OUR COMMENTS: THIS IS A HOT WATER CASINO as the name suggests... and it is full of very "HOT GAMING". The dining is outstanding with 5 or 6 great eating-places with the top being THE STEAKHOUSE AND THE SAGE.... WOW! As for gaming there isn't anything left to chance with over 1,000 slots, 50 tables and poker seating and at least 10 additional other tables not always busy. NOW WHAT MORE CAN WE WANT...? Well you know, if you have been traveling with us, RV HOOK UPS. NO, NOT THIS YEAR AND MOST LIKELY NOT IN 09. BUT, MAYBE DOWN THE TRAIL. It is sad that we can't rate them higher but you know why.... NO RV stuff.
OUR COMMENTS: Now don't be mislead by this low rating...WE THINK THIS WILL BE A WINNER FOR ALL INVOLVED. It is small but with BIG DREAMS and from what we see it will make the dream come true. There are slots and table games for several hours of fun. Of course no RV Camping but it could come. The dining is good although not a lot of options, but again we think this will come down the road. There are many casinos in the area but this one is friendly and asking for new friends... IT IS WORTH A VISIT! (1-888-PLAY WIN)

OUR COMMENTS: Well, this may well be one of the nicest casinos in Southern California. I know this is bold statement but WOW! It is located in the hills of San Diego in a beautiful valley. The tranquil setting provides for a calm prelude to what comes next, an exciting full of life casino, WOW! The service is outstanding and the staff goes the extra mile to make quests feel welcome. The food was outstanding in the dining room with good prices. The comp. Or point program seems to be very generous.
BUT, NO RV Camping and NO RV Parking. This is a very sad day to have to tell this news. We loved everything about Barona BUT as RVer’s we have to say POOR. We will come back to this casino to play and see what progress is being made toward RV's. I was told by a very highly placed individual that RV Camping is in the future but today you should find a park near and that might be several miles unhook and take your car into the casino. But, by all means, do not miss this casino.

OUR COMMENTS: OK! Things have changed and you can stay over night in the parking lot... GREAT JOB! There is parking in Fortuna about 5 minutes away & RV camping. Now more good news! I guess I will tell you about the dining... it is good with a good quality of food at a very reasonable price. The gaming is also good with lots of options both in slots and at the tables.... BUT, remember there is NO OVER NIGHT PARKING! BUT NOW YOU CAN PARK!
OUR COMMENTS: Start with the good things. Over 1,000 slots and the variety is outstanding. Mary walked around three times before landing at her machine. Me, well I found a table of single deck 21 and played for a short time. I can only give so much money and then I stop. Today was not my lucky day. But as for the casino it is grand. Lots of games both table and slots, with by the way, a smoke free section a casino within in a casino. Very cool! Dining, one of our very favorite things to do in casinos was wonderful. With over 6 different restaurants and a wonderful fine dining spot, Seven Sisters, you can't go wrong eating here. It is, a 24/7 casino and we are welcome to park in the outside lot although NO RV CAMPING.
OUR COMMENTS: NO RV Camping, But hold on..... We just visited and things are changing quickly. The casino just purchased the property next door and by the Spring of 2009 a full service RV park will be established. This is our second visit and the RV park is still in the development states but soon.... GREAT NEWS! Mary and I had a wondertul time visiting with the security department and learned all about the new facilities and the hotel and many other projects. RV parking as of today 07/08 is just that parking but in the Spring make this casino a stop. It is located just minutes off 101 and is a "must stop". We can't give this a high rating until the RV park is complete but if you visit before we get back drop us a note and we will update our info. Very Good food Keep your eyes on this casino it is going places!!!!!!!!
OUR COMMENTS: WOW, if they only had RV HOOK-UPS but no, NO, NO! This is a great casino with a very large playing floor. There are over 100 table games a dozen Texas Hold'em games available at any one-time and single deck games. Low and high limit games and even Baccarat my game. A well-rounded casino but NO RV HOOK-UPS.... Slots, I won't even guess how many as Mary Alice is flying around attempting to see them all.... a great variety. Dining has a selection second to none including those in Las Vegas. I counted 7 different places to eat and the prices are from reasonable to OH, high but the quality looks great. Because this casino has no RV-HOOK-UPS we will drive on about 40 miles to find a place to park. We want Hook-ups, as the weather is hot.
The location of the casino is a little out of the way in BROOKS, CA. But, if you have a good sleep the night before and drive directly in the morning to the casino and spend the day it is a great stop.... NO RV HOOK-UPS 1-888-77CACHE

