Pechanga Resort & Casino

Came here for the YB concert a few weeks ago and although the concert was so amazing I can just cry right now. the casino itself was whatever to me but to be fair I’m no casino expert. heck, I don’t even gamble.
The food court was sad and overpriced as expected but at least it was a smoke-​free zone because everywhere in the casino reeked of cigarettes that gave me a migraine at the end of the night.
They do have a huge parking structure (free) so that was nice and all their bathrooms were well maintained and surprisingly very clean. The drive here was horrendous and although seeing YB (my favorite korean band) was so worth all the negatives that night. I’ll prob never come back here again.

Come here often to morongo not a bad casino being that it’s close to me good slots card games place to hang out have avoid time wish they had T. V’s in the Bingo Hall oh well

This place is gigantic for an Indian Gaming Casino. Wife and I got lost a few times as there are multiple sections. Lots of slot machines of all denominations. New card members get a chance to win free slot play from $ 5 on up at the first machine they play on. Of course the wife and I got the minimum $ 5 as expected! Most casinos don’t have such sophisticated programming entered in to each machine, you usually have to go to a designated spin area or card member rewards machine — innovative…
Wife won, I lost, we both had fun at a net loss of $ 40 for six hours. Not bad although we were both way ahead at one point. Adult video games!
Had lousy cell phone service throughout the casino. Suggest a designated meeting spot if you get separated in such a gigantic place.

I had a great time! Yes it smells like smoke when you walk in but there is a smoke free section. Although my return on the electronic craps machine went down the drain (My fault – didn’t know when to quit and there was this one guy who was making everyone lose and wouldn’t leave) I had a great time!
Much older crowd but that doesn’t bother me. You go here to gamble and have fun doing so!
Lot’s of slot machines!!! Pennies, nickels (some), and quarters, Didn’t stay in the hotel so this review is just for the Casino.
Great times! Pechanga send me some hotel discounts so I can come back sooner!!! LOL

My parents went to the Pechanga casino. They had a terrible experience with the staff/​security! My dad played one of the slot machines which was not occupied to begin with and he won $ 214-that’s what the ticket said. However, he went to cash it in, security comes up to him and says that the money belongs to some woman who had previously played that same slot machine before him! It was all very confusing to my parents– who were forced to hand over whatever money he cashed in. They felt disconcerted because of security hovering over them-​with absolutely no good reason. They couldn’t enjoy themselves comfortably. Discrimination comes into question here. My parents will not be going back. I give this place a 2 star.

SO many slots… More than you can ever play… but at least TRY to!
Just be Careful… there are a few banks of slots that are «popular»
and people will glare at you and even yell at you if they think that
you are even THINKING of waiting for one of them… stay clear of
these people, they can be nasty…
The Buffet is nice, clean, with a lot of choices… Great Chicken Soup
and the best crème brulle In California
The hotel is beautiful and when construction is done, it will give you
a much better chance at getting a room!

I’ve been coming here for years, only to the casino, and I finally decided to take advantage of the complimentary room they gave me. The room was excellent so was the front desk staff. I feel bad because I forgot if his name was Aaron or Andrew. Anyway he was so patient trying to find the right floor for me since there was a party on the higher level and a construction on the lower ones. He asked if I mind taking the smoking floors. I actually smoke but I was worried the room would smell really bad and he guaranteed that it wouldn’t. I was so surprised that I didn’t smell anything bad in a smoking room, it smelt so fresh. He was right house keeping was excellent. Will definitely take advantage of the free rooms again.

I always have a good time at Pechanga, win or lose. Slots range from penny machines to high limit where you can risk it all. Both are fun, I’ve won and lost plenty on both. There’s a nonsmoking section tucked away behind the main bar.
They have all the tables you’d want as well, roulette, blackjack, 3 card poker. My favorite is the poker room upstairs. I personally like $ 1-​$ 2 no limit, there’s no pressure and I like a friendly game.
Valet is accommodating, bathrooms are always spotless. This is the local casino to visit. They’ve got it all and it’s always clean and busy. No complaints from here.

not a casino fan, but pechanga is ok.
lots of machines for people to play.
pretty good drink service and helpful staff.

This has to be my favorite casino in California, its laid out well and its huge! Great place to bring out of town guests to entertain. I cant wait till the new pool renovation

I really like this place it’s always clean, maybe a little crowded. But it’s a clean well taking care of place outstanding bathrooms and good table service this is my wife’s favorite place to be at when it comes to local casinos. And they always send me coupons and vouchers 2 invite me back

We came here Friday for the weekend for the Temecula balloon and wine festival. Chilling and playing slots while waiting for the wineries to open for some wine tasting. Very clean and good service. The breakfast menu and buffet was quite good. The dinner buffet had a large variety to choose from.
A good alternative for Las Vegas if you live in the South Bay area.

For what I was expecting, this casino wasn’t too shabby. I live in Vegas, so I wasn’t expecting this casino to be great exterior and interior wise. I was actually quite surprised how nice it was inside. The staff was nice and attentive as well. We were lost on where to eat and one of the security guards helped us and was incredibly polite! He wasn’t rushing us or anything. I am a bit intrigued on what the rooms would be like, but so far from what I saw, it was nice and clean.

Wow! This is a really nice, clean, up to date casino! I’m just reviewing the casino section and my wife and I both agree it is definetly 5 star worthy. They provide free valet parking, the casino is huge and they provide plenty of games, it is located in a great area, easy parking, the buffet was excellent and all the staff we dealt with were very friendly, helpful and all provided excellent customer service. We really enjoyed our time and plan on coming back for some more fun. For the payout it was not bad, we are realistic and don’t plan on winning a huge amounts, but we did win enough to keep playing for quite a few hours and for us that is a good time.

