Phish In Indio For Halloween 2009?

Book your flights, book your hotel rooms, book your tickets... all signs are pointing to Phish playing a three night Halloween weekend throwdown in the heart of California casino country on October 30, 31 and November 1st.

Five or so years ago, Miss Monkay and I headed out to Indio, California (near Palm Springs) to go see Radiohead, Kraftwerk, Stereolab and a slew of other freaks playing out there. After scorching in the 115 degree desert heat for two days, we tapped out and decided to get the hell outta there and head back to LA... hitting as many casinos we could on the way back.

If the Phish event is to be held at the same place as Coachella (The Empire Polo Fields) I doubt there will be camping on site, unless they greatly limit the number of cars that can enter... traffic in and out of Coachella during festival nights is the clusterfuck of the ages.

For those looking for hotels in area that have the casino option, check out Spa Resort Casino and Agua Caliente in Palm Springs... they should do you just fine.

Pennsy Gov Opens Door To Table Games

Live in PA? Hate slots? Hate driving to Atlantic City? Do something about it... contact your local state representative and tell them that you want table games in Pennsylvania casinos.

Why? Governor Ed Rendell said he'd consider the idea should the state legislature sent him a bill authorizing it, stepping away from his long professed opposition to table games.

Agua Caliente Casino Resort and Spa Review

Having tried almost all the major southern California casinos, I found myself coming back again and again to Agua Caliente Casino Resort and Spa in Rancho Mirage about 20 minutes east of Palm Springs.

There are several reasons why I like Agua Caliente over other properties despite it being further from me than most local casinos: the drive is easy and scenic, the service is good, the casino rocks, and the hotel itself can rival most of the better options in Vegas. If you want the nitty gritty, read on.

Getting There

Sands Bethlehem : The Finished Product (Phase I)

A few months before the grand opening of Sands Bethlehem, FJ reader extraordinaire Tom M climbed over hill, dale, bridge and construction fence to get the most comprehensive photos of the entire Sands Bethworks development ever assembled.

After seeing the photos, the biggest question on most of our minds was 'how the hell are they gonna get this done in time?' Get it done, they did and opened to rousing business over its first week of operation.

Tom's Sands Bethlehem Trip Report

FJ reader Tom (aka bat55w sent in a Sands Bethlehem trip report to accompany the photos in the previous posts. Here goes:

Some thoughts on Sands Bethlehem... I didn't want to get up early and go stand in line. This isn't Vegas and lets face it, its a soft opening so there wasn't going to be alot of hoopla anyway since the official opening is on June 9th. There will be celebrities and Sheldon and alot of hand shaking and congratulating etc etc on that day. I will probably go check that out to see who shows up. Anyway, I got there at about noon. Traffic wasn't too bad although the main traffic light out in front of the casino wasn't working yet. The overall vibe is industrial as you would imagine. From the self parking garage, there were no signs pointing the way to the elevators. All there was were the doors in the picture I took. Since they were the only ones it was intuitive but if you are parked far away from the doors, it is not easy to figure out where to go.
