Clean, beautiful casino floor! Stopped by to use the restroom and the players club had an awesome promo; ended up winning a couple bucks! Friendly staff and clean restrooms. A decent pit stop if you're in the area. read more

I was offered a position with this company and fully disclosed my DUI before completing their background-check process. It was a standard DUI with no accident or additional circumstances, and they continued with the hiring process knowing about it. Afterward, they withdrew the position because of my "background" but refused to identify the specific information that caused the decision, even after I requested clarification. I was not provided the required opportunity to review and respond to the specific information being used against me. Their handling of this appears inconsistent with California's Fair Chance Act and the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, which provide applicants certain notice and response rights when a background report is used in an employment decision. If my disclosed DUI was automatically disqualifying, that should have been communicated before they put me through the entire process. The lack of transparency and professionalism was extremely disappointing. Applicants deserve clear communication, especially when they have been completely honest from the beginning. read more

I wanted to like this place -- I gave it more than a fair shot. For a long stretch I was here constantly: several times a month, hundreds of dollars a visit, all on my Fantasy Rewards card. So when I say they lost a genuinely loyal customer, I've got the play history to prove it. And they lost me over twenty dollars. The short version: I had a $20 cash-out ticket that went a little past its expiration. Took it to the cashier. Rather than pull up the rewards card that was literally in the machine when I printed it -- the thing that proves the ticket was mine -- they voided it, took the paper, and spent the whole interaction insisting they weren't "keeping" my money, just "voiding" it. Either way, I walked out with nothing and no explanation, and they walked off with my $20 and, as it turns out, all my future business. As for the property: it feels old and worn to me. The machines and the floor give off a tired, run-down vibe, and if you're not into sitting at slots there's basically nothing here -- no sports bar, no variety, not much atmosphere. I've never had a meal here I'd recommend. The one exception, credit where it's due, is the Rock Yard; the outdoor shows are legitimately fun and the only part of this place I'll miss. Here's the real tell, though: Agua Caliente, which isn't even a place I'm crazy about, treats its guests noticeably better than this. And Augustine is on another level entirely -- the service they give locals and regulars is genuinely excellent, the exact opposite of what I got here. When the casino you don't even love is better, and the locals' spot is in a completely different class, that says everything about where Fantasy Springs put a loyal regular on its priority list. The point is a casino looked at a regular who spent real money here consistently and decided a $20 voucher was the hill to die on. They won the twenty. They lost the customer. I'm taking my money to Augustine, where they actually act like they want repeat guests. read more

I've been to this casino a couple times. It's like walking into an old movie. So many very old machines. After losing a lot, I went to the buffet, which was good. A nice variety, although it has a rather senior home dining area. Going back to the casino floor, we tried a couple others and gave up. Wasn't our day. So, we spotted a sign to the bowling alley. Bowling alley, you say? Ok, this was a fun find. It's a fun alternative space. A small selection of arcade games, a lot of lanes, and a clean vibe that made me think of old tv shows. For this bowling alley, I added a star. It has a fun family friendly, date night, or out drinking with pals that don't want to visit the casino floor. I will probably plan a bowling visit soon. The casino, I think it's a pass. read more

First time visiting this casino in twenty years. The casino floor is definitely dated, with old-school slot machines--unfortunately, MANY of which have no sound or are staticky. This last fact I found troubling, as you would think that a casino making thousands and thousands of dollars would provide all the necessities for its money makers. Personally, I love the sound of slot machines, and when they are basically silent, it is boring, a letdown, and gives me time to think about the money I am losing. The other issue is that, unlike just about every other single casino I have visited, the smoke from cigarette smokers is in the air throughout the entire casino. I came home smelling like a giant cigarette. I DO have to admit that, despite these challenges, the slot machines here were fairly loose, as I hit two jackpots of $1,000 and $900.00 within a span of 45 minutes. The casino offers guests a mix of fairly new games, but a huge chunk of the floor was dedicated to older games, as I previously mentioned. I observed armed security guards throughout my visit, which is always a good thing. While I was playing slot machines, a casino hostess (Helena Pham) approached me and introduced herself. Helena was awesome, friendly, and professional, and ended up comping me two dinner buffets ($35.00 + each). Thank you!! Totally unexpected encounter. The buffet at this casino was AMAZING!! It is a tad smaller than buffets at other casinos, but the food was DELICIOUS!! Seafood, Chinese food, Mexican food, Italian food, salad bar, dessert bar, etc. It was all a very positive dining experience. Overall, our visit to this casino was worth the hour-and-a-half drive here. The BAD part was that just as we were about to enter the freeway for the trip back home, we discovered that the westbound 10 freeway was completely shut down, and as a result, we were forced to take Highway 111, which took us through four or five large desert cities and added two hours to our trip back home, uggh! read more

