The Lea County Event Center is often referred to the locals as "the coliseum."…read more While it is the largest indoor stadium of sorts in the entire county, its size pales in comparison to big city venues. My first recollection of this facility was when I was still in grade school. My mom took me and my best friend at the time to a country concert starring Tracy Lawrence with then up-and-comer Toby Keith. Because this is not an extravagantly huge venue, there really isn't a bad seat in the house. We didn't sit particularly close to the "Time Marches On" crooner, but could see his facial expressions just fine. I've been here for many more events since: professional bullriding, motocross, monster trucks, arts & crafts fairs, the local community college and area high school graduations, etc. Working with the county on many projects in this building for several years was also a good experience. The County has decided to seek ideas for upgrades with the LCEC. I hope that the parking doesn't get chaotic. Please ensure there is ample parking... even maybe a parking garage in the future? Can't wait to see the changes!

My brothers and I threw a surprise party at the Longhorn Party Pad in honor of my mom's 70th…read morebirthday on April 20, 2024. It's located on the north side of Hobbs, NM. I was concerned about the possible lack of parking, but there ended up being plenty. I reserved this fairly large facility from 3PM to midnight for a charge of $960 due upon arrival. A $100 deposit was required for a cleanup fee. If your group cleans up, the deposit is returned. Overall, my group of about 50 guests had a great time and was impressed, however, it was not without a few pitfalls. There are several ways to bring this place from good to great & I'm rooting for them because I want this husband/wife duo to do well: - the lone bathroom! The toilet is raised with a steep step which was not user-friendly even for my athletic 5'6" body much less for my handicapped aunt. She went home early due to this. - several tables & chairs were not in good working condition - weird wood piece on the wall that prevented the fridge from shutting nicely - the arcade games devoured everyone's quarters! Lol. - as an owner, I would supply a list of policies and infractions for renters along with consequences. Everything told to me was verbal. I don't have THAT much faith in humanity even with cameras on the premises and the owners living next door. A contract would keep both sides honest. - last, but certainly not least, it was difficult to understand just exactly what was included in the reservation price due to the owner opting to text instead of call. I'm a so-called millennial, but I hate text messaging. So I relied heavily on my Facebook photo investigative skills to determine certain information. PROS + bluetooth speaker + toilet paper & paper towels + alcohol allowed + separate party rooms + fridge/freezer + microwave + TVs + arcade game room + playground set + basketball hoop + sand volleyball court + foldout tables & chairs + outdoor lighting + 2 bounce houses (weather permitting for one of them) + ample parking + several trash cans & extra liners I'd do a few things differently, but my mom had a special time and that's what mattered.

Dulceria Cosmos is a brand new Mexican candy store in Hobbs, New Mexico…read more Their grand opening was February 1, 2024. Their daily hours are from 10:30AM-8PM. When my daughter and I walked in on the afternoon of 2/10/2024, we were not welcomed. None of the 3 employees smiled at us. No music was playing. We were never asked if we needed help. Then two groups walked in after us and were quickly greeted and music was turned on. It really ticked me off. Then my daughter started picking out candy and showing me. One employee followed us and watched us like a hawk. It was very uncomfortable. I told my daughter to put the candy back because I didn't feel welcome there & we walked out. The candies were mostly of the Mexican variety and in bulk packaging. Most likely unbeknownst to them, I grew up eating much of the items they sold, but I have no problem walking out when I am not welcome. There weren't many supplies except some party favors, piñatas, and balloons. This is a brand new store so it was very clean with ample parking in a plaza lot. According to their Facebook page, a snack bar con elote en vaso, fresas con crema, y elote entero is "coming soon." Hope you receive better service than we did.

I'm a travel nurse at times and my husband is always searching for a decent place for us to stay…read more He hit the bullseye here. First time stay, we got an upgrade. The cabins are well furnished with a rustic atmosphere. The furniture is solid, not your average cheap "get it in there" junk. The staff is friendly, the cabins are always clean (except one accident, which was immediately resolved with extremely courteous service!) There's coffee and snacks with complimentary soaps and shampoos in each cabin. It's a little noisy from the highway but that's hardly noticable, given how comfortable the beds and loveseats are. This is our third stay with several more to go. Definitely recommend staying here if you have any overnight business in the area!!!

I really…read moreappreciate the covered parking area, which helps shade our RV during the heat of the day, and also gives us peace of mind during bad weather, in case of hail. There is plenty of room for us to park our 36 ft 5th wheel as well as our full-length dually tow vehicle underneath the covered parking inside our allotted area. We have full hookups which are easily accessible. There is a nice laundromat on site with coin-operated washers and dryers, a coin machine which dispenses quarters in exchange for $1, $5, $10, and $20 bills. There is also a machine which dispenses laundry supplies. There are indoor restrooms in the laundromat, a long table for folding laundry, and a few chairs. On the front porch of the laundromat there are benches, and a snack/drink machine which can be operated with coins, dollar bills, credit cards, and Apple Pay. The RV site is easily accessible just off the main road. Traffic noise is noticeable, but we sleep with our A/C or fan running, which helps mitigate the noise level. Very handy RV park for overnight or longer stays. Check-in and check-out is done over the phone with a credit card. We plan to continue using this RV park during our trips through the area.

This is our first time staying here and so far for the price we have prayed we are not at all impressed. I was looking forward to taking a bath. Issue... water does not turn off!!! Cold water runs and I don't mean drip! Then I try to call front desk and no one answers! I call the toll free number while still having FD on the phone. 800 tries to call and no answers. I finally walk up to the desk. No customers just clerk there. They seemed bewildered that those phones never rang. They called maintenance guess what no answer! So water is still running and no maintenance has shown up. Tried Calling FD again still no answer. Called them direct from outside number and they answer. I am not impressed. If it were my staff I would be going crazy on them. Customerservice is high priority and obviously this is not true for this establishment. Very disappointed.
