They allow smoking inside!!! So awesome. Felt great to not have my mask on. Drinks were $6 for mixed. There’s 2 places to eat there. The café and the restaurant. During the day, half the tables were closed. Mínimums were $15-$25. Parking was a breeze. The service at the bar was very quick.

They have a great rewards program. Beer and drinks are high. Never won. If your looking too win something go elsewhere. Their is a reason they give out so much free play.

One of my favorite casinos. We live over 70 miles away thats one way lol. With their renovation going on its still a fun place. Cant wait to see their new look. They are always sanitizing their machines which is a nice feeling. People are practicing social distancing. I highly recommend them.

My favorite casino. Great slots. $5 blackjack, and the best prime rib. $10 buffet great value. Prime rib, enchiladas, bread pudding, my favorite. Good quality fresh made food. I travel N America casinos year round and I have this on my top 3 list of favorites. Personnel very friendly and helpful. Clean restrooms, casino and grounds. Cant wait to return.

Right now the Casino is being renovated, so its very small, but quaint. There restaurants are closed and there is only a small pre-made sandwich eatery place I was told they are soon to completely open to its normal gaming place , of course under the covid19 restrictions, as they are doing now.

We received discounts for buffet, but the buffet wasnt open,?? Is this what they call false advertising. Manager had no explanation didnt know what to do.

Hit the gaming floor at dawn. Turned out to be the perfect time to access all of are preferred games and the payout prove to be better than other unnamed Indian casinos. Everyone in the party enjoyed the experience and left with smiling faces. I could only hope that future excursions are of such caliber.

Stopped in on a Saturday to watch a concert Ramon Ayala. The show tickets were priced reasonably the Concert was great Ramon is an excellent musician. The drink prices were also reasonably priced compared to other concerts and shows. Had dinner in the buffet although the buffet is not as big as other casinos the food was very good here. There was a band in the casino were we danced and had lots of fun. We did some gambling on the slots and actually came out $200 bucks ahead better than Vegas odds. We will be back again to this spotlight in the desert.

Nice place, they are checking your temperature before you park. Not many tables open, played black jack, lost $100 in 5 hands. Dealer had 20 or 21 everytime. There is 18 wheeler parking. So it gets 4 stars for that!

Buffet was fantastic. Included decent prime rib and was only $9.99 for lunch or dinner, with plenty of other good food as well. Best buffet Ive had at this price point in a long time.

Theres flys flying all over the food. I cant even eat my food. The food is always cold and they never change the menu like never! There ice cream machine sucks! They need to vacuum. Dont waste you money here. Just stop at jack in the box better.

Wont be coming back. Played about 3 hours of $100 to $300 hands of blackjack. About $1000 in slots in one trip. Only comped 50 bucks. Thats not the issue. I wanted to sit down and eat. Lady told me it would be 30 mins. I came back to eat and they told me the dining area was now closed off. I had to order to go which took an additional 30mins. If they would have told me up front, I would have been ok. I will use one of the many other casinos near by as my stopping point

Review №36

Its small casino not too many food choices as far as eating the slots are just like all the other casinos sometimes theyll pay but for the most part theyll just take your money. That is why its important to have good eateries to at least enjoy your visit while you lose your money

We took friends for breakfast. Have menu only option for daily breakfast. Prices high for quality served. Hardly anyone there. If dont get their act together dont see how they can keep space open. Need a smart food service director to bring menu out of the doldrums. Innovation needed instead of the tired items offered

I would prefer that no one choose to come to this casino being that when the generators went out at one point in time I was not able to receive my money back from the machine all the while having to wait 3 hours and its still not up and running and when trying to get information they were so overwhelmed they did not have anything together Im a diabetic and due to my ability to not be able to stay longer than the 3 hours because there was no telling when the generators were going to kick start back up I had to leave into a pitch black dark garage where my car was parked and just overall I had the most horrible experience ever

Buffet was very good. Clean bathrooms and I liked the many hand sanitizer stations all over. Queen Nation put on helluva performance - this 64 yr old danced 4# off! Afterwards I ventured to the machines thinking for second time in my life (1st was Vegas in 96) would discover what luck might be found in gambling.None as far as Im concerned. I lost my money in 20 minutes of pushing a stupid button. But what made me sad was looking around at the folk with faces a glow from games lights flashing in front of them, cigarette dangling from their lip, drink in their hand, and the very LOUD room(s)! The din hurt my ears. Couldnt wait to escape the artificial and physically uncomfortable environment.Id go to another dinner and show but not so much as another dimes bet from this gal.

