I'm staying at the Staybridge Suites which are a couple of miles south of the Sandia at 5817 Signal Avenue NE but $50.00 cheaper per night. I figure I can have a lot of fun in the casino with that extra $150:-) The place is supposedly brand new. Phone 505-266-7829. $109.00 per night plus 12.75% tax. I made my reservation through Travels with Ellie at 800-304-7660. Dave TLCC > Oh, man, that's sweet.