MIDLAND!!! The drive to get here was 4 hrs long from San Fernando due to traffic but ultimately my crew and I got there safe and half the drive time on the way back to San Fernando. I took my sister in law along with my mother for this little adventure of mine. We first got our gaming cards and then hit the buffet . The service is really great, the food was amazing and the concert was awesome! I do wish Midland would've played more of the heartache songs. The drinks were well made and the dance floor was packed after the concert. BEWARE: THEY DO NOT OFFER PICKLE BACK SHOTS & NO DRINKS ON THE DANCE FLOOR, SECURITY DOESN'T PLAY! I burned all the calories away with dancing and singing the rest of the night. Such an amazing time and awesome memories made. read more

I've been coming here for years, and for a while, it was my go-to when visiting the area (I'm in Orange County, so it's an easy drive to the Palm Springs area when I want a casino fix). Sadly, that's no longer the case. I finally reached black card level, where I've been for a couple of years. It was nice. The only real perk I used was the parking pass so that I could park closer to the front, and of course, the shorter lines in places. Well, all that changed with their new players' club. Instead of carrying me over to a similar tier, they bounced me back to the newbie tier. Seriously? Granted, I'm not a high roller, but I've deposited more than a few hundred dollars into those machines and table games. And sometimes that's just one visit. So, I got my card, and about 20 minutes into my play, none of the machines would accept it. Now I've learned several tricks over the years to get the machine to read my player's card, but none of them worked. Back to the players club counter, now in the longer newbie line, to get a new card. While the new card worked better, I still found it challenging to get it read the first time I inserted it. I then sat down at a new machine I wanted to try, only to find cigarette ash on it. It's like whoever was there before didn't use an ashtray. As I was losing money, I realized that I've had a hand pay at every other casino in the area, except this one. Now I know how slots work: the odds are always in favor of the house, and it's 100% random, but that confirmation bias still doesn't give me warm fuzzies. I later went to another casino whose initials are AC and had no problems getting the machines to read my player's card. While I didn't win there either, the machines paid back enough to keep me playing longer, and that's all I ask for. Oh, and I had 100% of my food comped. I only had a $7 available credit at Fantasy Springs, which didn't even cover a slice of pizza and a drink. Oh, and the A/C in the high limit room doesn't work or is nonexistent. Similar to when the nonsmoking slots were in the back, which also had no air. It's Palm Springs! A/C should be a priority. read more

Staying at our timeshare in Indio, a friend gave us some recommendations. We started out at Rock Yard to see a cover band. Ended up at LIT on the twelfth. What a great spot! Although it was very windy, it overlooks the city. We ventured inside and found a place at the bar. The Steel Rod was the featured band and played quite a range of hits and took requests. There's a small space next to the stage to dance. Beware to get there before the cover band finishes. It gets packed out. We had such a good time Friday night, we did it all again Saturday night. Again, great vibes but there was a shift in the music and vibe, and even the crowd. We ended up leaving early for safety concerns. We would definitely try it again. The free parking and free cover band entertainment is reason enough to give it a try. read more

