Is smoking permitted at either Sandia or Isleta?

Sandia, hands down, because it's the only place I've ever seen a real live roadrunner on the way in. Looked just like the cartoon..real tall legs and a long, stretched out horizontal body. I was cranking the radio in the rental so I can't verify if they go "meep meep". I hear the locals leave little meatballs out in their backyards to attract them.

Sandia and it's not close. I used to play there all the time, but the fact that the "only" game going usually (NL) is a 1/2 200 game, Vegas it is, but it's insanely soft at Sandia.

The room has 15 tables and is very well run. The dealers are all solid and the floor's are professional. Highly recommend checking it out!

Not in the poker room itself. You have to step "outside" of the room.

The only thing Isleta has going for it, is you can drink at the table. Only 2/4 and 2-6 usually run at isleta. Sometimes 2-10 and 2/5NL nights and weekends. However, the bad beat jackpot at isleta is up to 140,000.
