Tachi Palace Casino
Located about 3.5 hours from San Francisco and 3.1 hours from Los Angeles, Tachi Palace Casino is a great midway point between the two cities. The casino resort is closest to Fresno, at just about 45 minutes south of the city. Stay for a while and enjoy the full on-site casino, live entertainment, restaurants, a spa, and a pool.
The luxury rooms and suites provide the pampering you deserve for less than you’d pay in places like Vegas. Plus, you’re close to lush attractions like Sequoia National Park. Here’s what you’ll find at Tachi Palace.
Stay in Luxury
With 255 no-smoking rooms and suites, expect rooms with platform beds, high thread count sheets, in-room 40-inch HD TVs, and more. The Loft and VIP Loft suites feel like a home away from home.
As a hotel guest, you have access to an on-site spa and a sparkling pool lined with lounge chairs on the patio. The pool resembles a bow tie with a narrow, curved pool that connects the two bow-shaped pools. It’s glorious.
Find Every Game Imaginable
The casino resort boasts a huge selection of gaming machines. There are more than 2,000 slots and table games. Progressive slots are a specialty. At the time of this review, the progressive jackpot for Little Shop of Horrors slots was nearing $102,000.
Some of our favorite slots are found on the casino floor. If you’ve never played Magic Pearl or Sahara Gold, we recommend them both.
There’s a separate high-limit room with 80 slot machines. The high-limit room also offers food and beverage service and dedicated casino hosts.
Table games are also available, and there’s a special Table Games Gift of the Month for players who play table games at least three hours from Monday to Thursday. The gift at the time of our review was a laptop backpack. With more than 21 table games and live dealer tables, you’ll find plenty to keep you busy in here.
Tuesday through Saturday, Tachi Palace offers Bingo starting at 3 p.m. Evening games start at 6:25 p.m. Check out the special 2x multiplier that doubles your prize if you get a winning Bingo with a double-digit number as the winning number.
