Decent Card Room close to Santa Fe, NM?

[MtSmalls]

Headed down to Santa Fe this weekend, and wanted to know if anyone had a recommendation for a casino nearer to Santa Fe than Sandia. I don't think I can convince the wife to drive another hour south, but might be able to convince her if there is something closer....

Thanks for the help!
