you know that feelingbut have limits). I started sinking wishing I had the money I arrived with (you know that feeling too!-wishing I could buy a sandwich... it came down to my last two dollars!and then.. WHAT!?!?! TIME TO GO!!!

Just a quick stop while passing by to view. Appears rather new. Was kinda small but cute. Not overly impressive in comparison to most casinos but pretty sure thatll change in time as profits earn.

First casino visit since I moved to New Mexico. Very clean, air as well, food and staff were great! I did leave $105.00 more than I had gone with . I also got some sweet shades for joing the players club + $10 free play.

Too many bells and whistles for my liking! Staff were very attentive and gregarious though. The views out the large windows were spectacular. Food was nicely done and above average portions. We lucked out timing wise because it was happy hour. Would have been typical Santa Fe expensive otherwise.

Its a brand new Casino. The building is nice. Everything is new. The gift shop is tiny. Theres a place to get something to eat but nobody likes it. Its called Grab & Go or something like that. Instead of getting a Hamburger when you reach 40 points on your card you get a Hot Dog and a bag of chips. They have 3 tall tables to stand by but no chairs to sit on. Its kind of ridiculous. Everyone was complaining about it. Also its right next to the restrooms. I believe its a bad design. The staff is professional & courteous. The staff is great! Very Helpful!

If I could leave zero I would. After spending big bucks on a dinner for a large party, we went up to the bar. We were then greeted by Robert. He was one of the rudest Bar Tenders we’ve ever encountered. He literally went down the line of insulting or jabbing at people spending money at the over done, over priced bar. It was actually Impressive how Robert seemed he went out of his way to insult patrons. Never again.

Review №21

They need to have a better coffee set up with real choices of flavored and regular creamers not powder cream. Also their Frito pie and steam tables need to have the right temperature to keep the food served hot. Warm food is not ok. The staff and security are very nice and helpful. But the new Casino needs to put up a new Billboard before the exit to let new customers know where to exit!! Also to be competitive they need to bring back a weekly earn 3 or 5 times points! Have fun...

BEWARE-unrevealed restaurant tip - More clarity pleaseWe recently stopped by to have the Prime Rib dinner with family. We had a great prime rib promotion, so we went for it. We had 6 people in our group and were told there would be an automatic 18% tip added to our bill, which we totally understood since that is typical of most restaurants. What they DIDNT tell us was that it would be on the full price of Prime rib dinners even though we had the discounted promotion. This was explained to us after we received the bill of $59 and saw the jaw dropping $35 tip which is about 60% HOLY COW! Were happy to leave a minimum of 18% for good service but this visit was mediocre, slow drink service and had to ask other wait staff to bring condiments. We questioned the waitress and she said thats how the restaurant calculates on the promotions and that she would have to give the casino $20 of that tip.Lesson learned, fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame of me. Seems the casino will make up their discounts one way or another.We will visit again, but will be more aware. So I say, go have the prime rib because it is a good deal just remember to break up your large parties into 5 or less so you dont get shocked with the tip on your bill.

First time here, happened to stop by right at social hour, which is 4 to 6 pm and I believe later from 11 to 1 am. Any drink/food is half off at the bar/restaurant. The place is kind of small, but its really nice inside, looks like a new casino...really clean. The casino had a non-smoking section, but in reality you could not tell the difference from the smoking section, they have some really good ventilation system in place. Also first time player sign up gives you half off the prime rib (normally $32), besides the normal free play you win.

Review №27

The bar tender named Robert who started our tab was so rude to us and completely stopped serving us and refused to talk to us over a miss understanding over drinks being allowed in the casino area. We are not from here and didnt know the rules. The security by the bar apologized for his rude behavior and the other servers finished our service, so unprofessional to treat a paying customer like that.

Review №28

Beautiful newer casino! The location is convenient and accessible.It does feel rather strange that there are usually 2-5 tribal police cars directly out front. Some of my guests has asked me if there is a crime or an emergency occurring when we pull up. I understand the need of police presence to an extend.But I think they should consider having the collection of law enforcement officers park elsewhere. It makes you feel as if they are watching the customers and just waiting for something to happen or to follow people to give out tickets.Lastly, i would say that about 1/3 of the casino employees are not very friendly. The business would be well served with more smiles and more enthusiasm. Nobody wants to spend money on a luxury such as gaming only to have a few employees act is if doing their job is an inconvenience.