But, I think this is going to be a good casino down the road and according to people I talked within the casino.

OUR COMMENTS: NO RV Camping but lots of RV parking. They may have plans in the future for RV Camping with hook ups, GREAT! The casino is outstanding and all the games anyone would want to play. Dining is great with several offerings of both light food and fine dining. We could give this a 5 star rating but as RVer's we need hook ups and thus our rating must be a little lower. In Palm Springs there are many RV Camping locations and we will soon have them listed here for your pleasure, but there are also other casinos to visit in the area of Palm Springs.

OUR COMMENTS: LOTS OF SLOTS and Mary was happy here. I don't know the number but we can say that the variety is good and plenty of each kind to search for the big winner. A problem with the table games becomes evident when I tried to play "Craps". Because California is playing hardball with the Indians and if they don't play along there "Crap" games must use cards not the standard dice. NO FUN! Poker had the standard games played with a few tables to search for a winning dealer... Dining was only just ok with only a couple of offerings. Pizza seemed like something different so we tried it and it was good. The buffet looked real good but we stayed with the pizza idea. NO RV CAMPING - some parking available...

OUR COMMENTS: 2008 UPDATE: The first report saw a very small casino on paper and not much going for it........... WOW WHAT A CHANGE Lets start with the outside facility in a word, "beautiful" location on 101 with trees almost all around and the ocean in view from the 10 Star dining room. Well, maybe not 10 star but very very good. RV'ers you have what you need water....NO DUMP and NO Electric but that's OK because the beauty will get you through for a couple of days. BEST OF ALL IT IS FREE!!!! Let us move inside... well at first I was a little "taken aback" by the clerk at the Club membership booth. She was busy and not very friendly but with a little smile I did get her to contact one of the head folks. A very nice young lady appeared and without delay was interested in me and what I wanted to learn about the casino. It turned out that this person, Ms. Jenni Dodd was the Marketing Manager and spent the better part of 30 minutes showing me the facility and talking about future plans and just FULL of wonderful information.... WOW what a great lady. Mary found all the slots she loves and as a matter of fact did very well......... You know I don't talk much about the games only to list them but because Mary was so happy here I will say again the Gaming was good. Let us talk about the food........ We dined at the Sunset Restaurant overlooking a beautiful bay and with the sun setting, now we know the reason for the name.... Sunset Room! Rob Crouch the manager walked around and spoke with the guests in this beautiful setting and he made us feel welcome. The food was wonderful with many sea food specials. The price was up there but worth every dollar. A great selection of wines were served which could be pear with your dinner. Check out the web site for more great information...............MAKE THIS A STOP! The 3 on RV Friendly is because they don't have full hook-ups but remember it is FREE!
OUR COMMENTS: This casino has taken the "high road" and is developing a beautiful casino and resort. Although there is no RV Camping we did feel welcome with our motor home and a visit is a good thing. They have over 2,000 slots and that is next to Las Vegas style casinos. The table games are also plentiful with a great variety of options at over 40 tables. The attitude is wonderful from the staff and we felt right at home and that is important to both of us. Dining like everything else in this casino has variety abounding. I believe we say 7 eating establishments and with great menus. The Vintage Steakhouse was outstanding and I think a first class establishment all the way, both with food and operation. THIS IS A 24/7 CASINO
OUR COMMENTS: WOW! A beautiful casino in a great location but we were told RV'S ARE NOT WELCOME... Now this is only the second time in reviewing several hundred casinos that we have received such a C O L D reception. The other casino was Barbara in Southern California and we did rate that casino because they invited us to stay over night but hoped we could find a place the second night and we did. Oh! We are welcome at Chumash to come and play but we are not welcome to park, even park, in their lots. SO I WILL STOP THE VERY VERY POSITIVE REVIEW HERE.... You call them and see for yourself. We are sick about this.

