Nice Atmosphere: The casino has a pleasant atmosphere, and the overall experience was very enjoyable.

Negatives:

Smoking: The downside is that it is a smoking casino. When the casino is very crowded, the smoke can be a little overbearing.

Despite the smoke, I had a great time and would recommend Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino for its excellent staff and enjoyable gaming experience.

I can see if it was horse racing season how Sunland Park might be a fun place for a day trip. Apart from that it's the strangest casino I've ever visited. There are no table games, it's all slots and gambling machines of various flavors. One minor annoyance is not being able to drink in the casino...no alcohol. That's a New Mexico thing and it needs to change. It's a stupid restriction. The restaurant food is aggressively average and, if the racetrack is going, expect food and beverage to be easily overwhelmed. The slots game play, while limited, is fairly decent. I gambled a good two hours and came away in the green. I'd call it pretty fair play. All the same, the lack of decent food, the middle of nowhere location and quirky arrangement of the casino is not at all compelling for a return trip. I felt sorry for the staff, who were exceptionally nice. Again, just not enough to warrant a second trip. The the northwest corner of El Paso is just yucky and construction on I-10 makes it a place to be avoided at all costs.

It was a quick stop while visiting El Paso & it was a fun time with my husband. I didn't think I'd enjoy it not having actual gaming tables but it was pretty good.

We arrived at the venue at opening time, where approximately 15 people were already waiting in line. When it was our turn, the security guard—a young man—asked my wife and me for identification. We are both nearly 60 years old, and while we didn’t mind showing our IDs, we were surprised when he proceeded to scan them as well. We mentioned that we were out-of-town visitors and had never been to this location before. His response was that he was verifying we were over 21 years old.

What stood out to me was that while this was happening, 12 other people entered the venue without being asked for ID or having theirs scanned. In fact, during the time I sat in the lobby waiting for my wife, I observed 67 people entering, none of whom were asked for identification or subjected to the same scanning process.

When I inquired further, the security guard was unable to provide a clear explanation as to why we were the only ones subject to this additional scrutiny. While I’m not certain if this is common practice for out-of-town visitors or if there was another reason, the inconsistency left a poor impression. As a result, we have no intention of returning to this establishment.

This place is truly the Land of Enchantment Resort atmosphere. I love coming here just to let loose. I don't even have to gamble to have a good time I love the dance floor and the wonderful restaurant foods. They take much pride in their facility and treat everyone with respect. This staff is like family. I love this Casino because it's in my favorite spot in NM.

Very mid. Not good. Not bad. All electronic games. Tons of slots but there’s some roulette and blackjack. If you’re in to Casinos, this place is worth a try at least once.

This place was crowded, like really crowded. It was hard to find a parking spot, and once inside, the isles were full. There are lots of machines to choose from. There is even a smoking section and a non-smoking section. There are drink stations to food yourself, coffee or a soda, which was nice. Also, there are plenty of machines to exchange your tickets to cash. Left out of here 900.00 richer. Great place to stop and do a little gambling if ya like.
