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.

When we left after 12 noon, Santa himself was there. The first thing we did was visited all the sponsor tables where we picked up swag. College of the Desert had some nice items - stress ball, lip balm, highlighters, etc. Then it was tamale time. Which vendor? Sis and I lined up at the longest line one. We waited about 1/2 hour but spoke to a couple ahead of us who told us which vendors they enjoyed. The longest line was Casa De Silvia. I heard snatches of people's conversations about the chili relleno tamale. When I got up to the order counter I ordered it plus chicken in green sauce and pork in red. The chili relleno tamale lived up to its reputation. Very good. Filled with cheese and chopped green poblano stuffed. Yummy. Later I got a pineapple tamale from The Tamale Fiesta booth. Said came with pineapple pieces. I didn't see any in mine. There's an eating area with canopies that offered much needed shade. We ate our tamales there. Hubby & I made an observation - there seemed to be less tamale vendors than in the past. But the ones that participated offered delicious tamales. We did a complete circle of the festival. Ample porta potties. After a couple of hours we exited.

We tried many tamales and were disappointed in most of them. Barely took any home to freeze for later. We drive from Riverside every year but probably won't go for 2026.

I have only been here almost a dozen times but each time we leave feeling better than we entered. Want to know why? Because we laughed so hard and shed some tears in the process. We were fortunate enough to have seen the Christmas show with Jeff's daughter. It was such a wonderful show with her pianist and saxophonist accompanying her and multiple costume changes. We also enjoyed seeing her father perform. I must say I look for the shows where it's mainly Jeff Hobson performing because he is so funny, so talented, and he has such incredible timing with quick wit that it literally tickles my brain. Arrive an hour prior to the show and enjoy the entertainment in the lobby. You can order something to drink from the bar. Just make sure you've made dinner plans before or after the show as there's no food available. You will be treated to either musical talent or magical talent prior to the main show in the auditorium. Choose the front row if you REALLY want to participate. Great for celebrating special occassions.

When I heard they would be at Marvyn's, I made sure to secure tickets. The theater is nicely laid out and makes for an intimate experience. They have entertainment before the start of the show and an amazing bar. I believe this show was sold out. In the seating area they have hilarious sayings on the screen over the stage. Wish I could remember them. Photography is forbidden in the theater. Anyhow, they are true entertainment professionals and know how to work the room. There were several things they did that we had our mind boggled. But we're the types who don't want to find out and rather like keeping the mystery intact. Amazing really doesn't begin to describe their show. We were beyond impressed. They kind and gracious to do a meet & greet after the show. It was a most enjoyable and magical evening!

If you are considering booking Old Polo Estate for your wedding - look no further and thank me…read morelater! This property is absolutely stunning and what truly sets it apart is that you get the entire place to yourselves for the weekend. At first, the investment might feel like a lot...but when you really think about it, most venues charge a significant amount for just 4-5 hours. At Old Polo, you have the option to turn your wedding into an entire weekend experience and that made all the difference for us. We booked three nights at Old Polo and we don't regret it for a second. We had our entire bridal party and family stay on the property, and it honestly felt like a wedding vacation (even though we live locally - it was the best "staycation" we've ever had). Instead of one quick blur of a day, we had a full weekend of memories, laughter, pool time, late-night chats, and quality time with the people we love most. It was the best time of our lives. The house itself is immaculate. It is beautifully maintained, incredibly comfortable, and perfect for a large party. Every detail feels thoughtful and elevated. Julie is amazing to work with. She is professional, organized, responsive, and genuinely cares about making sure you are happy. The entire team is on top of everything, which gives you so much peace of mind throughout the process. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a single thing. Old Polo Estate gave us not just a wedding day, but a wedding weekend we will cherish forever!

