I have enjoyed your roadtrip photos and reports during the last year. I'll be making the cross country drive via Route 40 in a couple of months. Are there any must-see casinos along the way? And if just stopping for lunch or dinner, do you have any favorites along the route? I'll be traveling with companions, so I will be steering clear of places like The Golden Pony, which I suspect turns into something like the Titty Twister after dark.

I'll probably stop at the El Rancho in Gallup again as that is one of my favorite places, but any other interesting recommendations, casino or not, would be great.
