The Morongo Casino is a great hotel that comes at a price. It is really worth it and the kids had a blast with the dinos.īad on reservations: So, as near as we can figure, they 'upgraded' us to a 'Canyon' view and charged us for it. Also, RIGHT down the road is a throwback diner (good, big, food at good prices) and next to it is a dinosaur exhibit. Anyway, kids love it and the food was awesome. We did have half off for one person by joinging the Morongo Club which is easy to do online at their site. There is also a great buffet which was only $33 for our family of 5. That didn't bother the kids too much, they swam for 7 hours. We stayed before it got hot so there was almost no crowd - but they only heat the beach pool and the spas - so it was pretty cold. There is a lazy river, 2 spas, a kiddie pool (quite large) and another 'beach' pool. Great for kids: The pools are awesome for children. But, the price we were to pay seemed to 'grow' when we arrived - even beyond the resort fee. The rooms are nice and offer great views (we saw views from both sides - they were both great).
