If you were to ask me what the most Vegas-style casino is in California, I would say Pechanga. The video poker selection here is more extensive than the other California tribal casinos I have been to, and they have better paytables, and a variety of bet denominations to choose from. I found the casino to be very clean, bright, airy and lively, without being too crowded or overly smoky. Lots of casino attendants, and The parking was free, plentiful and close to the casino, unlike some other casinos (I'm looking at you, Yaamava). I like their food court, and the grounds in general are beautiful and relaxing. Can't make it to Vegas? Come here, and you will feel like you are in Vegas! JustShane

For a video poker player, this place is definitely among the worst....which is a disappointment, because I had such high expectations. The size of this casino is HUGE! Slots as far as the eye can see......but finding the video poker machines here is like hunting for truffles in a forest. So few machines, and so spread apart and difficult to find. Then when you do find them....what a disappointment. The best machines I found were only 8/5 for JoB, and they went down from there. Also there are minimums for any bet lower than $1, so they are not exactly "budget friendly" if, like me, you enjoy a long evening of JoB or another low volatile game. Your money goes quick here. Avoid this place on the weekend at all costs. The streets around here are jammed, and you can tell this place doesn't have the infrastructure it needs to handle as much traffic as it gets. Parking is a nightmare as well on the weekends. I can get in and out of DISNEYLAND better than this place! Food options......well......they have a buffet which obviously sells out very quickly, and this weird "food court" which is basically you just ordering from a computer screen and being served cafeteria food. I didn't see any real, recognizable food "brands" here. If you are a slots player that loves to go to an overcrowded casino with bad odds, bad food, and bad parking, then Yaamava is your place! Otherwise, for us VP players, it's obvious they don't cater to our crowd. Save your money and go elsewhere. JustShane

Bad news: Spirit Mtn is remodeling the back room in the Sports Book area and replacing machines with Top Golf simulators. That area used to have 26 of their best VP machines including a bank of 25c progressive JoB machines. Now the only VP in the Sports Book area is one bank of 4-5 Game King multigames. I can't really see Golf Simulators being a popular attraction with the Spirit Mountain crowd - but we will see. Most of the pay tables are still available (except for the bank of 25c JoB progressive machines) - there are just a lot less machines available now. They are clearly looking to replace all their old machines with the Game King multigames that offer many games including 8/5 JoB at 25c, and 9/5 JoB and 7/5 BP at $1. Clearly a VP downgrade casino wide :( pdx
