The lake-and-mountain view from the big-windowed lobby of this luxury lakeside casino resort on the Mescalero Apache Reservation is stunning. Gamblers can feed slots, while guided fishing, paddleboat rentals, a championship golf course and horseback riding are just a concierge call away. Several restaurants, a nightclub and a sports bar are also on-site. It's fun for a night or two.

Beer lovers take note: there are 70 beers on tap at the resort's Broken Arrow Taphouse.

There is a $17 resort fee per night.
