About Sandia Resort & Casino

Overview

Sandia Resort & Casino is operated by the Pueblo of Sandia and is consistently rated the finest casino resort in Albuquerque. The property's location on the eastern edge of Albuquerque at the foot of the Sandia Mountains provides spectacular views and a natural setting that distinguishes it from every other casino in the New Mexico market. "Sandia" means "watermelon" in Spanish — a reference to the pink and red glow of the mountains at sunset that makes the resort's mountain-facing accommodations particularly memorable.

The Sandia Pueblo has occupied the Rio Grande valley for centuries and the casino enterprise has substantially transformed the tribe's economic capacity, funding healthcare, education, language preservation, and community services. The resort's partnership with Hyatt Hotels ensures a hospitality standard that matches mid-tier national resort brands.

Gaming

1,700+ slot machines and 40+ live table games. The poker room hosts regular cash games and tournament series. High-limit gaming available. The casino operates on a Class III compact with the State of New Mexico and offers Vegas-style gaming including craps and roulette.

Hotel & Amenities

The 228-room luxury hotel includes mountain-view rooms and a full-service spa. Twin Warriors Golf Club (18-hole championship course) is one of the finest public courses in New Mexico. The Bien Shur sky-high restaurant at the top of the resort is among New Mexico's finest dining experiences.
