The others ordered the chicken and our friends ordered steak and lobster. I ordered the shrimp with homemade tagliatelle. We ordered the charcuterie plate with our drinks and it arrived with some small pieces of thinly sliced salami, diamond cut small pieces of cheese, olives & cornichons and some slices of baguette white bread. I had the raspberry lemon martini & it was excellent. We had champage, 2 martinis and 1 rum & coke. There is a happy hour and the prices are reduced by half and so are the 'small plates' but not the appetizers. If you get there at 5:00, you can see the incredible view. We had dinner at the restaurant up at the very top of the casino called the Cielo which opens up at 5:00 PM. There is FREE valet parking which is a great service but you obviously should always leave a tip. The casino is an Indian casino so beware that smoking is allowed if you're sensitive or have allergies. We get offers from the casino for overnight stays, $15 match plays, buffet deals, etc., so instead of driving home late at night, we stayed overnight and used a coupon. Some friends we met on a cruise ship live in Mission Viejo and we're renting in North Palm Springs and since we all like to gamble, we opted to meet at Morongo Casino, Resort & Spa.
