The list of luxury amenities goes on, with The Cove, a massive 4.5-acre pool complex; 275,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor event and meeting space; 12 restaurants; a 1,200-seat theater; a 3,000-seat events center; an 18 hole, championship golf course, a two-story 25,000 square foot full-service spa, and several entertainment venues complete the package - but you'll come for the games.

The mass gaming floor boasts over 200,000 square feet of gaming space, including a 12,700 square foot non-smoking casino floor, a 14,700 sq ft High Limit salon, an Off-Track Betting parlor with free admission, and a modern 700-seat bingo facility, giving it a claim to the largest casino floor in the western United States. In addition to well over 4,000 slots and other electronic gaming machines, the massive gaming floor featuures 154 gaming tables offering everything from blackjack to their house-named craps offering that uses two cards to determine the roll out, with limits for everyone.

The architecture of the casino is a happy melding of Frank Lloyd Wright styles with cultural themes of the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians. Casino gaming and poker are open 24/7 for those 21 and older. This is a must-visit for those who enjoy 4-star facilities.
