It’s not expansive but actually feels exclusive, especially if you need a break from the larger pool areas The spa area has it’s own private pool which is idyllic and dreamy. When you’re at Pechanga, you don’t really need to leave, and you don’t need a car if you want to check out the winery scene of the Temecula Valley. Visitors will find a casino larger than any of its Nevada neighbors a stand-alone two level day spa that incorporates Native American healing and botanicals into all of its treatments, serves spa breakfast & lunch, also provides free yoga and boot camp classes & a full hair and nail salon a 4.5-acre pool complex with 4 pools, 3 hot tubs, a family pool with waterslides, dozens of stocked cabanas 1,090 luxury rooms & suites 20 restaurants and bars A-list entertainment (Cirque, Donny & Marie, Terry Fator and more) and a championship 18-hole golf course. In March, the resort wrapped up a $300 million expansion. The newly and majorly expanded Pechanga Resort Casino offers all the amenities and then some of a Las Vegas casino, without the traffic or overload of sensory input. The property has been seriously overhauled and they weren’t kidding.

The views facing the mountains are absolutely stunning.

There are so many lovely spots to explore without it feeling overwhelmingly gargantuan. When you first approach Pechanga, it definitely seems like a large sprawling place but don’t let the exterior fool you.
