Our first time to stay at this hotel. We have two rooms and both beautiful and well equipped. Big rooms and comfortable beds. They have lazy river included in the room for 4 each room. Variety of restaurants available. Excellent staff service from Housekeeping to front desk. 18 years old and older allowed to play at the casino. Casino doesn't smell like smoke; though people are allowed to do so. They also have a small food court available that has Panda Express, Italian, and Mexican cuisine. 8-12-2026

Morongo! Commercial casinos are permitted only in those states that have specifically legalized them (like Nevada does in Reno and Las Vegas). California has not legalized commercial casinos. So how do Morongo, Yamaava, Agua Caliente and the other California casinos do it? They are all located on Indian lands. Native American tribes can own casinos in certain areas due to tribal sovereignty, which allows federally recognized tribes to operate largely independently of state gambling regulations, so long as they do so on sovereign lands. What's different? Primarily, no Sports Book, and no traditional roulette or craps (they use cards instead of dice or a roulette ball). Also, slot machine payouts are not as transparent as, say, Nevada state gaming laws require. Also, no high end shopping, but the Cabazon outlets are right next door, and El Paseo shopping in Palm Desert is right down the lane. What's the same? Super giant gaming floor with a zillion slots machines from one penny to $500 per pull. There's a fancy steakhouse on top which I will try next time, an AYCE buffet, and a few other restaurants. I have not stayed there, as I am loyal to Bonvoy properties, but everyone in the know says the lazy river cannot be beat. Free parking, though you must hoof it from some distance to the casino door. Gamble responsibly Yelpers!

The casino has a lot of new amd fun slots. I like that the smoking section has decent games. This casino also has a lot of awesome venues. However my experience here was swayed heavily by the security here. Also their rewards system suck. 1 star bc the rent a cop on the bike forced me to go home with my husband right away while we were not in a good mood with each other. Id never come again. I can lose thousands elsewhere.

I was asked how I wanted to spend my birthday... I had to come to Morongo, hit the lazy river, then gamble at night! Was perfect weather and our bartender at the pool was phenomenal. Morongo has to address the amount of 18 year olds running around. (Perhaps they're 21 but it didn't appear so). They tend to jump on a table, make one bet, get rowdy, and don't play with correctly. When 1 person makes a bet, their 8 person group stands behind them making the table feel cramped. They then leave immediately and will circle back to jump back in and do it again. It's Just not the most enjoyable experience at the tables. The only thing missing at this casino is a craps table! They have electronic craps but nothing beats the feeling of throwing dice. I will say I was happy to hit an unexpected hand pay at the end of my day. I'll be back for the lazy river for sure. Always a good time

Morongo is still the best place for good times! I just spent two nights with a friend for Juneteenth weekend. Thursday night during summer is throwback tribute band night by the pool and Friday nights are Flamingo Friday pool party nights with live DJs. The Bon Jovi tribute band Thursday night was a lot of fun, and the best part of the trip was the Juneteenth Flamingo Friday night pool party. The energy was fantastic, the pool was well heated, decor was pink flamingos, DJs were great, and the dance floor was energized! I had such a great time. Table game minimums are pretty high, but still a lot of fun. The new poker room is stylin'. Rooms are luxurious and so comfortable! The Sandy Beach pool, lazy river, waterslide, and two hot tubs are the bomb. The gym is also superb, as is the spa. I did some shopping at the Cabazon outlets and came away with some cute new things. It's always fun to have a desert getaway.

What a fun casino that welcomes 18+ to their casino! For the past two years we have celebrated our daughter's 18th and 19th birthday. The pool is great with a lazy river and shallow lagoon. There is a buffet and food court. And so many different types of slot machines and tables. Make sure to grab a players card for the great rewards program.

