Vegas Esque FULL ON CASINO! Right in Good ol SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA! In the greater So Cal Metro Area. Not big promises of flash, only to find, a piddly slick ersatz letdown! NO SIR This IS REAL gaming. The outlet mall is also just a hop, skip and a jump away. This place can be fun for a two or three night stay. There are a few other nice restaurant selections here at the resort as well as some low price options. They do charge a $16 resort fee to cover the pool and parking. I got a good price on the room, around $110. It was similar to a good Vegas buffet, not quite up to Bellagio's but probably as good as Rio's. plus they had prime rib, a variety of salads, side dishes and desserts. The best surprise was their delicious seafood buffet (Thursdays) where they served scored crab legs both steamed and cold, shrimp, sushi, crawfish, etc. are all very Vegas looking but I didn't gamble much so I couldn't really remark much there. The pool area is large and inviting and I think kids would love it. I even went to the spa for a massage and it was very nice. The staff was super friendly and helpful.
I stayed here one night while on business travel and my room was spacious, clean, comfortable, and well appointed. They've done a good job of trying to create a Vegas style casino right off the I-10 about 30 miles west of Palm Springs.
