Sandia Resort Seeking Marketing Agency

Sandia Resort and Casino is seeking a marketing agency. Since it first opened in 1994, The Sandia Resort and Casino has undergone extensive developments to its property to provide a truly all-inclusive and luxurious experience for visitors. Owned and operated by the Pueblo of Sandia, it was the very first Indian casino in New Mexico at its opening. Now there are approximately 25 tribal casinos in the state, including Sandia. The goal was to create an upscale experience that was close to home for New Mexicans, while encompassing Southwestern pride and culture for out-of-state visitors.

With friendly customer service and opulent amenities, this goal was not only realized, it made Sandia Resort & Casino the best place for entertainment in the state. The Vegas-style casino floor measuring at 140,000sq.ft. is only the tip of the iceberg in regards to all that Sandia Casino has to offer. With the addition of the hotel in 2005, and another expansion in 2014 to add the golf pavilion and parking garage, Sandia Resort & Casino slowly became much more than just a place to game.

Now visitors from all over the nation and New Mexicans looking for a place to get away, can get lost in the lights and sounds of the casino floor, relax at the luxurious Green Reed Spa, dive into the outdoor pool, tee off on the 18-hole championship golf course, listen to their favorite singer at the outdoor amphitheater, dine at any of the numerous restaurants, bars, and lounges, get married to their best friend, and spend the night in one of the grand, luxury suites – all available onsite.

Sandia Resort & Casino offers class III gaming, as defined by the National Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, with over 2,300 slot machines, 32 table games, and several entertainment options on Pueblo lands near Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Sandia Resort & Casino has 228 rooms, five restaurants, convention space, spa, and an 18-hole golf course and club house. Sandia Resort & Casino operates twenty-four (24) hours a day, three days a week including federal holidays and twenty (20) hours the remainder of the week.