OUR COMMENTS: Lets start with what they have and it is lots of gaming. Over 50,000 sq. feet. of floor space given to the pleasure of gaming. Very nice set up with a complete casino including Pai-Gow, which is not always offered at Indian casinos. Dining is a good bet here at Colusa Indian Casino. Wintun Dinner house provides a great quality at a reasonable prices, along with a Buffet and a Lounge this casino has it all, well almost NO RV CAMPING - NO HOOK-UPS. I wish they would learn.

OUR COMMENTS: NO RV CAMPING AND NOT MUST OF A PLACE TO EVEN PARK OUR RIG.... The location is wonderful and the plans for the future sound great but today I would say DON'T STOP. The new Director of Marketing is wonderful, Ms. L.A. Brown but has a daunting task before her that of promotion a "whole in the wall casino". I think in a year or two this casino will make the map and be a place to stop. Let me restate that.... I would stop just to see the progress and maybe just maybe you can help me update this information as the progress goes forward. GOOD LUCK Ms. L.A. Brown
OUR COMMENTS: W O W! This mighty little casino may not have much in the way of fine dining or massive numbers of slots but it has RV HOOKS UPS with electric only. We will take it. This maybe the first casino we have found with this situation but because of the location it is worth a visit. The casino has a few slots and Mary Alice did find a good one to play. Cards are limited to 3 & 4 card Poker at the tables with a few Blackjack dealers. There is a little Texas Hold'em and the games are friendly. Food is something that we did without and we eat in the motor home as we only stayed for a couple of hours. Electric POWER AT THE RV SITE
OUR COMMENTS: NO RV CAMPING Slots, lots of them the web site stated over 1,400 and I believe it and they even had Mary Alice's best pick... No I won't tell you what she likes as you may play it and win her jackpot. Poker is in full DEAL here at Eagle Mountain although the table minimum is $3.00 and I was surprised to see that. I like the $2.00 tables but they are harder and harder to find. Blackjack, Pai-Gow and of course Texas Hold'Em are played and the Hold'Em is played in a card room. I always forget for you bingo players to mention the bingo and of course this casino has a large area for bingo. Dining has something we don't see often or taste either and that is TEX-MEX and we like it a lot. It is a little hot for you wimps but we love it. So we tried the Oak Tree and were please with the fare. The cost was reasonable and the food good. The Acorn Room is an up scale dining and it looks good but we took the Oak Tree this time. If you use the Oak Tree drop us a note and rate the food. 1-800-903-3353 NO RV HOOK-UPS DRIVING HERE IS NOT TO BAD IT IS OFF 99 IN PORTERVILLE
OUR COMMENTS: Very small area for RVer's No camping and local RV parks closed during our visit 2006. Food was poor to fair, not much positive here although the area is beautiful and well worth a visit if nothing else but to see the great California coastline. The web site for Elk Valley Casino mentions an RV Resort called Hiouchi RV Resort but we were unable to locate it during our visit. I believe it was washed out to sea during the last big winter or something like that. SORRY! 1-888-574-2744 Elk Valley Casino. So no RV camping but some RV parking.

