Casino City Times
April 23, 2018

(PRESS RELEASE) -- While Pala Casino Spa and Resort continues to put the finishing touches on what is being described as its new 'pool experience' along with its expanded hotel parking garage, both opening Saturday, 19 May, the team at Pala has planted additional expansion seeds that are already starting to bloom.

Pala's new adults-only, multi-pool experience will offer guests the opportunity to enjoy 14 luxurious cabanas, five pools, two expansive hot tubs, a new poolside bar, a new poolside restaurant and a variety of outdoor lounge spaces complete with fireplaces for evening cocktails. The new hotel parking garage will add 420 spots giving Pala 3,700 convenient parking spaces just steps away from the action. In June, Pala will unveil more exciting elements of its remodel and expansion.

Perhaps one of the most comfortable and satisfying for many guests will be the new 15,000 square-foot smoke-free casino area that will be located adjacent to the poker room. It is scheduled to open Friday, 29 June.

'As part of our casino remodel and expansion, we are paying particular attention to our many guests who prefer to enjoy the smoke-free areas within our resort. We are creating a beautifully appointed casino area which will offer over 300 slot and video poker machines, live poker, casino cashier services and several restaurants and bars. Guests will be able to enter the smoke-free casino directly through the smoke-free hotel entrance utilizing our complimentary valet service,' said Pala Chief Executive Officer Bill Bembenek.

The new smoke-free space will be enclosed with glass from floor to ceiling. Extra care is being taken to ensure that the transition from the smoke-free casino area is seamless without smoke being allowed to intrude into the new space. Pala's HVAC system will be augmented to ensure that positive air flows out from the smoke-free space into the casino area where smoking is allowed.

On 29 June, Pala will open Marquise Bar, its newest casino bar and lounge. This opulent bar will offer plush lounge space and ample seating, and will be adorned with hundreds of strands of crystals. It will be the centerpiece of a new 10,000 square-foot gaming area, which will offer over 300 new slot and video poker machines and new blackjack and roulette tables.

Also at 11 a.m., 29 June, Pala will reopen the expanded version of Luis Rey's, its popular indoor-outdoor restaurant, bar and live entertainment venue. It will offer a wide selection of appetizers, including Pala's world-famous Street Tacos, Fish Tacos and Carne Asada Nachos.

There will be a wide selection of burgers, including the Signature Luis Rey's Kobe Burger and sandwiches will include the Piled High Corn Beef, Pork Schnitzel, Beef & Cheddar, Philly Cheese Steak, Hot Pastrami, Classic Deli Club, the All-American and the Luis Rey's BLAT.

The bar also will offer a large selection of Tequilas.

Happy Hour at Luis Rey's will be 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. daily and prices will include Street Tacos (Chicken or Steak), $1; and Moscow Mules, Margaritas and Draft Beer, $3.75 each.

Luis Rey's will offer live entertainment from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. every Friday and Saturday.

Pala oppose nearby housing project proposal

March 31, 2018

Planners for North County and the Board of Supervisors are scheduled to make a decision on a proposed housing development that would be located across from Pala Casino Resort & Spa off of state Route 76. The project would create 780 new homes for the area. The approval could come sometime this summer.

There are several proposed housing plans that the officials will need to decide on. This is just one of them.

The Warner Ranch proposal plan has been in development for nearly 13 years. The plan would be to attract the thousands of people that drive long distances to go to their jobs at the North County casinos. The project would supply housing that would be closer to their jobs and cut down on their commute time to get there. The thought is also that it could help eliminate some of the traffic on the congested 15 freeway.

It would also be built on 513 acres of private land next to the reservation and just to the west of the Pala casino. Houses would be developed on 130 acres. Open space would be reserved for the rest of the land. Some of the houses would be built directly across the street from the casino.

A study that was previously conducted showed that 2,200 people drive at least 45 minutes from their homes to their jobs at the casinos every day. These people are commuting from Riverside County and other locations.

The plan is opposed by the Pala Band of Mission Indians. As well as environmental groups.

The area where they project is to be developed is in a rural area of the county. The general plan for the area would need to be amended and construction to widen Highway 76 would also need to happen.

Any proposed housing project in the county must meet certain requirements. One of those requirements is the location to stores and recreation.

The reservation where the Pala is located is considered a sovereign nation. The tribe does not wish to grant outsiders access to their land that cannot be reached from public roads. They insist that the proposed location to their land and their casino should not meet the county's requirements.

The tribe also believes that the average casino employee would not make enough in wages to qualify for the housing being built for them. Another reason the Pala are against the project is the increase in the amount of traffic.

Currently the proposed location is zoned as agricultural.

Should you be after another casino also located in the wider San Diego area that has a similar offering check out Viejas Casino & Resort.

Online Casino Games

Unfortunately, California has not yet legalized online gambling. Because of the lack of legalization, no casino’s in the state can offer up online casino gambling for real money. It then follows that Pala Casino Spa & Resort does not offer up any form of online gambling. While this doesn’t look like this will change any time soon, other states such as California’s neighbor Nevada have legalized online casino gambling in some forms – so the Californian legislature could change this in the future.

Promotions found at the Casino

Like any good casino worth its weight, Pala Casino Spa & Resort has a wide range of promotions on offer. These promotions range from free game play, gifts (such as cars or even holidays!) to large cash jackpots. Pala Casino Spa & Resort’s promotions on offer are a huge draw card for the casino and can make your trip even better if you time your visit to the casino to co-include with a promotion you really want to take advantage of. The casino keeps guests abreast of what promotions are on offer via the casino’s Facebook page.

Like all casino’s operating in the US, Pala Casino Spa & Resort’s promotions are often short lived and seasonal. This means that the promotions often only last a month or two, to ensure you know what promotions are running when you are visiting either visit the casino’s website, its social media channels or even do the old fashioned thing and call the casino directly.

Loyalty Program at the Casino

Like all established casino’s Pala Casino Spa & Resort runs a loyalty program. This loyalty program allows players who frequent the casino often to accumulate membership points which can be used and spent at the casino on game play or other services such as accommodation, meals or drinks. As players accumulate more points they are able to move further up the tiers of the loyalty program, with each tier bestowing upon members further benefits. Full details on the loyalty program can be found on the casino’s website.

Non-Gambling Related Features of the Casino

As well as the gambling on offer Pala Casino Spa & Resort also offers up a huge range of non-gambling related features such as onsite accommodation, events and entertainment. In the sections below we will go into further detail regarding the non-gambling services and venues that guests to the casino can take advantage of during their visit to the casino – including our top tips and insights into making the most of this wide range of non-gambling features.

Hotel: Gaming and Luxury Combined
