Spotlight 29 Casino

The signage for RV parking was incomplete and I parked with several other RVs in the truck lot. Security knocked on the door and asked me to move to a different lot behind the garage. They also said I needed a 48 hour pass, took a picture of my ID, and license plate, and said that they would bring the pass to me in the other lot. They never did. There are no signs saying where to park an RV or to go in and request a parking pass. Otherwise it was a fine place to stay for the evening.

This is a great place to park overnight if you don't mind the car noises from the road nearby. It really wasn't that bad for me, but would park further away from pad noise since it woke my better half up at 1:30 and he could t get back to sleep. The casino is nice, smoky, but nice. We had a nice dinner in the Taproom. I would have given it a five star review had it not been for the smoky casino.

I definitely do not recommend, unless you're goal is to stay awake all night. Currently writing this review at 2am due to inability to sleep. Parked near I10 in RV section. Trucks have been coming in all night with not a single spot available. Don't need to worry about the traffic noise.... you won't hear it over the hundred trucks running their engines all night.

This casino has dedicated RV and semi lots and they are HUGE. I parked along the I10 side and was alone. I had my slides out, awning out, and was able to run the genny as long as I wanted without a care (I 10 is way louder than my genny!). Easy access to the casino and restautants. I don’t gamble, but I am more than happy to buy a meal as a thank you for the parking space.

I went to bed last night parked on the outer edge of the second to last row (per the RV Parking instructions). I got up this morning to find a truck parked on my driver's side in the incoming driving lane and another one is the parking space right next to me. I really don't understand why the trucks would park amongst the RVs unless there really was no other choice. The generator noise is quite annoying. Not sure why they run generators all night long anyway.

That said, I had a nice meal in the casino at the Taproom yesterday evening. And, most importantly, I felt safe to stay here and would do so again.

I stayed at Morongo Casino a few nights ago. It was VERY nice. So I decided to try my luck here. Meh. I got there late afternoon. The lot was fairly empty, so I drove around until I found a level spot, away from other RV's and Semi's. I settled in and my 9:00 I was surrounded by semi trucks, with generators running. I was too tired or lazy to move, and since the lot was crowded, I wasn't sure I could do any better.
It is about 100 yards from I-10, but traffic noise wasn't an issue because you couldn't hear traffic over the Semi's running all night. (For me, one loud generator is annoying; lots of them in the background is sort of like white noise, so it didn't keep me awake).
Someone in another review complained about burrs in the dog walk area, and I thought "what a petty complaint." That was until I walked my dog there. He limped back to the van and I pulled the burrs out of his feet pads and between his toes. When I got into my van, my sandals sounded like velcro as I walked onto the carpet. I had dozens of burrs buried in my soles, and as I moved, they detached and got embedded into the rub. I picked them out all night and all morning the next day. I'll be picking them out for days to come. They are about the size of a cooked rice grain, covered with tiny, hooked barbs. Nasty!

We stayed here two different times on our way to AZ in Oct 2020 and Feb 2021. There is a gas station and small food stop down the road on the way in if you want fast food. Casino has good food too. Yes, there is freeway noise but it’s not an issue to us. We felt safe enough to stay a second time and Spotlight 29 will always be our stop for any trip to AZ from here on out.

This spot isn’t for everyone, but we loved it. Slept amazing. The white noise from cars on the highway sounded like one long train, which we both find super relaxing. The area is well lit, patrolled, and has several trash bins that are emptied regularly. The lot is huge, so there is plenty of space for slide outs and awnings.

We came here specifically to ride out a very bad wind storm. The huge lot allowed us to park facing into the wind and use commercial trucks to block the gusts. Our cat is fascinated by semi trucks, so he also enjoyed this spot. We’d definitely stay here again, even if there wasn’t a wind storm.