OUR COMMENTS: RV Camping at the KOA campground next to the casino... This is wonderful with the park for the family and the gaming for the adults... it all works for most RVer's. We seldom travel with the grand kids but this would be a good stop if they were with us during this trip. Slots are quality and in great number and I believe there are over 900 slots and most of the valued games are included in their selection. In the Big Room they play Texas Hold'em and no limit Omaha as well as Seven Card Stud. Tournaments for Texas Hold'em are often and full of excitement. Blackjack is also played at the tables with single deck and 3-card poker. Dining at the Dream catcher Buffet is good with a great selection and fair quality. The hours seem to be limited to 4pm to 10pm Wednesday through Saturday. The Village Cafe is open 24/7 for breakfast - lunch - dinner with reasonable prices. REMEMBER R V CAMPING and it is a KOA operation so the prices are a little high but we hope the casino will address this in the future and put the prices more in line with regular RV parks, but for us a camping place with a casino is just almost heaven.
OUR COMMENTS: This is a new casino and although it is starting small I think it will be a big player in the casino game. For starters it made a statement with a casino 24/7. Slots are a full service casino with what I think is near 1,000. Blackjack from a 6-deck shoe and double deck. Not bad for a start but I like single deck but it wasn't bad at all. Three Card Poker (3) and Caribbean Stud Poker, and they have NO LIMIT poker games as well. This casino just outside San Diego will be on the map soon and a place to stop... Dining leaves nothing to be concerned about. If you are on a roll they will deliver your food to the table or the machine. COOL! But the food from the Golden Grill is just OK nothing to write home about. It will fill the empty space, but just. But remember this is a growing Casino and I would put money on the FACT it will improve greatly. BUT NO RV CAMPING & NO HOOK-UPS
YOU SHOULD READ THEIR WEB SITE TO LEARN ABOUT THEIR HISTORY GREAT JOB! Give us your thoughts after you visit. I know we will return and soon.
OUR COMMENTS: WOW! I know what you are thinking but it isn't true. This casino is not in Lake Havasu City AZ., but rather on the other side of the lake in California. It has many of the important things we want as RVer's. Yes, it has camping from $15.00 per night to $30.00 per night and it is good not great, but good. It is on the lake and has all we need, water-sun-blue sky. The casino is not a full time casino it has limited hours but it works out just fine for most of the RVer's. The food is good in a small cafe on the water with a wonderful view of Lake Havasu.
OUR COMMENTS: Very nice looking casino Hopland Sho-ka-wah. Lets look at Slots, with almost 25 different games and of course several in each design amounting to over 400 machines as I count. The table games include, Blackjack, Let It Ride Poker, Fortune Pai-Gow Poker, and of course 3 Card Poker. Live Omaha hi/lo and NO Limit and $3-$6 Texas Hold'em Poker. Not much missing from this line up and more to come. Dining in the Player's Steakhouse is a good experience. The food here was good and we rate it well above average. The hours are as any good steakhouse, limited but well worth fitting into your schedule. 1-888-746-5292

OUR COMMENTS: You will have to work to find this casino but I think you will be happy you did. Between Sacramento and Stockton off the I-5 take 88 North and you will find Jackson. Check out the map. This is a 24/7 casino with plenty of opportunities to be a winner. Table games include all the Las Vegas type games with new clean tables. Also BIG Raise Hold'Em... you could win! Dining has lot of offerings from a food court to Bronze Eagle Restaurant including cafe style eating. NO RV facilities but using the parking in lot #4 is ok as usual. Into the casino and up the hill on the left is lot # 4 the "49 Trailer Park" on highway 49 in the town of Plymouth is a great park and only about 15 minutes by car. Call the casino for more info. 800-822-9466 (WINN). This tribe of Miwuk Indians have done a great job with their properties and only in a few years.

