We like it too...we've hit a couple hundred on quarter slots but then end up putting it back in...let me know how Sandia is..I keep seeing the signs but we haven't taken the time to go there yet. Maybe on the next trip through there
Good luck on Saturday!!
We certainly had a pleasant time of it.
The casino was easy to find and located just a few miles past the well known landmark of Camel Rock.

They certainly designed it with a Southwestern flavor and it suites the environment nicely.

Now for the gaming. The slots were so freakin tight I think we were lucky to escape without blood loss. And none of the machines had a percentage payout sticker which I always thought was required. Maybe that is not the case in New Mexico? Hmmmm. Well, the payouts were dismal. Jonne was able to recoup some of our slot losses at the tables so all in all we were down $210.00 which is quite realistic for dinner (nice buffet) and a sold out show.
On to the show.

Leno was so very funny. 90 minutes of non-stop humor. He is very witty and comfortable with his craft. Very topical with current affairs and a lot of politics. And speaking of that, when we sat down it was still early and there were very few fannies in the seats at least down in the front rows were we were.From my aisle seat on 4th row I noticed the 3 guys sitting front row center and thought hmmmm, the middle one looks mighty familiar. I thought it was our Govenor, Bill Richardson. So up I go and sure enough it is him, sitting dead center.
He has been so much in the news lately what with his Obama appointment to head the Commerce department and his having to withdraw his nomination while he is being investigated by a grand jury on some ethics issues.![]()
So what does this life long Republican who has many family members that could be considered to the right of God on many issues have to say to the very Democratic Govenor of the great state of New Mexico when she finally gets the chance? Well I stick out my hand, look him square in the eye and say "We just love you down in Albuquerque".When I got back to my seat and told Jonne, he called me a PUTZ.
Well that's it for me. I have included a youtube short that will fill you in on our govenor for those of a mind to see what another famous comedian thinks of him.![]()
Toodles!
