When completed, the casino will feature 1,000 slots, 40 table games, a player's club, three restaurants, a 150-seat entertainment lounge, and a central bar on the casino floor. 

The design integrates elements that represent the Agua Caliente culture through subtle use of patterns, details, and materials.  According to WATG's project architect Brian Husting, "Fountains, railings, rounded turrets and blue concrete roof tile evoke the tribe's historic association with the Agua Caliente Spring and nearby water sources.  The décor includes a tribute to the tribe's history and several Indian artifacts, but it's not Indian themed." 

The architecture has a richly detailed elegance that may surprise casino customers.  "The design team is world-class," according to Palm Springs city planner Doug Evans, noting that the tribe's commitment to high quality is expressed in WATG's detailing of the project and in Dougal Design's selection of interior finishes. 

"We were able to fast-track the design and construction process to meet an ambitious opening date target of November 2003," notes Estrella, "thanks to great teamwork with the client and other consultants."