OUR COMMENTS: The Konocti Vista Casino is located in the Clear Lake area one of California's most beautiful lakes. They have a marina for your boat that is if you are pulling a boat behind your RV or have a boat on top of the car. The casino and resort has conventions facilities if your RV club would like a great place to stay and play. You have the lake and a casino, what more could one ask for in family fun. The casino has a full service bar and restaurant as well as what we think is important, an RV PARK. This casino as mentioned above is on Clear Lake in the city of Lakeport California, and you can click on our link for directions. Call: 1-707-262-1900 for the casino and RV Park.
OUR COMMENTS: This is great area to visit in Northern California on highway 101. The casino has lots of charm but again NO RV Camping, but hold on, building has started on the parking covers and the hotel is right behind. John the casino manager said that the RV park will be on the highway in the lot behind the gas station and that will work great. The food was outstanding (5+) and prices very reasonable. I hope you consider this casino and area and even without hook ups a day or even overnight would work well for most of us traveling North or South on 101. RV CAMPING WILL SOON ARRIVE...........SO VISIT SUMMER 09

OUR COMMENTS: RV CAMPING NO but down in Oceanside, or Temecula there is camping... Slots, a spectacular display of the best and the latest slots in the country are here at Pala Casino in Southern California. The paper work for the players club says that there are 2,500 slots but I think there are many many more. Table games are more inviting than most of the casino games in Laughlin and there are maybe 75 tables. The games include Blackjack, Pai-gow, Baccarat, Three and Four card poker, Let It Ride Bonus Poker, Single Deck and 6-deck shoe and the list goes on. Dining includes 10 count them, ten good quality eating places with a great selections of both style and taste and of course a price range for all budgets. RV PARKING IS PERMITTED
OUR COMMENTS: THIS IS THE TACHI PALACE (The Palace Indian Gaming Center) NO RV HOOK-UPS Slots, yep! This place has thousands slots and Mary Alice is pleased as punch. She found her favorite and played for several hours. Me on the other hand attempted to find a table game that I would win at but oh well we move on... Lots of table games to play but not my special game so I settled for Blackjack and that was good. Four-card poker is played here which I haven't seen often so that was fun. Dining left something to be desired. The hours are short at best from our view and the food was only ok. I will say that they, the casino, is growing and I think that the food situation will improve as it grows. The Coyote Grille was good but we have had better. NO RV HOOK-UPS 1-866 4 PALACE The location is a ways off 99 but worth the drive.
OUR COMMENTS: RV FACILITIES.... Get a free night with a new players card. This facility has all one needs for a retirement spot and more. We could live here, but NO, we must continue on. Internet access FREE in and nearby the clubhouse. There are 25 pull through spaces with 168 total having 20/30/50amp service. THEY HAVE GOT IT RIGHT! Regarding prices.... $32.00 per night Sunday-Thursday with 10% additional off with Good Sam card and other cards. Friday-Saturday and Holidays $42.00 less 10% discount cards... It is high but what a place! CALL FOR RESERVATIONS A MUST 1-877-997-8386 it has become difficult to give an objective picture of casino after casino when they are all SO VERY GREAT! California casinos have created an industry that is second to none and Pechanga is at the top of the list. With 188,000 sq. feet of gaming words will not describe the picture only you seeing it for yourself...THIS IS A MUST STOP! Casino Info: 1-877-711-2WIN the area of Temecula Valley holds lots of opportunity to see the beauty of Southern California. This beauty include wine tasting from some of the best California wines and fishing, camping, hiking, etc, but how do you leave this beautiful casino? Dining is beyond words. There are some many great restaurants that I can only say spend a week and you will have tried them all, but short of a week you will have miss several.

OUR COMMENTS: OK, here's the deal... right now they have 2 or 3 spots but because a fire break went through the area the sites are poor but by spring they will be up and running with a great place to park for two or three days and AT NO COST.... The casino is small but full of exciting games and well worth a overnight visit. There are plenty of slots and some table games. It is, Pit River Casino, located outside of Redding in some beautiful California country. The casino has very limited hours but that will change as the gaming grows. Dining is well, NO MUCH but I believe it will grow with the casino. RV CAMPING take you best shot for an overnight visit!

