Cahuilla Casino Hotel in Anza

I wanted to try a new casino out and this was the closest one that I haven't tried yet. They had $10 free slot play for new members and a promotion where they would pay you back any losses on your first day in 2 weeks. Cool. So I did end up losing a little on my first day. No problem since they will pay me back right? 2 weeks go by, nothing. 1 month goes by, nothing. At this point I was wondering when they would notify me that I could come back to play again. I called them and asked when I could come back to play my losses. They checked my card and said I only played $30 and the minimum is $40. Wtf? No one ever told me that. Oh well. It is what it is. At least it was only a small loss. I wo...

I used to love coming here just for the dinner a couple of years ago. Since the remodel and the new restaurant meal prices are very high especially when entree has one price and sides are extra cost per side and portions are a lot less.

Eventually I found the Ribbonwood Grill, immediately got a seat and was attended by my waitress. She offered popular choices for entrees, sandwiches, and burgers. I took her recommendation for the Philly cheese steak. I opted for the 2 dollar side salad because lord knows I have been eating plenty of junk food during this quarantine. It was notably fresh, hand chopped, and prepared. The food came out in about 10 minutes, was right. and pretty tasty. If I had to provide any criticism is that the location feels like an after thought. Being just outside of the casino in a corridor made it feel less substantial than a "real" restaurant. Prices felt a little steep too. With a tip my total came to around 25 bucks. No alcohol. for a sandwich, salad, and soda.
