New Mexico, Cubero - Wednesday, October 22, 2014 - Sky City Casino


We left Enchanted Trails early this morning to go to the Freightliner dealership that was just down the road.  They don’t take appointments, we wanted to be one of the first in line so we might have a chance of getting service and getting out of there at a decent time.  Our check engine light had been coming on intermittently since we were in Indiana.  We had it checked there and were told that it was nothing serious, we just needed to get the computer updated.  As it turned out, it wasn’t too serious but it wasn’t that the computer needed to be updated, the filter for the crank case ventilation needed to be changed.  This isn’t a filter that can be reached easily so it’s a good thing it doesn’t have to be changed often.
We got out of there about 2 o’clock and headed to our destination for the evening about 45 miles down the road – Sky City Casino.

There was lots of beautiful scenery to admire, but a lot of it was visible out my side window which makes for a blurry picture.  These are ones I could take out of the front window.
 

 


We read that Sky City had a campground so we thought it might be nice to check it out and try our luck at the casino.

The campground is pretty plain Jane, but more than adequate for what we need for an evening.  It has full hooks ups and we got a Good Sam discount so it was $22 for the night.  You do have to watch out for sand burs though, they are everywhere.  The bottoms of our tennis shoes were just covered with burs sticking in them, we crunched when we walked.  Don’t want to get those inside where we walk around barefoot most of the time.
 
 
There is a shuttle from the campground over to the casino.  We ate at the buffet, tonight’s special was all you can eat chicken and beef fajitas.  We signed up for player cards and got $2.00 off the buffet each and a spin for complimentary play money.  Greg got $5.00 complimentary play and I got $25.  For the evening we ended up down $20, we are pretty big spenders J
