Agua Caliente Casinos Introduce New Unified Brand and Unveil New Amenities

ENHANCEMENTS INCLUDE ALL-NEW DINING AND BEVERAGE OPTIONS IN AN UPSCALE GAMING ENVIRONMENT

Rancho Mirage and Palm Springs, Calif. (February 28, 2019) – The Agua Caliente Casinos in Rancho Mirage and Palm Springs have today announced a new brand that unifies the properties under one name. Under the new unifying Agua Caliente Casinos name, the Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa will now be known as Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa Rancho Mirage and the Spa Resort Casino will now be known as Agua Caliente Casino Palm Springs.

Visualizing this unification is the Washingtonia filifera, or desert fan palm, the only indigenous palm to the area, rising above the springs. Both of these symbols have significant relevance to the Agua Caliente Casinos as these elements have been a part of the surrounding California landscape for time immemorial. The new brand mark distinguishes the Agua Caliente Casinos and stands as a unifying moniker for the casino properties, symbolizing the best of what the Coachella Valley has to offer.

Leading up to the introduction of this new unified brand, the Agua Caliente Casinos have unveiled a number of new amenities at the Rancho Mirage and Palm Springs properties offering more for guests at both locations, all in an upscale gaming environment. At the Agua Caliente Casino Resort Spa Rancho Mirage, enhancements include the addition of the luxurious Pívat Cigar Lounge along with a newly reimagined design at the resort’s award-winning fine dining restaurant, The Steakhouse, the openings of a new centrally located Casino Bar and of 360 Sports, a state-of-the-art sports viewing complex with a full bar and dining menu, updates to the Coachella Valley’s only live Poker Room, new High Limit Slots and High Limit Table Games Rooms, and the opening of Club Mezz, a new nightlife destination located inside The Show. The Agua Caliente Casino Palm Springs welcomes the opening of Java Caliente Café and the reopening of the Oasis Buffet, which underwent a number of renovations that brought both a new design to the restaurant and also opened up more space on the casino’s gaming floor.

“This is an exciting time for the Agua Caliente Casinos as we refine and enhance the guest experience at our luxurious resort in Rancho Mirage and our gaming and dining offerings at our Palm Springs property, and it’s also the perfect time to introduce a new unified brand where one name truly says it all,” Agua Caliente Casinos Chief Operating Officer Saverio R. Scheri III says. “We are thrilled to invite guests to enjoy all of our extraordinary additions and enhancements in an upscale resort environment with excellent service. Both of our properties have everything casino guests are looking for, and it’s all happening now.”
