Two-Time World Series of Poker Champion Jennifer Harman Celebrated Opening
Route 66 Casino recently held the grand opening of its state-of-the-art poker room. Two-time World Series of Poker champion Jennifer Harman helped to celebrate the grand opening with an autograph session and she played poker with Route 66 guests throughout the day. With a sophisticated and comfortable design, special amenities, and a variety of games, the new poker room is one of New Mexico’s finest.
To celebrate the grand opening, poker room guests had the opportunity to play a game against Harman simply by dropping their names into a drawing bin. Each hour, a drawing was held and nine guests were selected to play a few hands for cash winnings against Harman.
“Poker is among the most popular casino games today and our players have said that they would love to play the game here at Route 66 Casino. Now they can,” said Dan Ihm, marketing director of Laguna Development Corporation, which owns and operates Route 66 Casino. “Our room includes many popular games and variations on the game. In addition, we have added several amenities to make our room the most players friendly.
For example, ours is a non-smoking room, we have an exclusive bar for our guests and we use automatic shufflers that create the fastest games in town.” Route 66 Casino’s poker room includes 12 tables that offer Texas Hold’em Omaha High and Low, and 7-Card Stud. Other games include two mini-baccarat tables, one Pai Gow poker table and one four-card poker table. The poker room has two $25 blackjack tables.
“Our guests will find that our room is designed to be relaxing and yet it will make them feel special,” added Ihm. The décor of the room includes dark woods with a special glass railing to a separate poker bar area. The Route 66 Casino poker room is designated as a non-smoking area. It includes in-room food and beverage service from a select menu in addition to the bar.
Four plasma screen televisions allow guests to view the most exciting sports action and news. Players will note that the games are the fastest in town with high-speed automatic shufflers. In addition, the Route 66 Casino poker room offers no limit games and a maximum buy-in of $100. Members of the Fast Cash Reward program can earn units for every hour of play.
“Albuquerque poker players know what they want – action. Our poker room offers them what they are looking for,” said Ihm. “Poker is among the most competitive games in the country and Albuquerque is no exception. We will continue to work with our players so that our room remains the hottest spot in town for the game.”
The Route 66 Casino is owned and operated by Laguna Development Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Pueblo of Laguna. In addition to the poker room, the 167,000-square-foot property includes more than 1,200 slot machines, 20 table games, a bingo parlor, the Hungry Cowboy Buffet, the Cabaret Dell Rhea, the 2,800-seat Legends Theater, which features headline entertainment, and a retail shop.
The Route 66 Casino is adjacent to Interstate 40, parts of which are formerly the historic Route 66. The property is just 10 minutes west of Albuquerque.
