Carnival Fun for Adults
Published in Palms to Pines Magazine, July 2015
The fun for adults heats up at Cahuilla Casino with summer games, giveaways and slot tournaments. Celebrating its 19th anniversary this summer, Cahuilla kicks off the season with the grand opening of Mountain Sky Travel Center. The new travel center sits adjacent to the casino and features a 24-hour convenience store and gas station. It is also home to the Cahuilla Smoke shop which has been a favorite for tobacco shoppers for over a decade due to the big selection of native brand cigarettes and great prices.
But the big fun is happening inside the casino, starting with a July 4th daytime party from 1pm to 6pm before firework fans head down the mountain for various evening festivities. Players can start their July 4th celebration early with lunch at the casino, slot tournament action and cash drawings, plus fun trivia games and prizes for all. Other great ways to play in July are “Hot-n-Cold Hot Seats” on Wednesdays and Saturdays where winners spin the wheel to multiply their winnings or the beach-party themed “Cash Splash Slot Tournament” weekly on Fridays.
August gets even hotter with the third annual Carnival of Cash giveaway which kicks off August 1st with weekly carnival games and over $35,000 in prize payouts. Over the past two summers, the carnival has grown in popularity and brought players from all over the Southland who like grownup fun in a small, friendly environment. The carnival includes a weekly slot tournament, cash drawings and other carnival-style games.
Cahuilla Casino is known for its small size, laid back atmosphere, and extremely friendly staff. As opposed to bigger casino properties in Temecula and the Coachella Valley, players at Cahuilla come because it is an easy casino to navigate with convenient parking, carries a wide variety of slot machines, and it’s a place where staff and players alike know your name and greet you with a smile.
For non-gamers looking for a mountain stop for great food and drinks, Roadrunner’s Bar & Grill serves all-American fare seven days a week and is best known for a fantastic burger in eight varieties including Western, Buffalo and Guacamole Bacon. The restaurant serves dinner specials weekly plus brunch every weekend. For those looking for a quicker stop, Mountain Sky Fresh & Fast serves made-to-order pizza and fried chicken for takeout.
Cahuilla Casino likes to take care of its loyal players with generous weekly player’s club rewards. Club Cahuilla offers $20 in rewards to new members upon signup, plus all members receive weekly MatchPlay and Restaurant Rewards. “We customize our rewards to the player, so every single member has their own personal weekly offer for free slot play and food,” says Marketing Manager Kasaan Hammon. The casino has giveaways, promotions and slot tournaments year-round for members.
Cahuilla Casino at Mountain Sky Travel Center is open 24 hours, 365 days a year. Casino is for players 21 and older. More information and directions can be found at: cahuillacasino.com.
