I picked up my morning java jolt at either Blends Coffee & Wine Bar or Temptations Food Court, both featuring homemade baked goods and snacks. During my stay, I ate at Kelsey’s, Paisano’s, Bamboo and Journey’s End all easy to recommend. Other options include, Asian, Italian, burgers, plus an award winning buffet. There are 15 restaurants to choose from, ranging from the award winning Great Oak Steak House to the pastries and snacks in the food court. There’s still plenty to keep you and your family busy besides gambling. The service personnel were attentive and the dealers and floor managers set a professional atmosphere.
Although knocked out 1.5 hours later, it was satisfying to compete.
I played in a Hold ‘em tournament and was surprised to see about 100 players on a Tuesday morning. Make sure you sign up for the Player’s Club (there’s a free slot spin for joining). It has more than 4,500 state-of-the-art slot machines, over 150 table games, a 24 hour non-smoking poker room, off track betting lounge, high limit play area, and a 700 seat hi-tech bingo parlor. Their expansion includes new luxury guest rooms and suites, meeting and event space, new restaurants, and an exceptional day spa.įor me, the casino is the crown jewel of the place. The AAA Four Diamond award-winning Pechanga Resort Casino is a short drive north from San Diego, in the wine country of Temecula.
