Santa Ana Star Casino Review Jump to comments

Santa Ana Star Casino is located at 54 Jemez Canyon Dam Road in Bernalillo, New Mexico. It is regarded by many as “New Mexico’s Best Bet.” When the casino opened in 1993 it became the first Native-American casino to operate in the state.

Starting with a little more than 60 slot machines, the gambling venue has grown to include a gambling floor that spans more than 100,000 square feet and hosts over 1,600 slot machines. Strictly Slots® Magazine has certified Santa Ana Star Casino with the “Loosest Slots in New Mexico”.

There are five dining choices including a buffet, Juniper Steakhouse, Cantina Rio, Starlight Bar & Grill and Mesa Grille. Entertainment options include a state-of-the-art bowling facility - Starlight Bowling Center. But even if you don't choose to knock down a few pins, you can still enjoy “The Party’s at The Stage” every weekend for a nightclub experience or catch stand up comedians on Thursday nights.

Santa Ana Star Casino offers more than 15,000 sq ft of meeting space ideal for business meetings, conferences, weddings or special events. The beautiful event space is equipped with state-of-the-art audiovisual facilities and offers full service banquet and catering.