Wahburgers

Morongo is in Cabazon next to the outlet. It's a resort, spa, ballroom, plenty of eateries. It's massive. Ranked as the third largest slot machine casino in southern CA under Pechanga and Yamava as number one. It's one of the two 18 and up casino besides Barona. The food court had Fatburger, Panda Express, Fiesta Taco, Italian Kitchen, Ruffed Feathers. Wahburgers next door. So many new slots that I haven't seen before. Since it is an 18 and up casino, there were lots of young folks. The air was clean, great vibe, great lighting. Free parking.

I've been coming to this casino for 15 years, it's always a good time! They have done some major renovations over the years since I've last been here. I love what they have done, definitely upgraded! The blackjack dealers are pretty friendly, mixed with a few that aren't. The only downside to this property is that isn't 18+ so you do get a very young crowd on the weekends. It keeps it lively inside, only they are all new to gambling, and jump in and out of the tables a lot. They also seem to pool their money, so 1 guy will play while the other 6 stand over him and watch. Just makes the whole table and casino floor feel overly crowded, with a lot of them not even gambling. Still a great place to play!

Daybed right in the pool

A little getaway without the getaway. Need a mental reset but can't commit to a full vacation? A pool day at Morongo is one of my favorite ways to recharge without leaving all my responsibilities behind. I've done this twice now, and both visits have been seamless. Be sure to call ahead and reserve a cabana or daybed they're reasonably priced and well worth it. For an extra discount get your morongo club card before paying for your cabana. Your reservation also includes a snack box stocked with sodas, bottled water, chips, and candy, which is a nice added touch. Once you're settled, you can lounge by the pool or head straight for the lazy river. Floating along with a drink in hand while soaking up the sun is about as relaxing as it gets. The pool staff regularly checks in to see if you need anything, and you can order food and drinks right from your spot. One of the biggest perks is that when you've had enough sun, you can walk right into the casino to try your luck at the slots or table games it's the best of both worlds. A couple of tips: if you have flexibility, visit while school is in session. It's noticeably less crowded, making for a much more relaxing experience. Also, the music can get pretty loud, so conversations with your group may be a little challenging at times. Overall, if you're looking for a fun, affordable staycation or a relaxing day trip, Morongo delivers. It's become one of my favorite escapes when I need a break without actually getting away.

My lucky day.

By far my favorite casino. Gives me money back to plays. The selection of restaurants and the food is good. Plenty of bars to sit and watch sports. The staff are a very helpful.

Coffee shop and casino

If you can stay here on a less popular day (we stayed on a Sunday), the rates are pretty reasonable (Fri and Sat are significantly more expensive). The staff was nice and polite, the rooms were clean and looked quite new with nice amenities. The lazy river and pool are nice and you're able to use them before your room is available on your day of check in, as well as your day of check out. There's a tram to the auxiliary casino where there's bingo. Bingo is expensive for the whole enchilada package where you play over 100 cards per game, which sounds nice until you realize everyone is playing a similar number of cards and some people have multiple tablets, so your chances aren't great. But it took up some time and stretched that $110 for longer than the equivalent time playing slots. We didn't come here to gamble, just to hang out and relax. It was good for that. And there were reasonable food options at the food court inside where you could get a pretty decent meal for $20-25. All in all, not bad. We enjoyed the trip here.

Gohar K.

One of my most favorite casinos in Southern California. Always a good time. The resort is really fun with the best pools and some really nice restaurants. There is also a spa. We come here a few times a year either for a daytrip or overnight weekend trip. Either way we love it. I specially love playing at the black Jack tables and roulette. Fun fun fun. But always with a preset limit for gambling.

Jeff L.

We love the Morongo Casino Resort and Spa. It's a great stop while you're traveling in and out of Palm Springs or even LA. They have great service and also a huge amount of things to do while you're staying at the Morongo Casino Resort and Spa. While traveling in and out of the desert stop at Morongo Casino Resort and Spa you'll have a great time and you might just leave with a couple extra bucks in your pocket.

1/2 poker!

Do hotel guests have to pay extra to use the lazy pool river? The website is confusing where it indicates lazy river pricing for hotel guests.

I believe it's only a jacuzzi and you have a private gate to access the main pool. Not sure if the cost per night, you'd have to call.

