Typically, Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino would be preparing for its annual horse racing meet.
But with COVID-19 virus cases remaining high in New Mexico and the casino still closed, the start of horse racing or any type of season is still up in the air.

According to the New Mexico Racing Commission website, Sunland Park Racetrack & Casino had a 42-day meet scheduled for Dec. 26 through March 30.
In a text to the El Paso Times, Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino officials offered this statement: 'Per the New Mexico health order, Sunland Park Racetrack and Casino will remain closed. We continue to work with the racing commission as we prepare for the return of live racing.'
Sunland Park ended the 2020 season in mid-March due to virus concerns, costing the track several big races including the Sunland Derby, West Texas Futurity and Sunland Park Handicap. Sunland Derby is a prep race for the Kentucky Derby worth 50 points to the winner.
The racetrack attempted to bring back simulcasting of horse racing from other tracks in June, but that lasted a few days before it ceased.
Meanwhile, several trainers and jockeys will have to relocate this winter to other tracks. Thoroughbred trainers Todd Fincher and Justin Evans have made plans to go to Turf Paradise in Arizona and Sam Houston Park in Texas, respectively. Fincher and Evans have been prominent trainers at Sunland Park for several years.
'We'll spend a good portion of the winter in Arizona,' Evans said. 'I'll look at Sam Houston as well for some stakes races. I'll keep my New Mexico bred horses ready in New Mexico if Sunland Park does open. It's been tough on everyone. Some jockeys are headed to Arizona as well. My wife Vanessa is going to be agent for a few jockeys such as Frank Reyes, Luis Negron and Jimmy Coates.'
Added Fincher: 'It's been a difficult time for so many in this industry. I'm fortunate to have been granted 24 stalls at Sam Houston and will have some run at Remington Park in Oklahoma as well. But I really believe we could have run in New Mexico and done it the right way. People are getting out of the business and it's tough to see that happen to good people.'
Zia Park Racetrack and Casino in Hobbs, New Mexico, took a couple of weeks off due to the health order in New Mexico but is expected to resume racing on Wednesday and will try to finish the meet, which is slated to end Dec. 22.
Longtime quarter horse and thoroughbred trainer Tony Sedillo said he doesn't believe Sunland Park will have live horse racing unless the casino is opened.
'I'm looking at running horses in Arizona and then in March, we'll send some of my quarter horses to Remington Park in Oklahoma,' Sedillo said. 'I still have some horses set to run at Zia Park. Hopefully, we can finish the meet there. I don't think we'll see any dates made up, but purses look to be going up over the next three weeks. It's just hard times right now and hopefully, we can weather this. I've been in this business 45 years and never have seen anything like this.'

Sunland Park Casino El Paso Tx
No sewer/black water hookup but you can drive over to the opposite side at the horsemen entrance (east side of the casino) and dump there before hooking up and again before departing. A little inconvenient but still nice to have.
30/50 Amp electricity is available at the 8 sites as is fresh water.
No trees so no shade. You're located in the parking lot but away from the most-traveled portion of it and only in the area where employees drive past to park off behind the casino.
If I am not mistaken, these spaces are located right next to the rack track and #8 is the closest.
At this writing space #3 is out of commission.
It's first come/first served here so, you may not get a space during busy times but also, if I am not mistaken, there is plenty of spaces to park at the west-most perimeter and probably for free. Last night I saw 2 tractor trailers come in and park there overnight with no one having a problem with that.

The buffet is $ 10.00 and was worth the money.

We've stayed here several times in the past, but they have recently changed their policies. Our most recent stay was in Sept. 2009. The price per night for the 8 RV spots with hookups has been raised to $10. You are no longer allowed to dry camp in the parking lot if one of the 8 RV hookup spots are available. Don't know about dry camping if all spots are full.