This is the third time in a row that I have played over 30.00 without going to a single bonus round. I was playing between .5 and ..20 per spin. I can remember going to play around 11pm on the weekend and experiencing the same thing. It appears that the Casino simply flips a switch and starts taking in the cash, eliminating the players chances to win. I pay attention to how things work and know for certain that they engage, along with other casinos, butin unnecessary and deceptive profit increasing practices. This will be my last time playing slot machines at this casino.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place. BEST casino in the entire valley. Go to spot light first and you will soon see there is no need to go anywhere else. The ONLY thing missing at Spotlight 29 is a Spotlight Hotel. Maybe some day they will include that because even the locals would spend the night or weekend. Everyone loves Spotlight 29. Check it out!

We loved going to this place. All kids are able to get in to Cafe Capitata. Prices are great. 9.99 for players card holders. Its very easy to get a players card. The only bad thing is food is always the same. Waitresses are awesome.

My mom and I went to see Bill Engvall and had a wonderful time. It was easy to hear and see him. We had pretty good seats, but there were monitors on either side of the stage that made it so everyone could see him clearly, though honestly the way it was laid out, there wasnt a bad seat in the house. There was even a little bar where you could get anything but blended drinks, which makes sense. You dont want a blender going during a show. We didnt go around the actual casino or restaurants so I cant speak to those, but as far as the Spotlight Theatre goes, it was fantastic. Would definitely go again. Especially compared to Fantasy Springs theatre, that place was miserable!

My wife and I have been going to Spotlight 29 long before it was the big casino it is now (over 25 years). We were extremely happy to receive $62 for my wife and $42 for me for use in the gift shop. Or, we could have gotten $15 dollars and $10, at the most, in free play if we chose that option. So, we went to gift shop and were shocked that not even the smallest gift was under $65. An example was a shaker bottle for the bar. I looked that item up online and the most expensive one was $39. And, Im sure that those gifts are left over from giveaways. WOW!! And, the music on weekends in the main casino is so loud, you can hardly think. And, its the same music every time!! I couldnt hear the names being called for the half hour giveaways on June 29. There are snow birds and older folks that frequent the casino during giveaways and dont like such loud music.

Enjoyed a night off! Prime Rib on the buffet is Good! Cant beat the price 9.99. I cant seem to win on the new machines, but they have a large number of older ones that I can usually get lucky on. Sometimes I lose, but I love to stop by and try my luck!

If youve had one buffet here youve had them all. Never seems they change anything. I have seen some wins in the casino but Id like to see them allow bigger Wagers and some of their Penny machines. Staff is nice, places cleaned frequently. It has an odd layout but the perks are good!

Great buffet for the money!Get the players card and you will save $5 each on the buffet.I love to get the fried chicken here, so delicious and crispy!The prime rib is also very good - I like it thick cut.Desserts are ok too, especially the bread pudding.Its a nice small casino so we love to play some slots here too when we stop here for dinner, although it is a little smoky.

One of the decent casino buffets in the area. It has a small selection given the price minus the discount. The freshness of the food makes up for this. Would recommend this place for trying their breakfast buffet only.

It was insulting! Very disappointed. My sister and i decided to come here for mexican mothers day, Go to the buffet and maybe play a little after. Well, they raised the price for the buffet and it was not worth it. Thats how you show us mothers appreciation by serving canned, and frozen foods. The only thing good was the ice cream. The waitress was very nice. We enjoyed the music too. But the food. YIKES!

We didnt win, but it was a nice casino. Seemed clean, up to date with a $9.99 (with players card) prime rib buffet! The prime rib was excellent, tender and tasty. Some of the other items were ok. Their salad bar was very good. So, if you you like salad and prime rib you wont be disappointed.

Very disappointed with the way we were treated when we went for the advertised prime rib dinner. We were told it would be $18.99 since it was a holiday. This was Friday evening and they stated it was for Mothers Day. Yes, it does state except for holidays however the holiday was Sunday. They then stated to come back on Saturday and it would be the advertised 9.99. When inquiring which holiday they were observing they stated. Mexican Mothers Day. The last time I checked a map, California was still part of the United States. We were in town from Phoenix and this is the first time I experienced this type of discrimination. We will not be making Spotlight 29 a stop when we visit Palm Springs.

We went to the daily $9.99 prime rib buffet. It is open all day, and they bring out the carved meats at lunch time. Some very fresh vegetable sides, a nice salad bar, and a dessert bar. The value is great and the food is good and freshly prepared. Even worth driving a little out of the way for, and they have plenty of free parking.