One of the largest and nicest Indian casinos around. Pretty great place to play blackjack. I recommend coming here if you want some good BJ action. Some tips:
–Seems like almost all tables pay 3:2 on BJ (unlike Vegas); only single deck pays 6:5…pretty good assuming you’re not counting
–Some tables have auto shufflers (CSM), but keep walking around and you’ll find tables with manual shuffling (w/​shoe). Hopefully they don’t increase the percentage of tables with CSMs in the future. I think most of the CSMs are found on $ 5/​$ 10 minimum tables. I saw plenty of $ 15 tables (on weekends) with manual shuffling.
–No resplitting Aces… not ideal but 3:2 BJ makes up for it, in my opinion. You can double on any two cards and double after splitting (good).
–Double down card dealt face up (not a big deal but takes away some of the drama)
–Dealers are pretty good, ranging from stoic to pretty awesome/​friendly. I haven’t encountered a truly sour dealer here yet… can’t say the same about BJ dealers in Vegas.
I can’t comment too much on other games, but it seems like it’s a good place to play other card-​based games if you’re into that (pai gow, 3 card poker, baccarat). They do have roulette and craps, but due to CA rules, they are card based (rather than ball or dice). I’ll pass on that, but ultimately it’s probably healthy for me that they don’t have real craps (not good to fuel my unhealthy craps addiction).
Note: Drinks are NOT free but they are pretty cheap. This is due to CA law (and not because of Pechanga). I’m sure that Pechanga would give out free alcohol if they could (drunk gamblers = reckless bets at the tables = $$$ for the house).

Last night /​this morning me and my girlfriends had a girls night out, we all have never been to Pechanga and decided to be spontaneous and go!
It was about 1:30am and we signed up at the rewards desk, Colton who assisted us was pleasant and had a great sense of humor, he had us all laughing and seemed to really enjoy his position, I say that because he was smiling, had great customer service while his colleagues are assisting next to us with no smiles and looked miserable. Thank you Colton for having just great customer service!
We then went to try our free spin, i ended up winning $ 5 but the machine did not link my free play and it never came up for me to play it. Although that happened, I put in $ 20 in the $ 1 slots and I won $ 101 dollars! This may not be much to all but being this was my very first time here I absolutely enjoyed myself and know for a fact that PECHANGA IS NOT GREEDY!!! people all surrounded us when me and my girlfriends were jumping with joy and asked how much I won, once we said $ 100 they all shrugged and laughed at us and walked away! I didn’t care because $ 100 is something I am grateful for!
Thanks Pechanga for such an amazing first experience, family and friends and I are going to be coming here from now on!!!

I’m in luck because I don’t like to take chances in any kind of gambling. Why? Because the odds are more than likely everything is rigged up for us to lose. Anyhow, this is a good casino to visit for a concert, a stand up comedy show, or the buffet; that is you don’t gamble. There are shops and a hotel at this fancy place. If you do like to take your chances there is plenty of gaming here. Especially if are a smoker or like second hand smoke. If you are not a smoker, they do have a small section somewhere on the side. Overall a nice place to visit.

We don’t gamble so I will say that this comes from that point of view! The thing I love about Pechanga is they have lots of events that are relative unlike some of the local Indian Casinos! That being said we can never even seem to get their early enough so that we can park in the valet area! They block it off to gold or red card holders (no clue what that means other than these people waste too much of their money inside the casino).
Food choices are great, staff seems to not give a care about the patrons sometimes, and yes the smoke smell is SUPER bad! This is coming from an ex-​smoker too! Yuck!

The casino parking stature was under a little construction and they weren’t offering valet parking if your not a red card member. But they did have plenty of self parking which you get shuttled up to the hotel. The shuttle wait isn’t long at all.
But basically this review is for the 8^th annual wine festival on 2÷27÷2016. This was one of the best festival I’ve attended. It was well organized from the beginning to the end. I was so happy to see so many Temecula wineries. Alot I’ve been to and some I haven’t.
The food to sample was excellent and you can sample much as you like. The musical entertainment was amazing. I bought VIP tickets which allows you in a hour before the general public. So i sampled sampled sampled but I also was a little tipsy before the general public was let in a hour later.
I had so much fun and this will definitely be my annual event. I love wine so much I went solo bolo.

My company held their annual holiday party here and this was my first time at Pechanga. First thing you notice at the door is the strong odor of smoke. I’m not a fan of casinos that allow smoking inside. It just makes your eyes burn and you smell for days. Other than that the resort and casino was beautiful. It was much larger than I expected. The entire resort was decorated with beautiful holiday themed decorations. Bars and restaurants located throughout the resort. We also learned they have the largest poker room. You’ll find all your typical casino games, slots, poker, black jack… Etc. They also have a club located upstairs near the ballroom entrance. I didn’t have a chance to check it out but I heard it was a nice club. The line was incredibly long to get in so I assume it was popping off that night.
We had a blast at the party. The severs were on top the food. They offered a Mac and cheese station for one of the appetizers. They also had servers passing out horderves. They passed out bread baskets and the food was really good. We had salmon with carrots and asparagus on a bed of orzo.
Security was on point at the party. We had the entire section blocked off for our party. And we had wrist bands to get in and out.
Overall it was a nice experience but I wouldn’t come back to stay at the resort. I didn’t like the smoke environment.