Fantasy Springs Resort Casino - Rick Yard - Casinos Near Me - Indio, California

I always have a wonderful time at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino. The rooms are clean, comfortable, and nicely updated, and the staff is always welcoming and attentive. I really enjoy the casino, there are plenty of gaming options, from slots and table games to bingo, all in a lively atmosphere. It's also an excellent spot for live entertainment. The concert venue may be intimate, but it brings in great headliners and always puts on a fantastic show. I especially love Twelve: Cocktails Above, it offers stunning valley views (city lights), excellent drinks, and live music on the weekends, making it the perfect place to unwind. Extra comfortable rooftop seating, perfect for relaxing with a drink and enjoying the views! There's so much to do: big concerts and free outdoor shows, live music in the lounges, a fun bowling alley and arcade, and a gorgeous golf course (just $65 for 2-4 players with a cart). The pool is relaxing, and there are plenty of dining options to suit any mood. There's some shopping too, if that's your thing. I also recommend joining Fantasy Rewards, a free club where you earn points for playing. You can turn them into free play, dining, hotel, and golf perks, plus enjoy extra offers and a nice new member bonus. If I had to mention anything, it would be that hotel check-in and late-night dining lines could be a bit quicker. That said, I really appreciate that they offer pizza by the slice until 2AM on Fridays and Saturdays, a great late-night option. Still, with complimentary parking and valet making everything extra convenient, it's always a fantastic stay. I'm happy to keep coming back! read more

Fantasy Springs Resort Review - Fight Night Edition Checking into Fantasy Springs for the Golden Boy Production title fights felt like stepping into mini-Vegas... desert heat included. From my 11th-floor view of Coachella + the mountains to feeling like a ringside VIP, this trip had all the fight-night flair. Ringside seats had me wondering if I should start training to be a ring girl (hey, I held my water bottle like a champ ‍). Sweet Poison, Gabriella Fundaro, came out swinging with a solid fight that had the crowd hyped. The main event? Oscar Collazo was unstoppable. The trainer for his opponent called the fight early for safety, but let's be honest--there was no slowing down the Puerto Rican powerhouse. He had the energy of the energizer bunny and then some. After the adrenaline, the casino was buzzing but food options were down for the count--so pizza it was. The room was pretty standard, but that view was a knockout. Overall? Solid stay, killer fights, and just enough chaos to feel like a true VIP fight weekend. read more

This casino is shady. I left them a 1-star review in September and they banned me for giving them a 1-star. I decided to give them another chance and stopped by today. I went to the players club to get a copy of my players card and security came over and told me someone from Player Development banned me. I was never notified that I was banned. Imagine if I had won a jackpot without stopping by the players club. Players should think twice before giving this shady casino any play. read more

Dated casino with lots of broken machines and poor service. Good luck trying to flag down a slot attendant when the machine you want to play inevitably breaks down. You'd think a casino of this caliber, with a resort, theater, and multiple restaurants, would have things running a little more smoothly. For a place that takes in plenty of money from players, you'd think they could update their machines and hire enough staff to actually help customers. Between the outdated floor and the terrible payouts, it's just not worth the hassle. I'll be sticking to Spotlight 29 and Augustine from now on. read more

My hubby and I have been coming to this casino since I moved to the desert in 2013. It's always been one of my favorites. He's won many hand pays but it's a hit or miss, that's why it's gambling. You gotta play to win. I don't know why the negativity from some of the other reviews. Yes it's not a Vegas five star casino but it's always a good time. I will say the main bar does need some upgrades buy I'm glad they kept it 21 and over unlike other casinos that are 18 and over. They have great restaurants, the hotel is a nice place to have a staycation and it's a Great place to gamble and have fun read more

Fantasy Springs Resort Casino - Outside watching a free concert with my bestie ! A Stevie Ray Vaughan cover band amazing!!! - Casinos Near Me - Indio, California

Smaller than the big-name tribal casinos in the area and very much stuck in the past. The games are old-school and the place feels dated and a little dingy, but surprisingly, the payouts were solid. I hit multiple lower priced jackpots, including majors and minors, and honestly had better luck here than at Agua Caliente. There's a smoking section, card tables are limited, and during our visit the water shut off due to a broken pipe--no bathrooms for a bit, though they did bring in portable toilets. This isn't a casino you dress up for or plan a whole night around. It's basic, average, and not flashy--but if you care more about payouts than vibes, it gets the job done. read more

