What to do and see in Albuquerque, New Mexico (NM): The Best Casinos & Gambling

June 14, 2021 Hector Krause

Whether you're into history, culture, outdoor adventures or just in need of some new and unique scenery, Albuquerque offers exciting attractions for all ages and interests, anytime of the year. In the historic section of Old Town, ancient Indian and Spanish cultures come to life through old churches, quaint shops and piazzas, winding brick paths and adobe benches. Browsers can spend a whole day making their way through the more than 100 stores, boutiques and galleries that sell Southwestern goods as well as unique products from around the world. During the winter holiday season, Old Town is adorned with small lit candles and thousands come to stroll through the streets, listen to live music and celebrate. It is truly a sight to see. But the history doesn't stop there. The Indian Pueblo Cultural Center and the Petroglyph National Monument offer a glimpse of old Indian customs and art. Families will find plenty to do at the Albuquerque Biological Park, which features a zoo, aquarium and botanic garden. Outdoor types will find ample opportunities for hiking, biking and golf. After working up an appetite, head to any number of fine restaurants that serve up a choice of hot or even hotter New Mexican cuisine. To top it all off, take a ride on the Sandia Peak Aerial Tramway for spectacular views of all this vibrant city has to offer.

My husband and I stayed at this resort for a few days on a New Mexico trip. It was extremely comfortable and we even got a free upgrade to a suite which was huge and luxurious. The pool and hot tub were lovely, we enjoyed playing the slot machines, and my aromatherapy soak treatment at the spa was heavenly. It's also conveniently near I-25 and has a gorgeous view of the Sandia mountain. I'd definitely stay here again!
