Caliente Casino - Villahermosa Ruiz Contize

Villahermosa (translation: beautiful village) is the capital city of the Mexican state of Tabasco and has a population of between ½ and ¾ of a million people. If you’re doing a rather long drive between major cities, it’s pretty much a mid-way stop over between Mexico City and Cancun. The city has also been referred to as La Esmeralda del Sureste – the emerald of the south east. There’s a few good attractions to check out while here. A good starting point might be the Zona Luz (city centre) or the Plaza de Armas (main square). Notable geographic feature include the lagoons, the largest being the La Laguna de las Ilusiones (Illusions Lagoon). If you're bringing the family, check out the various parks as well as the zoo and planetarium.

Inside the casino you can find a selection of classic and video slot machines in varying denominations. If you prefer bingo, it’s available as well. For those more interested in sportsbook, you can bet on major international sporting events and racetrack as well. After spending several hours walking throughout the city, a respite indoors from the hot Mexican sun may just be what you’re looking for when in need of some R and R.
