Spa Resort and Casino at a glance
About Spa Resort and Casino
Spa Resort and Casino is the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians’ original Palm Springs gaming and resort property, open at 401 E Amado Road since 1963. The property combines a 1,000-machine gaming floor and a 29-table pit with a full resort amenity stack that includes an on-site hotel, spa, pool, gym, golf, nightclub, steakhouse, and entertainment programming. The “Spa” in the name references the natural hot springs that gave Palm Springs its name: the property sits on Agua Caliente Band land that encompasses those springs.
The Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians is a federally recognized tribe with reservation land throughout the Palm Springs and Coachella Valley area. Gaming operates under the California tribal-state compact and is overseen by the California Gambling Control Commission.

Casino Floor
Spa Resort and Casino operates 1,000 slot machines and a 29-table pit. The table lineup includes Blackjack Double Deck, Fortune Pai Gow Poker, Mystery Card Roulette, Ultimate Texas Hold’em, and video poker.
Video poker is available as a separate electronic gaming option throughout the floor.
Pai Gow Poker is the split-hand progressive format on the pit, with Fortune Pai Gow adding the jackpot side bet.
Ultimate Texas Hold’em is the multi-street raise-or-fold progressive variant.
Mystery Card Roulette is worth explaining for visitors new to California tribal gaming: California law restricts traditional ball-and-wheel roulette at tribal casinos, so the Mystery Card format uses a card-based randomization system instead. The game experience and betting layout resemble standard roulette, but the outcome comes from dealing cards rather than spinning a ball.

Hotel & Resort Amenities
Spa Resort and Casino is a full destination resort with an on-site hotel, spa, swimming pool, fitness center, and on-property golf. Entertainment programming includes concerts, comedy shows, and a nightclub. Dining includes a steakhouse, and meeting space is available for events. Shopping is available on the resort campus.
The spa is the amenity that most distinguishes the property from the Agua Caliente Band’s other gaming venues. The natural hot springs on this land have been used for healing and hospitality for centuries, and the modern spa continues that tradition alongside the casino operation.