We reserved four bowling lanes for the team and ordered pizza and drinks, which made it really easy to relax and enjoy the time together. The atmosphere was fun and lively, and the staff was very accommodating and laid-back throughout the whole event. They made everything feel easy and stress-free, which is always appreciated when you're coordinating a group of excited kids and parents. We never felt rushed and were able to take our time enjoying the afternoon. The girls had so much fun bowling, cheering each other on, and celebrating together. It was great to see them laughing and enjoying themselves after working so hard all season. The parents had a great time too--chatting, catching up, and celebrating the season alongside the girls. After bowling, many of the kids spent time in the arcade area. While it's not huge, there were plenty of games to keep them entertained and they had a lot of fun trying different things and competing with each other. Overall, it was a really fun and memorable way to wrap up the season. Between the bowling, the food, the arcade, and the relaxed atmosphere, it made for a great team celebration. We'd definitely consider doing another team event here in the future.

It has an old school alley feel and is very lively with lots of lanes. One of the visits was on a Saturday evening so it was a little crowded and we had a short wait. There also the option for laser bowling later in the evening which seemed popular with the kids. The lanes themselves were in pretty good shape as well as the seating areas. The only thing I had trouble with was finding lighter-weight balls. In all, this is great family entertainment for all ages and you can always visit the many restaurants and casino games before or after. That's a win in my book!

The last time that we've been it was just for a walk around the garden and the museum area. If you…read morehaven't been, it's beautiful. Free to visit and you can enjoy the cactus garden and wander around the gardens. Museum and gift shop as well as cafe is on sites. But this visit, we took the tour of the Annenberg property. Tour is about 90 min and about 60.00 per person. They do recommend you come a little early to view and enjoy the main building where the cactus garden was but we were a little behind and made it right before the tour started. The tour host 7 person per guided tours. We start off at check in and then met with our guide, Hema. At the beginning you start off on the golf carts where your guide gives you an introduction to the family and the property. The gate into the main residence is around the corner from the public property. It's amazing to see how someone turned a barren desert landscape into an oasis. The brief cart ride to main door was quite nice. A massive golf property hidden in the desert. Once you approached the main property, it's welcomed by a massive water feature. A knock on the double doors lead you into the lobby of the house. Just walking into the property, it's a true MCM oasis. To find out the property only has just the primary bedroom was insane as it was massive. Theres no picture allowed inside but outside was fine. Hema, very detailed in everything she explained was very sweet and detail oriented. Walking through the different rooms and seeing all the amazing things collected by both Walter and Leonore Annenberg was quite interesting. The office which house all of Walter's work, pictures of family, friends and political figures. The different room that's in the main house, their amazing artwork which some are the original pieces. Then you have the way they lived, very elegantly. Each room had their own unique style. The designer and architect sure had their hands full with detail designed of everything on site. The furniture, one of a kind design with amazing embroidery. Walter had an amazing collection of artwork and sculptures. Seeing them throughout the house and the way it was displayed in different room of the house was spectacular. Even the kitchen was nice. Still fully functional as it's still used for summits. The outside alone is one in a million. The massive property with many lakes that is fully stocked for fishing. The golf course which is a golfers heaven. And then you have the pool with a million dollar view of the mountains as the backdrop. Not only the main house, there's the guest house which is utilized for guest. And they're know by different color rooms. And by that, it's fully decorated in the color palette. That building also all looks out to the pool and mountain. Leonore, with her favorite color yellow also had a rose garden designed in the property. The tour lets you inside the lives of the Annenberg and the amazing lives they've lived. Housing major political figures, celebrities and the amazing parties had. The massive art collection and endless photos of everyone, it was a sight to see. This is a tour worth checking out and learning about the Annenberg. Plus, Hema our tour guide was excellent.

The tours were either sold out or had one spot available. There were 2 of us. I would recommend purchasing tickets online before you arrive to Palm Springs because of the popularity of the tours.

We walked among the garden area, visited the small but great gift shop, watched the movie about Sunnylands and viewed the current exhibition. The next time we're in the Palm Springs area I will definitely plan ahead and purchase tickets way in advance.
