This was our first time here. It was really fun. The staff was really good to us giving us information. The bartering tenders were great as well. After looking around the facilities we decided to sit on the 3rd floor and it was worth the 10$ admission. The food was really good. We tried the spinach and artichoke dip and is was delicious. The races were so cool. I definitely recommend going at least once. Seeing them from up top and on the track below was incredible!

I enjoyed my Bloody Mary they are top notch at The Downs, the day we visited it was raining so the horses 🐎 racing was on pause still had a nice relaxing time. I also played a few slots and was up about 30 bucks! 🎰 Will return again soon, when in the mood for the best bloody Mary’s in my opinion. Also felt the parking and casino was a safe friendly place.

Was look for an adventure this weekend so we decided to go to the horse races. Didn't realize the fair was this weekend also but we had no trouble getting in or out. Absolutely a fantastic time. The staff was very helpful and very knowledgeable. We sat in the box on the third floor and it was awesome. The food was good too. Definitely recommend the spinach and artichoke dip. Bar tenders were great. The races were so fun. Definitely would love to do it again.

I came today to play my Birthday free play. I never got! Went to the promotion and they told me I can't because I didn't play this month!!! As to any other casino they have a kiosk. Where they give a random free play on your Birthday!!! This place ain't worth coming too! It's not a real casino but by an owner so they are just trying to make a profit!!! Move the State Fair and blow down the Downs! To make something more profitable!!!! So if want to lose money this is the Place For You!!!! And if you have a Birthday in any month and you haven't played in your Birthday month they don't give you any Birthday free play. Got to Isleta or Sandia at least they give you free play for your Birthday in your Birthday month!

It was the best view of the Sandia’s from any place in Albuquerque. It was awesome fun watching all the horses race. I’m gonna go much more often.
