  • Preferred airport is Palm Springs Intl. Airport (PSP), about the nearest major airport for guests.

Better if you want Palm Springs walkability, museums and short transfers from PSP.

  • Evening entertainment centers on the casino floor (21+) and the Cabaret Lounge with live performances.
  • Other onsite activities include 21 pickleball courts and golf for active guests.

  • Full-service spa offering massages, body treatments and facials, plus a sauna and hair salon.
