Spotlight 29 Casino, Native American casino in Coachella, United States.
Spotlight 29 Casino is a 250,000-square-foot casino in Coachella, California, owned by the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians. Its gaming floor holds 1,600 slot machines, including a high-limit area and the most penny games in the Coachella Valley, plus 22 table games such as blackjack, Fortune Pai Gow and Mini Baccarat. The building also contains two restaurants, a coffee shop, four bars and the 2,200-seat Spotlight Showroom.
Spotlight 29 Casino opened in January 1995 under the National Indian Gaming Regulatory Act of 1988, which let the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians operate a casino. In March 2001 the tribe partnered with Donald Trump, and the venue reopened as Trump 29 Casino on April 2, 2002. The partnership ended in 2006, the original name returned, and renovations added a 1,200-vehicle parking structure and about 150,000 square feet of space.
The casino is owned and operated by the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians. The 2,200-seat Spotlight Showroom has hosted the band's annual Winter POW WOW and the Theresa A. Mike Scholarship Foundation's annual fashion show. The Chairman's Lounge stages comedy shows and screenings of UFC and boxing events.
Gambling on the property is open to guests 18 and older, not 21. The casino sits off Interstate 10 in Coachella, with a 1,200-vehicle parking structure on site. Inside are two restaurants, a coffee shop and four bars, so a visit can be combined with a meal.
The on-site showroom hosts major concerts, sporting events, and other performances for thousands of guests simultaneously. Many visitors come specifically for these entertainment offerings rather than gaming alone.
