In the heart of California's Coachella Valley, Spotlight 29 Casino brings together gaming, live entertainment, dining and nightlife while reflecting the ongoing economic development of the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians. Located just off Interstate 10 east of Indio, the casino offers travelers a convenient destination to enjoy entertainment and hospitality while exploring the desert communities of the Eastern Coachella Valley.
The Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians are descendants of the Chemehuevi, part of the larger Southern Paiute people whose ancestral homelands span portions of present-day California, Utah, Arizona and Nevada. The Tribe refers to itself as Nüwüwü, meaning "The People," and also honors its Desert Cahuilla and Luiseño heritage. These Indigenous traditions remain connected to the desert landscape and continue to shape the Tribe's community and cultural identity today.
Spotlight 29 Casino represents an important part of the Tribe's economic development and its continued exercise of sovereignty. Visitors will find more than 1,600 slot machines, table games, live entertainment and a variety of restaurants and bars, creating a destination where guests can spend an entire evening without leaving the property.
The Spotlight Showroom, with seating for approximately 2,200 guests, brings musicians, comedians and other performers to the Coachella Valley throughout the year. Dining ranges from casual sports-bar fare and pizza to Asian-inspired dishes, craft beverages and specialty cocktails, giving visitors plenty of ways to turn a casino visit into a complete night out.
