One of my mom's favorite casinos, her birthday wish was to stay there, which we did. The service was great from the valet service to the lobby checking in. I'm not of much of a gambler but it was great to hang out with my family and mom

The short version
What visitors say about Fantasy Springs Resort Casino
A lot of Fantasy Springs visitors are there for the music. Free cover bands play the Rock Yard, and regulars say to get there early if you want a seat; other nights bring tribute acts and local bands. The food holds up better than you might expect, with kind words for the restaurants and bartenders, and the pizza is the go to when you want something fast and inexpensive. The resort also has a hotel and its own golf course.
The slot floor is the sore spot. Two players were fed up that the house lets one person hold three or more machines at a time while others wait, and several felt the payouts had turned stingy. Reviewers also report rude treatment from dealers and bar staff. One group that visits the sports book every year found it stifling, and staff had no answer about the air conditioning.

Speaking in regards to bowling, snack bar staff was great, food was really good. Bowling staff is very helpful too. My son had a good time loves to cheer đź’™
We always have a great time here—every visit is such a great experience! The restaurants are fantastic, the bartenders are amazing, and we absolutely love the 12th floor club. The band Hwy 111 is always a highlight too. Can’t wait to come back! Thank you, Steve (our casino host), for always taking such great care of me and making every visit so enjoyable!

We go to Fantasy Springs for the musical entertainment, wjichbis vwey popular. The cover bands at Rock Yard are free and they are awesome. Go early to get a seat. Buy drunks inside the casino to save a couple bucks and request them in

Thank you, Desert, for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that you enjoy the musical entertainment and that your husband loves the Italian cafeteria's pizza. We appreciate your tips about the bars and seating at Rock Yard. Your feedback helps us continue to improve.
Stop here on my way to Phoenix and it was worth the stop. Wanted to kill about a half hour so I went in to sign up for the rewards and use some free play. It's only 10 bucks but hey that's fine with me. Play for a little bit after and walk out of there with $500. What's the final casino before you leave California for…
This was my first visit and I loved it. Went with my daughter. I signed up for a players card right. Sit down at my first machine and won. This continued throughout the day. Great variety of the newest games and plenty of the old

If you’re used a to regular casinos where you can actually get to play slots then don’t come here. They prefer to just let their locals play 3,4,5 machines at a time making other people wait. I was told their policy is as long as they can push the buttons on the machine there Is no limit to the number of machines you…
We did not stay at the hotel, but we always go to the sports book once a year and it’s so hot. They don’t have enough air-conditioning and we asked the employees and they didn’t really have an answer they said it’s been turned on !It’s not
One star, and it's earned. I was a regular here — several visits a month, hundreds of dollars every time, all tracked on my Fantasy Rewards card. I'm writing this so other players and the casino itself understand what their loyal business
Losing casino. If you are lucky enough to get a machine they will let you play as many as you can touch, so they have one person grabbing entire rows of slots so other people can’t play. Pretty much ch opposite
Of every other casino. So if that’s your thing, come here.
Dated casino with lots of broken machines and poor service. Good luck trying to flag down a slot attendant when the machine you want to play inevitably breaks down. You’d think a casino of this caliber, with a resort, theater, and multiple restaurants, would have things running a little more smoothly.
For a place…
Horrible experience.
I went there and ate some fish tacos after playing some slot machines ended up having to get picked up by an ambulance. My fiance ended up going days after my
