Lucky be a lady tonight! I use to love watching the original Pechanga commercial staring MY MAN Frank Sinatra's song. If you ever have the thirst for a real hotel and casino experience similar to Las Vegas or Lake Tahoe, go to Pechanga. Located in the IE near where the 15 meets the 215 freeway. Normally, you will probably will never go to Temecula. If you don't want to drive to Vegas, stop by this diamond in the desert. Poker room is intense. This is the only poker room I've ever seen that was filled with hardcore poker fans, besides Commerce casino. It is a large open area upstairs with TVs all the way around plus one big projector in the middle that shows Monday Night Football games. On weekdays, there is usually a tournament or special promotion going on. Like "Rack Attack" where a table is picked at random and $100 is added in the poker pot each hour. There are also high hand drawings for money. As you can tell I've spent some time "working" here funding my college lifestyle back in the day. I highly recommend getting a rewards card because you get about dollar per hour in rewards playing poker (probably higher comps for slots and other table games). You can use the comps to easily buy food or items at Pechanga, maybe get a free room. The food and service in the poker room is excellent and inexpensive, so you never have to get up. You can also get free soda, water, and coffee (not alcohol). So enjoy a free drink with your poker game or meal. The Casino floor is easily the size of large lodge hotel in Lake Tahoe. You may get lost. If you were to find this casino by accident, you cannot tell this is an Indian Casino. This place blows Kid-go, I mean Morongo out of the water! Pechanga is 21 and over so no babies. I like how the poker room is upstairs across from The Silk Club, so you can have a nice "view" while waiting for your poker table. The upstairs is very colorful with columns that change colors every few minutes. This oval shaped walkway has elegant staircases that looked down at a bar/ lounge area. This part looks amazing, at least to me. Its like a watering whole for bar hoppers and clubbers. So, while your girl shakes her money maker you can join the men in the poker room. Ladies also welcome in the poker room. Don't worry men are use to losing there money, so dress up in your best outfit and put amateur poker players to shame! There are also a lot of fine dining areas. I have not had a chance to try many of them. I like Kelsey's, you can read my review. There is also a Food Court area if you look carefully. Its a bit hidden. The food is good better than Morongo. If you are cheap, after the food court hit up Eagle's Lounge on the top of the hotel. Its a bar and lounge with a small dance area and no cover charge, so its FREE! High recommend! See you there and Lucky be a Lady tonight!
