Inn of the Mountain Gods Resort & Casino rests in the foothills outside Ruidoso, New Mexico. Owned by the Mescalero Apache Tribe, the four-diamond resort offers 273 luxury accommodations, all with private balconies and most facing majestic Sierra Blanca Peak across Mescalero Lake.
The property’s 30,000-square-foot convention center revolves around an Events Center seating up to 3,000 theater style or dividing into a wide variety of smaller configurations. Meeting planners may also select from eight smaller meeting rooms with names like Geronimo and Cochise.
Group activities include big-game hunting on the reservation, skeet shooting, horseback riding, fishing, downhill skiing, and golf at the resort’s 18-hole Ted Robinson–designed course, followed by evenings at the casino or concerts by headliners like Charlie Pride, Foreigner, and the Beach Boys.
Average Rating: 7.38
Beatiful location, worth the 2-plus hours from nearest airport. Many recreational options in the area for groups to experience. Does not have a pool or spa, but does have golf & casino.
