With more than 600 restaurants in the valley, the dining possibilities are endless — from chic little bistros and poolside cafes to sweeping casino buffets boasting everything from steamed shrimp to prime rib and a dozen flavors of cheesecake. It’s a gourmand’s delight here — French, Mexican, Italian, Greek, seafood, California fresh — and it’s all waiting for you. Hungry? Dig in!

Presidents and sports pros have played golf here. Do you need more reason to believe our courses are something special? Try this on for size — the valley boasts 123 golf courses, so since you can play almost 365 days a year, you can try a new course just about every other day. Now that’s golf. Tennis is a winner, too; some of the world’s most seasoned tennis pros and celebrities have caused a racket here since the early days of Palm Springs.

Lady Luck smiles on our valley. Why shouldn’t she, with so many casinos that pay homage to her through slot machines, poker, blackjack, bingo, craps — not to mention the first-class entertainment and varied dining options each of our 10 casinos offer every day. It’s non-stop action day and night, and the winnings are pretty easy to take, too.

For over 100 years, the natural healing mineral waters that run beneath the desert floor have been tapped to relax and rejuvenate the human body.
