Route 66 Casino Hotel on Laguna Pueblo has temporarily closed for two weeks due to positive COVID-19 test results among employees.
The closure went into effect at 5 p.m. Sunday. Laguna Development Corporation made the decision to cease operations at the casino and hotel after 13 Route 66 employees tested positive for coronavirus. All LDC employees have been undergoing mandatory testing since Route 66 Casino Hotel reopened on June 24, according to a LDC news release.
Between late June and Oct. 22 eight positive employee cases were detected at the company. All of the cases were traced to exposure outside of the casino and hotel. The most recent cases also were due to exposure out of the property.
“LDC has done an extraordinary job of adhering to the health and safety protocols over the last four months of reduced operations,” Pueblo of Laguna Governor Wilfred Herrera said in the news release. “That is why our positive cases have remained low. However, infections in the region are flaring and our top priority remains protecting the health of our community and doing our part to minimize the spread of the virus.”
Route 66 Casino Hotel employees will be paid and their benefits will remain intact during the closure. All employees will be retested for the virus over the next several days and have been asked to self-quarantine as they await results, according to the news release.
“The increases in virus infections throughout New Mexico and the increase we saw as a result of mandatory employee testing this past week, encouraged us to exercise an abundance of caution to close down operations,” LDC president and CEO Maxine Velasquez said in the news release. “We will thoroughly sanitize and clean the entire Route 66 facility during the closure. We will also remind every employee, their family and friends to demonstrate COVID Safe Practices at home and at work. None of us can let our guard down.”
The Route 66 Travel Centers on Interstate 40 at exits 108 and 140 will remain open. The Route 66 RV Resort, the Marketplace at Dancing Eagle as well as convenience stores, gas stations and Laguna Burger restaurants also will stay open with all health and safety protocols and reduced levels of operation in place, according to the news release.

The casino was an average casino, nothing special about it. We ate at the buffet, two for one on Mondays and Tuesdays, and it was average or a little better. Lots of choices. We would go back when in the area.
Not courteous to stretch out and take 6-8 spots no matter how early you arrive; by late night everyone else was doubled up.
But maybe you were the selfish one that also continued being the POOREST example of RV friendly!
Our non-gracious words go to a fellow RVer for swapping out their old rusty, worn security tow-chain for our better quality, newer tow-chain last night.
We will only wish you safety along your travels.
Route 66 Casino in Albq. N.M. We have won money playing the big penny Wheel of fortune as you enter the door, have also spent 2 nights in the parking lot dry camping there, we visit that casino every time we go West.

All the pictures were taken from about the same location. The big sign is north east of my location. The road going past in the background is I-40 and you can see the exit 140 bridge in the distance. Also in the distance is the historical Rio Puerco bridge. It is the metal arch bridge seen under the exit bridge. The RV parking is to the right of the big sign. The travel stop and truck parking area is further to the right to the south of the RV parking. The RV parking pictures which were kind of non informational since there were no RVs there. I think you can see the curbs on each side of the parking area. The RV parking exit is right at the base of the sign. The entrance is over near the travel stop.
