Morongo Casino, Resort & Spa is an Indian gaming casino, of the Morongo Band of Cahuilla Mission Indians, located in Cabazon, California, USA, near San Gorgonio Pass. The casino has 310 rooms and suites. A 44-acre (180,000 m²), 27-story resort, Morongo is one of the largest casinos in California. At 330 feet (101 m) high, the casino tower is the tallest building in the Inland Empire.^[1]

Facilities

Morongo is one of only three AAA four diamond casino resorts in California with Pechanga Resort and Casino and The Chumash Casino being the others. Morongo's main casino floor is 148,000 square feet (14,000 m²) with over 2,000 slots and table games.

Upon entering the casino, guests see a contemporary, retro-1960s interior. Light coves between overhead vaults, back-lit fabric draped between frames, and conically-shaped light fixtures create a complex, ornate ceiling above the casino floor.

The casino offers more than a hundred table games, including four-card poker, Ultimate Texas Hold'Em, blackjack, pai gow poker, mini-baccarat, and three card poker, as well as California-style craps tables (dealt with cards rather than dice) and a 22-table poker room. High rollers can use a high-limit slot area with four table games and seven slots. The high-limit room also has a lounge with plasma TVs and complimentary food.

Morongo's hotel accommodates guests in 272 standard rooms, 32 double-bay suites, and six casitas, the latter of which are located on an upper level surrounding the pool. All accommodations come with plasma screen TVs and contemporary hardwood furniture.

Hotel guests have access to the resort's pool which has a swimming and wading pool, water slide, lazy river, and two spas surrounded by sandy beaches and palms. Sixteen private cabanas have private bar service, TVs, refrigerators, and lounge chairs.

Morongo's restaurants include the penthouse restaurant Cielo, Serrano (24-Hour Cafe), Bamboo, and the Potrero Canyon Buffet, offering five inviting stations of international cuisine. A food court and 24-hour room service offer convenient dining. Club 360, a bar at the top of the hotel tower, has panoramic views.

Guests must be 18 to gamble on the property.^[2]