OUR COMMENTS: Well, lets start with this is HARRAH'S Casino. Now granted it is not Las Vegas or any of the other major Harrah's Casino but make no mistake about it, it is a Harrah's Casino. Slots, about 1500 or more and I don't believe any have been left out of the collection. Mary Alice loves all of it... Table also are above the standard, although I must say more and more casinos have the full selections of table games and of course Harrah's is not be left out. Pai-Gow, Blackjack, Three Card Poker and Baccarat and the list goes on forever. Dining again places this casino above almost all the regular great Indian Casinos because it has (8) eight places for dining. From the Cabana Cove grill style to the very nice Asian Cuisine and including the Fiore a very wonderful menu that causes me to taste the food again as I write. This is a little on the $$$ side but well worth the money. Certified Angus always causes both Mary Alice and I to eat at that house, because her brother raises Black Angus in Tennessee and we must buy to help the family and of course because it maybe the very best red meat on the market today. San Diego has a lot to offer and this casino is well worth the visit. BUT!

OUR COMMENTS: A BEAUTIFUL LOCATION BUT NO R V CAMPING! Just this year 2008 the Casino purchased in the City of Alexander an RV park and will start operating transportation for RV campers. This could have been our BEST experience ever in a casino... well not ever but GREAT. From the parking lot guys to the Casino Manager, Rolando Cardona, our treatment was wonderful. YOU MUST STOP AND VISIT and it is only and hour North of San Fran. on highway 101 a beautiful drive after traveling through the city. Gaming is outstanding and a full compliment of slots and table games. Nothing has been left out for slots players or table games players. Dining is another outstanding aspect of this quality casino. Quail Run Restaurant has a full menu with reasonable price and a fine array of foods to choose from. Good wine list as well as quality wines. The High Roller Bar is smoke free and has sandwiches and drinks. CHECK OUT THE WEB SITE - THEY ARE GROWING! Give the casino a call to check on the transportation situation before you pass the village of Alexander on 101. As you know in California and in most States the signs for Native American Casinos is poor another way for the "NON NATIVE AMERICANS CAN CONTROL THE NATIVE AMERICANS". Call uss or call the casino for directions or best of call GET ON THEIR WEB SITE.... BY THE WAY THE 3 RATING IN THE OVERALL IS BECAUSE THE RV PARK IS NOT OPERATING AS OF 07/08 BUT SOON....
OUR COMMENTS: YES AN RV CAMPING PLACE... YES, YES! I am sorry for the over the type reaction as I record our many casino from our last trip. So many have nothing in the way of facilities for RVer's and this one does... SO GREAT! We found about 500 slots although the web site said 600 so I can't count. This was enough to keep Mary Alice busy for hours as I walked around to the tables. The casino is 24/7 with some limits and has many of the great table games including Single Deck games. The limited hours may change shortly, we hope. Dining is limited with only the snack bar open 24 hours, but the hours are ok for most of us. Buffet and Grill are good with the standard menu. Prices are good and the soup and salad bar are outstanding.
RVer's HOOK-UPS
NOW FOR THE GOOD NEWS.......... With the casino being ok and the area of Northern California being beautiful this is a place to stop for a few days maybe a week or more. Clear Lake is here and a beauty. The RV park has over 60 sites and has showers and a boat ramp for the boaters. ONLY ONE PROBLEM THE CASINO IS 2.4 MILES AWAY BUT DON'T LOST HOPE... THE CASINO WILL PICK US UP! You better call for reservations a month or two before you plan to come as this is a great location.... (707) 274-5531

