THE DRIVE: Location, location, location... The Morongo Band of Mission Indians have been developing their freeway adjacent property for the last decade and Morongo Casino's location couldn't be better. Roughly 90 minutes from LA, Morongo's glittering new hotel beckons drivers on the 10 freeway to pull over and try their luck. Have a spouse or friend who doesn't like to gamble? Drop them off at the awesome Cabazon outlet mall next door!

THE PARKING: Brand new covered parking, swift valet service. Costs a couple bucks, but you get a discount with your players card.

THE CASINO: Morongo Casino Resort & Spa (formerly Casino Morongo) has been around for over a decade. What used to be a fun stop along the way to Palm Springs has become an resort destination that rivals any Las Vegas Casino: A brand new casino and spa, a beautiful hotel, state of the art bowling alley, and world class entertainment.

It seems that Morongo is focused on bringing in LA's young set (it feels very much like Vegas' Hard Rock or Palms Casino) with ultra hip decor, slamming nightclubs and over 100 table games. They also have an awesome poker room with daily tournaments. The slots are new and mostly high denominations, lots of 15-20 line video machines set to nickel or quarter minimums which is a little steep for the average player. Until recently, they didn't even carry penny machines but I am pleased to report they have put in a few. My guess is that Morongo wants you to enjoy it's other activities and isn't targeted to the players who want to simply sit at the same machine for hours on end... there are plenty of lower end casinos for that!

THE FOOD: We'll be reviewing the Casino restaurants on our next trip. In the meantime, we recommend checking out Hadley Fruit Orchards next door for fresh California fruits and nuts!

THE STAFF: Friendly and efficient.

THE ODDS: I have not had much luck at the new casino, but the atmosphere is so pleasing it doesn't dampen my mood.

THE PAYLINE: If you're looking for a high end Vegas experience minutes from LA, Morongo is your best bet!

Morongo Casino, Monday, 20 August 2007

Written by CurtMiz   -  View all my reviews  - Top 10 Reviewer

Good location, just off the 10 freeway and good parking structure. I would compare the food similar to eating at the mall (fast food....ugh). Non-smoking room is so small, you can't get the variety of machines in the main casino. Have hit some sizable jackpots. Rather crowded, due to the fact they accept 18 year olds. Will return sometime though.
