“The one and only oversight we made in the original resort was not building a spectacular pool,” said Edith Atwood, president of the Pechanga Development Corporation. Five spas, 27 cabanas and The Coveside Grill restaurant and bar round out the amenities. A family pool sports two waterslides and a splash pad. It has three pools, including an infinity-edge main pool with a swim-up bar, Baja shelf and waterside day beds. Pechanga’s out-sized, $300 million expansion came with an equally extensive, 4½-acre pool complex called The Cove.

And it’s weeks away from the June 29 opening of a new 15,000-square-foot, glass-enclosed non-smoking casino area as well as an expanded main casino floor, by 10,000 square feet, and its centerpiece Marquise Bar.īut a lot of the action at casinos this summer will be happening outside.Įarlier this year, Pechanga Resort & Casino and Viejas Casino & Resort debuted new pool areas that were part of larger expansion projects that added an additional hotel tower at each property.