Morongo Canyon Lanes - Great Bowling, but Be Prepared to Pay!…read more Morongo Canyon Lanes is a nice place to go bowling, especially because of the way the bowling lanes are laid out. One thing I really appreciate is that the lanes are split on opposite sides of the building, giving everyone more room to play and making the overall experience feel less crowded. The lanes are clean, well-maintained, and inviting, which definitely makes a difference when you're looking for a fun outing with family or friends. Unfortunately, the biggest downside is the price! Bowling has traditionally been a fun family activity, but at these prices, it's becoming a luxury. Most working families can only get together on Friday or Saturday nights, which unfortunately are also the most expensive times to go bowling. At $50 per lane, you're already spending a considerable amount before you even factor in bowling shoes. Those shoe rentals are an additional expense that can quickly add up when you're taking the whole family. The concession stand offers pizza, popcorn, nachos, pretzels, and other snacks, but be prepared for those prices, too! Between bowling, shoe rentals, food, and drinks, the total can get out of hand very quickly. If you're planning a Friday or Saturday night bowling trip with the family, be prepared to spend $200-$300 or more for a few hours of entertainment, depending on your group size and what you purchase. Overall, Morongo Canyon Lanes offers a clean, well-kept bowling environment with a convenient layout and plenty of space to enjoy the game. I just wish the prices were more family-friendly. Bowling should be an activity families can enjoy together without feeling like they've spent their entire entertainment budget on one night out! My recommendation: It's worth checking out, but look into weekday specials or discounts if you want to save money. The bowling experience is enjoyable; it's the cost that takes some of the fun away.

I set up the reservation online and it was pretty easy. Parking is plentiful and easily accessible. Walking in it is very clean and everything is spread out and clean. At the front desk we checked in, got our lane and shoes and gave our preferences for pizza and drink. (Our package was the lane for an hour for up to 6 bowlers, shoe rental, 1 large pizza, and a pitcher of soda for $90) Our lane was easy to find, it had my name on the screen above it, the kids loved that! The tables were clean, and large enough for us all to fit. The ball return was fast, and the pins never got jammed. It was nice to be able to decide which bowlers got bumpers, and when when. Our little one started with them and after one frame decided she didn't want them anymore so we were able to use the screen to turn them off. Everyone was pretty spaced out and not on top of eachother. It was really nice. Since it was cosmic bowling, music and lights were on, it made it more fun and we had a great time. The pizza was kinda gross, and gave three out of the five of us a stomachache. The restrooms were a little messy, but not terrible. It was a little offputting that in one of the stalls the divider in the toilet paper dispenser was missing and you could see right into the next stall directly at the toilet. That definitely needs to be fixed. As a parent it made me very uneasy to send my daughter's in there. All in all we like to come bowling here, its always a good time.

I took my guitar to Repair Land after another local musician told me it was the only place in the desert that worked on guitars. I later learned that wasn't true. When I walked into the shop, it appeared more like a personal living space than a professional repair facility. I left my guitar for service and, when I picked it up, I was disappointed to find that very little seemed to have been done. The issues I brought it in for were largely unchanged, and I felt that the quality of the work did not justify the cost or effort. After that experience, I attended the guitar festival on Miles Avenue in Indio and spoke with several musicians and vendors. To my surprise, a number of people I spoke with did not recommend Repair Land and shared their own negative opinions and experiences regarding the business. Because the owner has publicly claimed to work on a very large number of instruments each month, some of us became curious about the level of activity at the shop. A vehicle equipped with a camera was parked on the public street nearby over several days, and based on what was observed during that time, there appeared to be very little customer traffic coming and going. Obviously, everyone can draw their own conclusions, but between my personal experience, the feedback I heard from other musicians at the guitar show, and what I observed afterward, I would not trust this shop with another instrument. I would strongly encourage musicians to explore other repair options in the Coachella Valley before making a decision.

Fixed multiple guitars, high end acoustics and electrics, great pricing…read more Great communication great service, everything done well. A real musicians eye to what he does.
