Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino

I'm sure this is a fabulous casino (we don't really qualify as gamblers) and were just looking for a good place to sleep. We asked and they said "no registration required" which is convenient :) They want the RVs to park at the extreme edge of their parking lot #3 where we disconnected our 5ER to level off and *drive* to the Casino for a beer.

It seems we were the only ones who followed their directions which put us right next to a busy -- and noisy -- street. Unless you have better luck with earplugs than I do, you will want to park further away from the streets too. Aside from that, it's a nice enough place -- had a great walk with our two cats on leashes the next morning and, of course, the price is right :)

We needed a place to rest for the night on a relocation along highway 99. This casino was a great little spot, with almost level parking lot. We parked near the edge of the lot, we didn't experience any noise as the other visitor said, but we are not very noise sensitive.

We usually try and patronize anywhere that let's us free camp so we stopped in the casino. We were offered a ride to the casino entrance by security, but after a day of driving we prefered the short walk. The casino is ok; the buffet was not available on the night we were there, which is normally our guilty pleasure on stops like this - better than gambling! We didn't fancy any of the restaurants, so instead a couple of craft brews at the bar.

All in all a pretty good free spot to get some rest.

It was clear that we were welcomed to park for the night. (Lot 3). It was quiet enough- after all, it is a casino parking lot.

We will definitely stay again when passing through.

Signs clearly mark Lot 3 as the place to park. Typical casino parking lot camping. Good buffet in the casino and the gas station usually offers the cheapest fuel in the area. Much quieter if you park on the farside away from the road.

Stayed here two nights. Security was always around, so we felt safe. Keep an eye out for strays if you have dogs. A couple ran right up to us. Seemed harmless though. The casino has restaurant and bar, movie theater, arcade and obviously gambling. Right next to a gas station as well.

Parking lot for campers and RVs is located right by their gas station and in the same vacinity semi’s. Very loud at night. Also had people walking through the parking lot to the gas station at all hours, throwing cans, yelling and fighting. Security did not drive through, but the “shuttle” carts drove by until 8pm. It’s free, but if you expect to get any sleep, don’t stay the night here. Between the semi’s idling all night, the traffic from the highway, the bright lights at the gas station and the constant ruckus in the parking lot, it doesn’t feel safe nor accommodating.

Parking lot is well lit. Random aggressive dogs running around from the "Rez". You can stay for 3 days or more. Decent food on the 3rd floor of the casino. Gas station is pretty rough on the weekends. Camera coverage from the casino is good but lock up your things.

Used Campendium to find us somewhere to park to sleep for night & why here. First - don't attempt to follow in to the main entrance, turn into empty lot just after entrance. That takes you to where they used to let people park. A steeply inclined gravel lot. Security came & told us we couldn't park, however, he ended up clearing us with casino/pd to start only for the night since it was closed the next day, so in a dire need, you may be able to get away with it.
We ended up leaving & parking at a pilot in Fresno because the RV wasnt gonna be good to sleep in in it's position.

We arrived around 4pm on a Saturday, having found this site on Campendium. The security gaurds were very friendly, advising us on where we were allowed to park our camper overnight and even where it would be the most quiet for us given other events. Parking lot 2 was well lit, with security on bikes and carts patrolling all night. The casino was nice and the bathrooms were clean. Food court and restraunts were moderately priced and decent.