OUR COMMENTS: A NICE LOOKING CASINO and lots of games to play. 1-888-331-6400 THERE IS AN RV PARK RIGHT NEXT DOOR SO WE CAN SAY THE WORDS RV CAMPING WITH FULL HOOK-UP Slots are plentiful and many different machines from .1 to $5.00. Poker and table games are also all the standards including Pai-Gow and Texas Shootout Poker. Dining is good with the Timers Steakhouse for a dinner and a nice wine selection proves a good option. The Timber Restaurant for breakfast also proved to be good. So all in all it was a good place to stop and spend a day and night. The location for this casino is good if you are on I-5 or if you wish to drive over from 99. But from 99 it is a bit of a drive, North to Red Bluff and then South on I-5 so I would think like you might skip it this trip if on 99 and make sure you plan for the next trip to stop for the night. RV HOOK-UP NEXT DOOR just a short walk....
OUR COMMENTS: Located in the heart of San Bernardino against the mountains a beautiful casino. It seems like an unlikely place driving toward the casino but when we arrived we were pleasantly surprised. It is a beautiful very large casino... NO RV HOOK-UPS
When we say large, this casino fits the bill. There are over 2,000 slots and without question every slot ever made can be found here, well almost. The poker is 24 hours a day and always full at any hour. How we know a little about this casino is, Mary Alice and I watched it grow from a bingo hall into this fantastic casino. We lived for years in the mountains above this casino, well not directly but near and we know the growing pains they went through. Dining is very good with a large variety of options. The quality of the food could be better at least for our tastes, but the food areas are always full so maybe that's just us. There is a large parking area with lots of security so overnight parking is safe but not great. Maybe just maybe they will think of the RVer's next design move.

OUR COMMENTS: NO RV CAMPING.... Gaming is good with the standard Las Vegas style slots and most of the Vegas table games. Table games include Pai-Gow Tiles, Pan 9 Fast and 21st Century Blackjack and of course Texas Hold'em and 7 Card Stud. 24/7 casino Dining at the Broiler Restaurant is great with a creative chef and a wonderful menu. This casino does serve a tableside meal with a limited menu but not a bad deal for the hard-core player. Also, for snacks there is a snack bar with sandwich and drinks.
OUR COMMENTS: Slots with about 400 plus and most of the ones we see in major casinos. Blackjack is the only table game played here and that limits my interest, but for Mary Alice slots are in play. Video Keno and Video poker are among the slot games. Bingo was halted and still is not operational and it looks as if it may not be in the near future. Dining is limited to Angelina's Cafe but not a great deal to tell about here. This casino could be missed if it were not for the beautiful drive on Highway 101 in Northern California. Don't make a special trip but stop if in the area.
NO RV HOOK-UPS
Park in the overflow parking with the big rigs... POOR
OUR COMMENTS: NO RV HOOK-UPS Well, another very nice casino with limited access for RVer’s. We can find RV parks in Hemet about a 15-minute drive. The casino will run a bus over and pick us up if we call in advance. I am not sure how much time we have to give them but a call is necessary. Now to the casino! Gaming here at Soboba is ok with a boatload of slots and a good number of table games. Dining includes three restaurants and the food is ok, well the deli we included as a restaurant. There is a large Sports Bar for drinks with several TV's so at any time a game can be seen. NO RV HOOK-UPS

OUR COMMENTS: This is another example of and outstanding casino in a great location but no RV facilities, thus we cannot give out our top 5 rating in all areas. Palm Springs there are plenty of RV Camping locations it would be easy to locate neat this casino. We will locate a name in the near future for your overnight stay here in Palm Springs. If you pull a car you will have no problems and we would suggest you not miss this casino. The Spa Resorts including Agua Caliente Casino a great stop for a week or two, NOT IN THE SUMMER unless you like the heat. Summer is good as far as RV resorts and camping but remember the heat.
OUR COMMENTS: This is a Trump Casino and we can't hold that against the operations either in quality or value. This is a very good Casino with all the qualities of the very best casinos in the United States. We could not eat at the 5 Star restaurant because of the name... to bad for me. Mary Alice will not eat at a restaurant with the name of a snake no matter how many stars it has received. So, we eat at the Cafe Capitata a very good buffet open 24/7 and special prime rib dinner served from 5:00pm until 10:00pm and that's what I had. VERY GOOD! Gambling is second to none in the world of casinos. All the games all the slots and including regular tournaments.