We live in Albuquerque. We stopped here at Tesuque passing through to Lake City, CO. The fairly new casino is beautiful. Big windows to welcome in the sunlight. We only got to stay for about an hour but we managed to win. Coming out of any casino ahead is very good. Next time, well plan a visit to take in dinner and more time to play the slots. BTW, staff very kind and nice.

They cater to Latinos on the machines and only they win. I lost several hundred dollars in an area where Latinos playing next to me were winning all evening. I got broke on a machine and a Latino sat down right where I was setting and he won immediately. I didnt see any Native Americans win all night long only a few White people and almost all the Spanish speaking win all the time.At first I thought this was a good casino, but they have proven to be a dishonest casino location. And I went there every month and received no free play for this new year.

Stopped to play a little bit during a rode trip. They have lots of slots, a few table games, and roulette. The place was clean the staff was nice. It was a really enjoyable time. They do have a restaurant here, Im sorry I didnt try it, but the food smelled delicious. Next time Im passing through Santa Fe I will be eating here.

The place looked great from the outside. The customer service was horrible- from the hostess not knowing basic info to the rude bartender to the rude waitress in the lounge area.. For some reason i got the impression that it is illegal for people to smile and be nice.. my family and I had the steak meal and it was great.. it almost made up for horrible personalities at this place. I dont think I will bring any more family or friends to this place ever again.. I didnt stick around for any gambling because I just wanted to leave and not deal with the grumpy staff.. I suggest just keep driving and find another place to gamble and eat.

We truly enjoyed the casino, its a small one compared to what we are used to in Oklahoma, but, the payouts were very good !! And a few of them were mine, I have always wondered what it felt like to be treated like a VIP in casinos, and I found out the 2nd night we played, Alex, Randy & Jonathan thank you for making this Texan feel like a VIP, and we still have a few days left here, we are going back again. The restaurant food and staff were amazing, weve ordered the Meat Candy both times we were there its awesome, so is the Adult Macaroni & Cheese w/pork belly is awesome too, the 2 employees I met while doing a transaction at the cashiers cage Mike & Janet were very nice and helpful, they also had HOT SEAT DRAWINGS every hour the times we were there, I didnt get picked, but thats OK cause so far Ive won a jackpot, and several mini jackpots, I wont say on what machines until I post about my last few days there lol and were on our way home to Texas, dont pass up this Gem of a casino when youre in SANTA FE, NM

Beautiful brand new casino with water dripping through the roof of the bathrooms. Former Casino Camel Rock honored $7.77 for prime rib for everyone. This one all depends on your points and it could go as high as $34 for the same prime rib. Tiny no smoking room. Casino itself is very smokey

Very modern Casino.Lots of slot machines however the only had six table games but the blackjack tables started just $5 and go up to $15 minimums so you can have a really good time without breaking the bank.Theres a nice restaurant with a lounge we can sit and have a good cocktail after your winnings and enjoy live music during happy hour which gives you 50% off all drinks.

Called and asked if i could bring my dog. Thay told me yes. Went there walked everywhere and ate at restaurant. Than this lady that worked there told me i had to leave. No dogs are allowed, so i told her what they told me over phone and that i have been here for 2 hours and know one said anything. She laughed at me and said they have signs but i could not find any. If the workers cant follow rules together, than they dont have good management

Attended the Grand Opening last night. We are definitely not gamblers, however enjoy the edible delights when we do go. We were very please with the menu as well as the wine list. The Chef came over to see how the dishes were, which gave it that extra touch, something most places fail to do. We are very happy, my husband and I scheduled this event and will definitely frequent more.

This is a casino with double deck blackjack and pays 3-2 for blackjacks (very good), but pay attention to the dealers! Slots didn’t pay very good and not very often (for me) and I did not hear any “bells”for anyone else. Smoke is a problem for non-smokers. I went on a Tuesday.

Unfortunately I never went there. I was visiting Santa Fe for a week and heard about the casino. I went to their website to sign up for the Players Club. I filled out the form and a message popped up thanking me and told me I would get an email from them shortly. 5 days later, I still have NOT heard from them. I take that as a clue, that it is not worth my time. Apparently, they lack the professionalism to conduct a real business.

