Today, I was a bit bored at home, so I decided to head over to the Fire Rock Navaho Casino near Gallup to wander around.
It had been two years since I was last there. Cheii Restaurant inside is a nice place for dinner.

There weren't too many people inside when I got there. I decided to get a cup of complimentary coffee at the food court. After being handed the coffee, I tipped the girl who served me.
I wandered around the casino for a while after finishing my coffee. Although they have signs posted about taking no photographs at the casino, I had to shoot one of a slot machine. It was of Bela Lugosi as Dracula along with other Universal Pictures classic monsters. Lugosi was most prominent. I do hope Bela Lugosi Jr. received a nice paycheck from the machine's manufacturer and, possibly, the casino since he owns the rights to his father's image.

Cheii's restaurant has some interesting specials during the month of February (particularly the crab legs). I took a photo of their sign for future reference.

I browsed around in the casino gift shop, but there was nothing there of any particular interest to me.
The casino was mainly assorted slot machines and table games, mainly blackjack and craps. There was only one roulette table there (my preferred gambling method).

I went over to Cheii Restaurant and checked out their menu. I saw that they changed it again. The chile chicken Alfredo they had three years ago was gone. That was disappointing! I was hoping they still had it.
After some more wandering around, I headed back home. But it was a good hour and a half excursion to get out the house with.