OUR COMMENTS: A GREAT WEB SITE.... ALMOST AS GOOD AS OURS.... NO RV HOOK-UPS Slots, well there are plenty and more than I can deal with so although Mary Alice finds all she needs. I am a little bit tired of the money falling into the player’s pocket. Not the money but the sounds.... I think I need a rest from our tour. OH WELL on we go. Poker, which is a major draw including the W.P.T., Word Poker Tour, is played here so lots of gaming. Dining has limited hours and if you are a 24-hour player, you will have to settle for the sandwiches etc. during late hours. There are lots of options for regular dining and the fare looks real good. We did not eat here as we needed to find a place to say for the night. The parking lot will take RVs but not a good option. We will let you know in the near future if we find a good place in El Cajon to park the RV.

OUR COMMENTS: NO RV HOOK-UPS Lots of Slots.... with full Vegas style of machines including draw poker machines, which both Mary Alice and I enjoy. Table games include Three Card Poker and Spanish 21 and of course Blackjack and there is lots of room around the tables not packed in like some casinos. Dining at the Mountain-Eagles Landing is a good option. The food here was good and the price was reasonable. They have a senior buffet and that price was GREAT but only on Monday & Thursday we hit it just right. LOCATION IS A PROBLEM: located off 99 California several miles 1-800-541-3637 you can find camping at Millerton Lake State Park, a California State Park but reservations are a must to insure camping spaces and that in California is always a problem. Use the casino lot parking and attempt to get a space at the state park.
OUR COMMENTS: NO RV CAMPING......... This casino has everything you could want in a casino with lot and lots of slots over 80,000 square feet not just in slots of course. There are table games of every type and the Tachi Casino has developed a wonderful design for the players. Pai-Gow, Blackjack, 3 & 4 Card Poker and Fortune Pai-Gow. A special poker with of course Texas Hold'em. Dining is ok but could be a little better. The buffet was good with plenty of options and the Rez Dog Cafe gave another option for fast food.

OUR COMMENTS: RVer's ARE NOT WELCOME... NO CAMPING AND NO PARKING WOW! This is a sad day. I can tell you how beautiful the casino is and what wonderfully dining they have but WHY? We are not welcome.... so NO IMFORMATION from Mary Alice and I about this casino... it breaks my heart. Call them and give your thoughts... 1-877-468-8777
OUR COMMENTS: RV OVER NIGHT BUT NO CAMPING AND NO HOOK UPS.... This Napa Valley casino is full of surprises. It is just North of Napa and of course if you are in the Napa Valley this casino is a must. Slot play has a good variety and with penny to five-dollar slots you will find something that fits you desires. The table games are limited but include Pai-Gow and of course Blackjack. The Pai-Gow is the dice and card game, which I don't care for but it is played here. Dining is limited and with NO Camping this casino is a drive by, just stay for a couple of hours of fun. The staff is friendly and seems interested in what we are doing and playing... A good place for a few hours. Camping in Clear Lake is possible check with the area maps. There is RV Camping AT COBB MOUNTAIN AND IN CLEAR LAKE both about 15 minutes away from the casino.

OUR COMMENTS: This San Diego destination is well worth your time. They have TWO, what a deal, RV parks/camping. One is just down the street on the reservation and the other down and across the road. Both have full hook ups and also they wish you to know that you can park in the casino lot for 72 hours. This is casino has all the Las Vegas type machines and tables. The several dining facilities are good tasting and certainly worth taking a meal. The location of Viejas Casino is just off the I-8 Freeway making for a fast get away after you win the big one!

OUR COMMENTS: This has NO RV CAMPING AND NO HOOK-UPS... But, what it has is not bad. Almost 1,000 slots of all kinds and Mary Alice loved them. For me it has Blackjack with plenty of dealers to pick from. Some of us like certain individuals to deal or at least we think that will help our game, it doesn’t. Three card (3) poker and of course Texas Hold'em. Not a bad casino... Monday night football specials with Rib Eye and T-Bone Steaks start the dining menu. Other nightly special are on the agenda, Monday - Sunday. 1-800-280-UWIN
