Morongo Casino

I went to Morongo for the weekend with my parents and brother for a little family getaway.  I’ve been to Morongo casino a couple of times and its fun but I’ve never stayed in one of their rooms.  Morongo is the only casino I know that is 18 and over and with free wifi for guest.

Our room was on the 22nd floor the view was of the mountains.  The room had a living room and 2 bathrooms with a sliding door dividing the bed room and the living room.  Each room had its own ac system which was nice.  The bathroom by the front door didn’t have a lock so it was kind of like wtheck man.  The main bathroom had a Jacuzzi tube so that was cool but it was very dimmed in the bathroom wish it was a little brighter.

They have 2 swimming pools a shallow one for kids and a regular one.  There is also a lazy river and a water slide with 2 Jacuzzi, a pool side bar and cabanas for rent.

We had dinner at Potrero Canyon Buffet it had a nice selection I tried lamb for the very first time and it wasn’t that bad.  I love their mushroom risotto! I wasn’t too happy with where they sat us we were stuck in their private room area which would have been fine if it didn’t feel like they stuck every big group of family with crying babies in there.  So that was kind of disappointing.

Food court area has a couple of different things; there is Panda Express, Fatburger which is open 24/7, Nathan’s Hotdog, Haagen Daz, and LA Italian.  I tried Fatburger for the first time! Well just their chili cheese fries and it was delicious!  There is a couple other restaurant and bars around the casino that I didn’t catch the name off.

There is also an outlet down the street! Yay shopping! It is call Desert Hills Premium Outlets also known as Cabazon Outlet. Lots of stores to check out like Coach, D&G, Gucci, and more.  Anyways here are some pictures of the room!

Super Mini Vacation

The boyfriend and I felt like we needed to get away for a day to relax and enjoy each other’s company without any interruptions from our phones and people.  So we deiced to get a room for a night at a hotel to relax and unwind. We checked into Fairfield Hotel, I’ve never stayed here before so I didn’t know how it was going to be.  But it was actually nice!  The staff was super friendly knowing it was our first time there; they even called to check up on us.  We got a room with 2 queen because they were sold out of the rooms with a King bed.  The room wasn't that big pretty much just enough walk space for 1 person to go through at a time from the bathroom to the front door. There is free wifi for guest and breakfast in the morning from 6am-9am.  The breakfast wasn’t bad it was actually good and they also have a waffle maker! I love waffles!

That afternoon we went swimming in the pool which is 3 feet to 8 feet deep. There is also a gym but it isn’t that big and a small Jacuzzi.  For dinner we just went to Costco and ordered a pizza, watched movies, and talked.  It just felt so wonderful we really haven’t been alone in a long time and just being able to relax and talk the night away was one of the best things ever!  The next day after breakfast and checking out we went to see fast and furious 6.  It was awesome! I loved it but I was kind of sad they killed off the couple wont say who in case some people who are reading this still haven't seen it.  At the ending I guess during credits or before got me confused a little just because I don’t remember all the fast and furious movies.  But overall it was a good movie and I liked it!
