Pala Casino Spa Resort - Pala (CA)

4 /5 Anne Bohl: We stayed at Pala for the first time. Really enjoyed the pool area. The rooms were clean and definitely nice enough. We had a view of the parking structure. For dinner we tried Bar Meets Grill and love it! Food was delicious and service was excellent. The slots couldve been a little friendlier, but overall it was a great little getaway. I would like to mention that we didnt have any trouble finding open slot machines which is nice for a change. The biggest downfall - which may be a deal killer - was the disgusting smell of cigarette smoke that was everywhere.

5 /5 Kathryn Le Veque: What a hidden gem this one is. My husband and I enjoy the casinos in Southern California for gambling and food. Something fun to do together. He made a reservation at Pala Resort and Casino because we were going to go down to the wild animal park the next day, so we spent the evening hanging out at the slot machines and enjoying a casual dinner. I have to say that I was blown away by several things - the first was that it was so clean. Very, very clean. Sometimes casinos can be so heavy with traffic dirt and smoke, but Pala wasnt. The room we had was fantastic and we had an amazing view. The service was great, from the front desk to the restaurant staff. Maybe the only thing that wasnt 5-star was the price. It was pricey. But I dont mind paying a premium if its worth it - and this was, by far. We will be back. If you get a chance, GO. Such a great alternative to the more heavily visited casinos in So Cal.

5 /5 Jeff Niemi: Play sports bar restaurant in the dining area lots of TVs and a huge really nice flat screen TV to watch the Padres. Cindy our server was over the top is one of the best Ive had the pleasure of having us served by.
