Fodor's Expert Review Agua Caliente Casino, Resort, Spa

32--250 Bob Hope Dr., Rancho Mirage, California, 92270, USA

As in Las Vegas, the Agua Caliente casino is in the lobby, but once you get into the resort's spacious, beautifully appointed guest rooms, all of the cacophony at the entrance is forgotten. The decor is a contemporary take on the Arts and Crafts style, with lots of white offset by dark wood. Niches hold original art, and high ceilings and wall-to-wall windows frame mountain views. Bathrooms have marble everywhere, flat-screen TVs, and oversize sunken tubs. Poolside cabanas push the concept to the limit; each has Wi-Fi, a phone, a TV, misters, ceiling fans, and a mini-refrigerator. The on-site Sunstone Spa rejuvenates guests with luxurious treatments, private pool, and a fitness center.

  • package deals include access to Indian Canyons Golf Course
