It’s a 5-10 minute walk from the main hotel building to the poker room building – a trip you wouldn’t want to do in summer heat, evening winds, or at night. The poker room, I need to emphasize, is in a separate building, which also houses a large bowling alley. I remember when Morongo was mostly a glorified bingo hall, but it now features a modern 27-story hotel and full casino downstairs.
Cabezon is a wide place in the road, dominated by the Morongo Resort, but there are a few chain food and retail stores. The view from PSP baggage claimĬasino Morongo is hard by I-10 in Cabezon – an easy half-hour drive from PSP. The sky was an eye-searing blue, and the mountains came right to the edge of the baggage claim area. I’ll get to Agua Caliente in a subsequent report – for now, let’s head out out to Morongo.Īrriving into PSP on a crisp fall morning–when the legendary summer heat had subsided–was a great start. Both are served by the Palm Springs airport (PSP), which has non-stop service from destinations across the United States and Canada. I hadn’t been to the Palm Springs area in too many years and was itching to try out Casino Morongo and Agua Caliente. I promised you poker room reviews – let’s get started.
