Smart Meetings

The Pueblo of Isleta is centrally located in the Río Grande Valley, just 13 miles south of Albuquerque and only five minutes away from I-25 via Exit 215. Originally established around the 1300s, the name Isleta comes from the Spanish language and means "Little Island." Isleta's current population is more than 3,166 (Census 2000 figures) and growing.

History:
Many traditions, songs and dances are still practiced and passed down from generation to generation. Historic St. Augustine Church, built in 1612 and located on the main plaza, presents interesting history and traditional architecture. Isleta Pueblo's diverse terrain ranges from the forested Manzano Mountains on the east across the fertile Río Grande Valley to the desert mesa lands of the Río Puerco on the west.

What's Distinctive:
Exciting casino action, a gorgeous golf course, private fishing lakes, the area’s hottest entertainment and a luxurious new resort hotel and convention center. No matter what you're looking for, Isleta Casino and Resort is a destination worth discovering.

Brand-new accommodations
The new Isleta Casino and Resort Hotel and Convention Center will include over 200 guest rooms and suites that are as unique as they are luxurious. Each spacious room is designed with our unique southwest culture in mind—original artwork from the Isleta Pueblo artisans is displayed in each room and throughout the resort. Guests will also enjoy personal touches such as luxury linens, iPod docking stations and flat-screen TVs. Several rooms feature private balconies where guests can enjoy the sunrise over the nearby Manzano Mountains or beautiful sunsets over the Rio Grande.

Make it a meeting they’ll remember
Business can be a pleasure. The Isleta Casino and Resort has everything planners need to make their next meeting or special event a success—top-notch facilities, a knowledgeable banquet staff, excellent catering options, state-of -the-art audio/visual equipment and, of course, the beauty of New Mexico as a backdrop.

Fun, games and a whole lot more
The casino action is always hot at Isleta! The beautiful casino features more than 1,600 slot machines, including old favorites and plenty of new ones. Looking for table games? We’ve got them! You’ll find traditional ones like roulette, craps and blackjack, plus the new Vegas-type games like Fortune Pai Gow and 3 Card & Let it Ride Poker. Or, try your hand at the nation's hottest game, Texas Hold'Em, in our newly expanded poker room.

Guests can take a break from the casino action at the new Spa at Isleta—a full-service spa featuring melt-your-cares-away massages, facials, the latest hydration therapies and more.

Then, when the sun goes down, there's even more entertainment. Live music will rock New Mexico's hottest new nightclub, 505 Fusion, and national touring acts will regularly take the stage at the 2,500 seat indoor Casino Showroom.

Families will find everything they’re looking for at the new Isleta Fun Connection. It features 24 bowling lanes, laser tag, an arcade, pro-style billiard tables and a snack bar.

And when you want to enjoy the great outdoors, tee off at one of New Mexico’s most stunning courses—the Isleta Eagle Golf Course. The challenging 27-hole course winds around three lakes and offers breathtaking views of the Rio Grande Valley. Plus, golfers can find everything they need at the new clubhouse, from clothes to private lessons.

You can also catch some fun, and some fish, at Isleta Lakes. The regularly stocked lakes and picnic areas were recently renovated with the addition of a new RV park that caters to the travelers on nearby Interstate 25.

Dining choices from elegant to easy
Prime cut steaks, Asian cuisine, seafood, and an amazing buffet...whatever you're hungry for, you'll find outstanding culinary choices at Isleta. So come hungry, and leave room for dessert.
