Spotlight 29 Casino

The marvelous $14 buffet they had prior to Covid is now replaced by a steak restaurant. Also has a chinese restaurant and a bar&grill, all way too expensive. There is a mexican restaurant a block away plus several fast food places with in a mile. Sign says 24 hour stay, but no parking lot security patrol. I just stayed 3 days and saw no patrolling, same in prior years. Huge lot gets filled up with RV's and dozens of semi-trucks each evening.

We went to the casino and played a little, but didn't stay (we stayed at Fantasy Springs a couple miles away). The reason was that this lot seemed more crowded, simply not as much room. It's paved though which is nice. But I-10 splits in two at that point and is on both sides of the lot, and not that far away (a couple hundred yards). With a lot of truck traffic, plus other traffic, at all hours, it has to be noisy. If that doesn't bother you this spot would be okay, at least in cooler weather with your windows closed.

The parking situation here is much nicer than it's counterpart Fantasy, just down the road. Tidy and clean, close to the casino. Didn't feel like a vagrant parking there as I did over at the other place. nice cool planters for dog walkies, and a dirt parameter suitable and tidy as well. Very close, for free casino parking. Most put you Waaaaaayyy out in the distance, but this is an easy walk inside. Nice when it's toasty outside, or cold and windy. They seemed to care what it's like for us RV'ers, and not treat us like they're doing us a favor by letting us "camp on their lawn" for a few days. It made me feel welcome. Very friendly folks inside.

Another good choice to spend the night. However, there was a large RV Show going on this weekend which created more traffic in the RV Parking area. RV Parking is close to the casino.

I stayed in RV parking area in March of 2015 after being unable to find RV parking at the other casino north of I-10. Large area, marked well for RV's with constant Security Patrols all night. Dinner buffet closed by 9, but dinner in restaurant was great, and so was breakfast in coffee shop next morning. Easy walk from RV to casino, and felt safe leaving trailer and tow vehicle. Basic dry camping arrangement, but much better alternative than $75+ per night RV parks in Palm Springs area if you are just looking to spend a night on the road.
