Take a chance
A kind of surreal interlude, Sangam Resort is also a typical border casino, complete with busy gaming tables (even first thing in the morning), international cuisine restaurants, a massage parlour and beauty salon and beer garden.
The only thing it really lacks is a soul. The rooms are actually pretty good, considering the prices charged and their range, though once you’re in the high-value end it might take you a while to get used to the super-imposing furniture, which is enormous, heavy and dark. This is stuff designed to shore up egos built on fragile foundations. The deluxe rooms come in at about $80 a night, and come complete with everything including flat-screen TV, mini-bar, safety box, a small balcony and a bath. Other rooms come in at $100 and $160, the last for the VIPs, which are more like suites with all of the above and large private balconies. If your budget isn’t going to stretch this far, they also have a range of smaller, guesthouse-type rooms in an adjacent building. These are all air-con rooms with TVs, hot-water showers and comfortable beds. There are no frills, but that’s probably not why you’re here.