I spent two wonderful nights at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino again, and I'll happily reiterate what a lovely experience my sister and I had. From start to finish, everything was just perfect. We saw the Australian Bee Gees Show, and wow, that an incredible performance. If you ever have the chance to see this show, do not miss it. It truly does not disappoint. We also enjoyed a lovely buffet, which was the perfect way to round out the evening. The hotel is very comfortable with easy access to the Casino. There are plenty of machines as well as table games. Don't miss the Lounge at the top of the hotel. The live music was lively and the view of the area was spectacular from the lounge balcony. There are TVs to watch our sports yet it feels more upscale than a sports bar. So bring your date and you won't be disappointed at all! My recommendation for breakfast brunch, lunch and dinner is POM restaurant. Their cuisine is delicious! Be sure to ask for Chris as your server. I believe he mainly works days because we always ask for him during brunch. He's a 5 star server who actually recognizes me and my sister when we walk in ! He has the kindest personality and never appears bothered when we ask questions on our choices. Most of all, my host, Steven Santos, is simply wonderful. His warmth, professionalism, and attention to detail made our stay feel extra special. Already looking forward to our next visit! I can't thank him enough for swaying us over from Morongo and Agua Caliente to Fantasy Springs! I wouldn't want to stay anywhere else! read more

They have an awesome acoustic musical duo that performs on Friday and Saturday nights in the 12th floor of the hotel. No cover charge. They play from 7:40-10:00 I think.

The pizza place in the hotel is also good. Quick and yummy. Fun date night. Gamble a little if that's your thing. read more

​"Money gone in a blink - Watch your back (and your machine)" ​I recently visited Fantasy Springs and had a terrible experience that I feel others should be warned about. While playing at a machine, I turned my head for just a moment, and by the time I looked back, someone had already cashed out my credits and disappeared. ​What makes it worse is the lack of security presence on the floor to prevent this kind of "slot cruising" or theft. It's incredibly disappointing that you can't even look away for a second without your money being stolen. ​Beyond the theft, the area of Indio where this casino is located does not feel particularly safe or well-maintained. Between the sketchy atmosphere outside and the vultures inside waiting to snatch your credits, I won't be returning. There are much better, safer options in the Palm Springs area where you don't have to worry about your pockets being picked the second you lose focus. ​Save your money and go somewhere else. read more

They told us 2 hours ago that only inspection needed to be done on room and after 2 hours they still aren't ready. Supervisor had just as much as attitude as the front desk workers. They say one thing and change it 20 min later. I also heard one of the front desk employees bad mouthing me to another guest. Very unprofessional staff.

Here is my honest opinion. Casino. Hard to win. Some machine too close together for comfort Too tight. Players pound on machines with no intervention from Mgmt. Can be irritating to those that want to just be in the "zone" . Infastructure needs alot of work. Mgmt and Tribe line their pockets while property needs work. Parking lots are in disrepair, Bathrooms outdated, Hotel pool a mess, Air-conditioning non existent in many locations in Casino. Horrible, outdated system. Freezing by elevators in Hotel while boiling hot in Casino. Fly situation out of control when it's warm. Flies are everywhere and have to swat them away. It's disgusting. Nearby Casino SL29 has either of the 2 issues mentioned. Cold 365 at SL29 and AC. Restaurant food can be good sometimes, however, inconsistent. Food temp at Bistro very inconsistent. Hard to get a $60 steak medium rare also a $28 burger. Salad dressing are very . Since I no longer go there due to an unfortunate misunderstanding. this is my honest and truthful thoughts of FS. I am finally saying EXACTLY what I think with no redactions. While I could say alot more, I have to go and put my $ elsewhere, not at FS.! read more

Security is a Joke, they hang in groups like school kids instead of protecting the Guests and the Casino.

I will Never go here again because in my opinion: they don't care about decent people like me. read more

Unfortunately, the slot machines, especially the buffalo, do not pay at all. The gentleman next to me spent $800 and did not get a bonus round. On the other hand, I got the bonus rounds. However, I got paid $7, $1.80, 3.50. It was a joke. I am well aware gambling is entertainment. The odds are against me. But, at least, give the gamblers a chance to enjoy playing. It's ridiculous that the machines are so tight. From my personal experience, the slot machines at San Manuel and Pechanga pay more than Fantasy springs casino. read more
