Since the coronavirus pandemic, many buffets at tribal casinos in the region have been closed. While many Las Vegas casinos have reopened their buffets, some casinos in Southern California have abandoned the concept altogether, including Casino Pauma, Agua Caliente Casino Palm Springs, Harrah’s Resort Southern California, and Pala Casino, Spa & Resort.

The buffets at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino and Valley View Casino have since reopened.

At the Morongo Casino Resort and Spa, the old Potrero Canyon Buffet is reinvented as a buffet-style concept inspired by food halls and led by a famous chef.

The reopening of the Serrano Buffet is the latest gastronomic development of the Yaamava ‘Resort & Casino. The Pines Modern Steakhouse recently reopened in a new location. It moved from the second floor of the casino to the first floor, near the entrance to the hotel’s new tower, which debuts on December 13.

The new hotel tower features a lobby bar and lounge, 24-hour in-room dining, and on the 17th floor, the Y lounge, an exclusive space that offers food and drink to VIP guests. The complex also includes a swimming pool with a restaurant, but which won’t open until spring.
