Sandia is a beautiful facility. Love the view from the bar upstairs. I also have to give them credit for their ventilation. The banquet rooms don't smell like smoke even though they are contiguous with the casino. Very impressive.

We stayed in one of the suites and the room was outstanding. The view was amazing. The beds were comfy. The staff we're a little hard to deal with. We had to call a couple of times until we got someone helpful. Room service was expensive.

I love this place. Is clean but like all casinos the snippets l smoking is crazy. At times you win hard at times you get ruined. Play responsible and you'll have a good time with decent food. The only reason I have only 4 stars was the glasses for water we're a bit grimy. I will be back for a good time.

It's a Casino, but a nice one. Great help when they built a huge, attached 4-level parking garage. Also increased the casino size by half. Lots of room now!! LOTS of machines-odds seem average. Lots of choices from penny to high rollers. Gaming tables abound but not obtrusive. VERY CLEAN lots if choices from snacks to posh restaurants. Wide array of palates. I go a lot for the summer concerts at their Amphitheatre-VERY nice. Perfect size for all to enjoy and a great venue for everyone on the circuit. Just saw Aussie Pink Floyd last night & my throat is sore from yelling and my face hurts from smiling! From the Valet parking in front of cascading, sparkling fountains of blue to the renowned golf course, Sandia Resort & Casino ROCKS!

I'd gone on a whim to have drinks at the bar with some friends and it was a very lively night. We had a lot of fun sending our pictures in to be displayed on the big screen and dancing and meeting people. I also stayed in a suite there before and the view was gorgeous! The suites are well accommodated and the whole trip was both relaxing and thrilling.

Went late on a Thursday night. Clean property and all the staff seem friendly. No alcohol sold or consumed on the casino floor, which I found a bit odd and disappointing. Small poker room and limited table games, but we were able to find seats at any game we wanted to play. Decent slots selection. All in all it is a nice little place just north of downtown

My husband & I were traveling by RV & needed a place to stay overnight. I called the Casino & the lady that answered was so welcoming & told me that we could spend 2 complimentary nights in their lot. She also gave specific instructions on how to get into lot with construction going on. The guard at the gate was also amazing. If they see this, Thank you for your hospitality! We were in a bind of not having a place to stay & you came through for us! We will be back!

We only where there for the buffet. The buffet was very nice at a relatively reasonable price. Children under 5 are free. They food was great. We were there on a seafood Friday and we enjoyed it. Never a line on the food almost. But the line to enter can be huge. Expect an hour or more at peak times. Plan it. The only downside was the smoking smell at the waiting line. It was horrific. Only reason for the 3 stars otherwise, a 4 or even a 5. If you are in a big group let the server know that they have put the tip already in.

Visited the casino to play slots. Was very busy since it was a Friday night. All the tables were packed and pretty much full of players but it was still easy enough to find slots that I wanted to play. The casino floor was well maintained and clean and I noticed a lot of attendants on the floor. Sandia took my money again though, maybe one day I'll have some good luck and actually win something.