Very nice casino. This was my first time, and I won some good money off th quarter machine. We ate here, a bit pricey, but it was good. Might I reccomend next time, that their cooks do wear gloves and also th person who does their expediting. Not 1 single time did I see them wash their hands or use gloves. Overall, it was a good experience.

If I could give this zero stars, I sure would. The smell of cigarettes in the casino was overwhelming! What is wrong with the ventilation? The ambiance at the restaurant is not great, we felt like we were in a cafeteria. We were seated at 5:35 (on a Sunday), the server finally took our order at 5:45, our drinks took over 10 minutes. We saw people seated and served before we even got our food! Finally at 6:30 we asked for a manager. About that time, our food finally arrived. The manager gave a very weak excuse for the delay. The food was mediocre except for the harvest salad, which was delicious. They ended up taking ONE meal off the bill and offered free dessert which we didn’t want. We won’t return.

Review №91

This is a good casino. The location is nice only casino to have windows to look outside. The lay out is somewhat small. Theres good amount of machines but its all just in an open space. No real design inside the casino itself such as art or anything to make it feel special inside. Didnt know the dining area was behind the bar, would have never saw it if I didnt go have a drink. But over all the place is cleaner than Buffalo Thunder, looks and feels clean, good ventilation, and good spaces in-between aisles.The customer service is a hit and miss times Ive been here. Players club reps always look so miserable to help you. No smiling, mono toned, and dont promote their promotions. Its like having to force them to give you information of whats going on for the day such as drawings or coming events. Didnt get one hi or smile while playing on casino floor. Not by one attendant, tech, supervisor, or greeting gestures.Had one drink at bar was an older lady with glasses that served us. She seemed miserable at first and like she didnt want to be there. Had to ask her to clean the area where we were sitting and was some what rude when my friend needed help about a wine she liked.Other than that its a place to play some slots. Maybe youlll have a good experience?

Review №92

Most staff are rude and the casino security are even worse. They act like you are inconveniencing them by simply playing your machine and minding your own business. Its a very weird and uncomfortable feeling to have someone just doing circles around you, staring at you and giving you dirty looks. When asked what the problem was, the one guy said, I was watching TV. Well, Im not a tv and the tv on the wall is hung at least 15 - 20 feet high so how he was watching TV with both eyes fixed on me is beyond me. Plus if he has time to stand and watch tv while working, then maybe they are over staffed and need to consider cutting back on labor and give more wins.

The catch for getting $10 free play is to say No I dont have a rewards card meaning to Camel Rock Casino..The securities are rude! Tesuque being a new casino have to realize their guess are exploring their new casino/ slot and let their security know to easy up on members instead of harassing them and accusing them of looking for slots left unattended I will not be going back at all!

The service at the bar was good, Johnny was very nice. Everything went down hill from there when I accidentally transferred my money to my players card and couldn’t figure out what happened and I waited over 20 minutes for a casino employee to assist me., I had pushed all the service buttons around my machine but no one arrived. I even called the casino on the phone while I was waiting to try to get them to send someone over to me. It was my fault because I transferred my cash to my players card but I’ve never heard of that and they didn’t explain things very well at the Player Card Area. It was just extremely frustrating and the whole experience made me want to just leave. Pretty casino but I wish they had more staff to assist you when you need it.

First time checking out the casino. Everything is very nice. I was expecting the food to be just as good. Unfortunately I did not have a good experience here at the restaurant. We waited sometime to get greeted and offered water. The server was not attentive, did not bother bringing me condiments for my food and then we got our food before our drinks came out. Drinks were not great either! There seems to be management tending the floor but did not tend to us nor our empty plates that were sitting there. My burger and friends fish was not tasty at all. Tables next to us, there was 3 people that cleaned 1 table and the table and seat were left with crumbs from previous guests. I understand that it is opening weekend but this was not a satisfactory eating experience at all.

Their address on Google Maps was messed up for us, but once we got there, Cottonwood Kitchen was delicious! Wait staff was really nice and helpful, and the BBQ ribs were very good. Ambiance at the restaurant was great. Other than that, no comment on the casino. I think gambling is ridiculous, but if thats your speed have at it ;)
