Route 66 did just open up its hotel. It looks very nice. The games on weekends are that there are TONS of double deck as low as $5 min. Good odds. Don't know about the kid area--my kids are too old. The "KKX" nightclub has a waiting line of 50-100 people for some unknown reason. There is a girl "shadow dancing" on big screens visible from the pit closest to the nightclub, as well as a live scantily-clad girl dancing. We play here weekly. I recommend it. Another post I just made touts Isleta just south of ABQ as the place to play for now..."midnight madness." At least on weekends through March. I would not recommend Sandia--mostly continuous shuffle machines, but a beautiful casino. And if you are travelling, Inn of the Mountain Gods in Ruidoso (SE part of the state) is the most scenic area for a casino...the blackjack tables are okay.
