Emotion Casino Ciudad Juarez

Once named Paso del Norte, Ciudad Juarez has a population of roughly 1.5 million people and lies on the Rio Grande just south of El Paso. One thing you won’t be lacking for here, is things to do. There’s an abundance of parks, museums, historical buildings, restaurants, bars and clubs. And maybe, if you can squeeze it in, there’s still the casino to visit. Some major highlights in the city include the San Agustín Regional Museum, Hamizal Federal Public Park (at 40 acres, the largest in the city) and the Centro Escolar Revolución, an art-deco structure completed in 1939.
