ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — The Pueblo of Isleta is dropping its affiliation with the Hard Rock brand at its popular casino and resort south of Albuquerque and will return to the Isleta Casino brand, a resort executive announced Wednesday.
The resort has operated under the moniker Hard Rock Hotel and Casino Albuquerque for almost three years. It previously had been known as the Isleta Casino & Resort.
“The Pueblo has decided it is best to return to its own brand to identify it in this market and with its loyal customers,” according to a news release from CEO Pamela Gallegos. “The resort had operated under the Isleta Casino brand for over 20 years and the Pueblo believes this has a better connection in its history and culture.”
Isleta believes the property’s future direction “should be directed to its more traditional values,” she said.
Calls requesting comment from Gallegos and Hard Rock’s corporate office in Orlando were not immediately returned.
The name change will not affect any current staff or operations, according to the news release.
Hard Rock Casino Resort in Albuquerque, New Mexico has a 100,000 square foot casino floor with 1,750 slot machines, 35 table games, poker, bingo and a hotel. The Hard Rock Casino was formerly the Isleta Casino and one of the best places in the Southwest. The pictures tell the whole story.

- (ISLETA PUEBLO, NM) Officials at Isleta Resort & Casino have announced the closing of its casino and all resort properties beginning at 11:59PM on Monday, November 16th.

“In fact, this change should create more growth and job opportunities for tribal members and other members of the community, as well as keeping additional money in the local economy,” Gallegos said.
The casino announced in October 2009 it had entered into a franchise agreement with Hard Rock Hotel Holdings LLC and HRHH IP and would take on the global brand name. Terms were not disclosed.
The hotel and resort, which opened in July 2008, underwent a multimillion-dollar renovation, which included construction of a center bar, a trademark feature of Hard Rock casinos. It was also furnished with $2 million in rock ‘n’ roll memorabilia, something the casinos also are known for.
It was unclear whether the brand change would affect the outdoor concert venue, Hard Rock Casino Albuquerque Presents The Pavilion, near Mesa del Sol.

Use Exit 215 from I-25 and go south. Use the furthest south entrance on the left, past the casino, which is labeled for 'Commercial Trucks' There is a separate parking area for commercial trucks much like rest area parking slots, but there is also a separate very large lot designated for RVs. It is lined like a regular car lot. We parked along the curb near the steps leading up to the casino.

Campground Information
There is a full service campground on the right of the highway just south of the Exit 215 listed for $35 a night.
Casino Information
Hard Rock apparently took over this tribal casino in June of 2010. It is much like a regular Vegas casino with many choices for eating and all the gambling options. A large hotel is connected to the casino. There were shuttles parked near the entrance but they were not running the night we were there. It was not crowded on a weeknight.

RV/Truck area is very slanted. I have to unhook the fiver to get level. Quiet (if no trucks running) and safe. New food court is reasonably priced. We'll be back.

We needed a place to overnight with electricity for the AC. Also looking for something not to far from the Interstate. This seemed like a good place, had decent reviews, so we stopped in. Glad we did. Nice, clean, helpful. Spacious sites, nice picnic tables and armadas over them. Even have grills. All the sites are pull-through, so we did not have to unhook the toad. There is minimal shade. Most sites have a tree, it is all about getting in its shade:). The interior roads, sites and pads are gravel and rock. The wi-fi was top notch, the Verizon coverage was good. And you can not beat the price in the heat of the summer. There is a train crossing near-by and you can hear the commuter trains some, but it seems to end in the evening. Turned out to be just what we were looking for as an overnight stay with hook-ups. We camped at Isleta Lakes & RV Park in a Motorhome.

Isleta Hard Rock Casino New Mexico Casino
This casino is now being managed by the Isleta pueblo themselves and they have ditched the Hard Rock name. 48hour free camping in the paved truck lot. The whole lot is built on a slant, though we managed to level our trailer just fine. Beautiful casino inside.

We had planned to stop here for a day or two. When we arrived, bone tired and ready to get off the road for the night, we were shocked to learn the RV park was closed and the casino was closed. Some tribal affair. this was on 2/11/13. No interest in allowing us to hook up and spend the night.. Won't be back, too many other choices.
[Admin: This is a good reason to call ahead and check on availability for overnight stops whether it's a casino or an RV park. Avoid disappointment]

- report from Karen B., May, 2008
We didn't see the electric outlets reported by Tony K. They may still be there but there has been a lot of construction because the casino is adding a hotel. There is a huge new paved parking lot which was where we stayed. It's a bit of a walk to the casino. There are shuttle stops but no shuttle buses yet. The construction appears to be almost finished. The parking lot has a moderate slope so some type of leveling is required.
The casino has the usual variety of slot machines but I didn't find any good VP machines. We ate lunch at the buffet. There were a few Chinese and Mexican dishes but it was mostly home style southern cooking. Okay but not great. This is a good place to stay if you want to see Old Town and the museum district.
