Lucky Star Casino - Concho

"Free camping w/elec-sewer but our site kept throwing our breaker, solved by using 50amp. Casino is VERY smoky & outdated. Parking area was noisy till about midnight."

"They made my Valentine's day worse than it already was. In short there's nothing but the restaurant- without bison meat in any food and gambling here and they allow tobacco smoke inside plus the restrooms are to the back past the smoke. I asked about buying beadwork and they don't have anything. The Indian Taco is not bison meat anymore it's cattle meat and there is no bison meat at all here plus I saw dry flour on the fry bread after I cut into it enough- yuck. The first waitress we had told my mom she wouldn't put stuff on the side my mom wanted on the side, and I didn't want to "save it for someone else at home" and put it in my car anyway, so my mom started arguing with her about it and when I got involved and tried to get my mom to stop asking about it, another waitress threatened me directly and said she would kick us both out for the day if I didn't stop raising my voice or something like that! I guess she didn't put our order in because a third waitress came and acted like she had to get our order again, but she was nice so I didn't complain about the flour on the fry bread to her. I found out the Cherokee trading post might have bison burgers, but I didn't have time to go there. I'm diabetic now and I couldn't wait to eat and I had eat some Taco Bell on the way, but then my sugar got really high again because of it, and I didn't have my insulin with me because I didn't plan on staying after us eating. I should have gone home, but my mom refused to go home because she wanted to be able to enter contests. I'm highly allergic to tobacco smoke and they had cigarette smoke in the area you have to go through to go to the restroom! Later on I was coughing already and I came back in to find my mom since it was dark and the security wouldn't help me find her except if I wanted her paged. My mom has trouble walking so I had to go down almost every aisle myself to find her. A guy who worked there, had been helping her, to gamble I guess with her free $20 card, so I thanked him and when he helped hold the door open for her to go outside I said "this is the last time I'm taking her to a casino" and "the fun's over,ha"(for my mom). In the beginning at home, before we came, my mom said wanted an Indian Taco, but when we got there, she revealed that she wanted to enter contests, BUT she didn't say anything about THAT before we left. My mom has some dementia + other problems and after she got in she couldn't decide what to do first -enter contests, go to the restroom, or eat an Indian Taco at the restaurant. Then we found out she had to use the machines to enter the contests so they gave her a card and put money on it twice in two different places next to each other. I escaped my abusive ex husband on Valentine's day 30 years ago and this experience didn't help pass the day."

"I won a lot here. They are generous. Because you are on a reservation, the food prices are great. $10 for a complete dinner. $15 for a special occasion dinner. All staff were wonderful. The attitude was come as you are jeans and a sweatshirt are fine. Also I noticed some gay couples. Inclusion is getting better."

"Went to the Sublime with Rome & Dirty Heads concert! Very cool outdoor amphitheater. The sunset views were beautiful! Please fill in the holes so nobody breaks an ankle! Some had cones surrounding them and others did not. Will be back to see more concerts, remember to bring chairs and a blanket** otherwise you'll be sitting on the grass or if you paid extra VIP you have chairs"

"Here's everything you need to know about outdoor concerts at Lucky Star Concho. Overall the concert experience was great and the music was plenty loud! Would definitely go again. Bring earplugs just in case. Pros - Free golf cart rides to the entry - Free bottles of water at the drink stands (until they run out) - Re-entry was allowed during the concert - The two mobile restrooms near the entry area are nicer ones - The sound was great at the concert - The tribe running the event was very friendly and helpful - Drinks weren't too expensive - Towards the middle to end of the concert, there were almost no lines at the drink stands - You can bring in blankets and camping chairs for the GA lawn area - For the VIP seated area people were able to leave their chairs and group together near the front of the stage for the concert - The land slopes downward towards the stage providing a good view for everyone in the GA lawn area - The GA lawn area was a lot bigger than what they show on the website Cons - There are random foot-size holes in the ground, so watch your step and use your phone's flashlight after dark - Once the free bottles of water are gone, you have to walk over to the casino to get water - Beer selection was limited to domestic beers only - Cocktails were premixed and only 3 to select from - At the beginning of the concert, lines at the drink stand were about 15 minutes long"
