Once a nomadic tribe covering the territory of Utah, Arizona and southern Nevada, the reservation lands of the 29 Palms Band of Mission Indians are in San Bernardino County in California. The city of Twentynine Palms (29 Palms) in the Coachella Valley was named for the palm trees located at the Oasis of Mara, and in December 2007 the tribe unveiled its casino resort project that helps to fund housing, education and financial security for tribal members.

Opening in time for the 4 July holiday is Phase 1 of the Spotlight 29 Casino remodel. Part of the remodelling is a new entrance from the parking garage. Guests can now park in the cool shaded comfort of the garage and easily enter the casino from the garage's 2nd floor. Adding to the fun is the casino's "Parking Lot Bingo" promotion. Visitors who park on the 2nd level of the parking garage on Wednesdays from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., could win $100 cash if their parking space number is drawn.

Also opening is a newly remodelled casino cage that gives customers easier access for transactions. Frequent casino-goers will notice the slot floor has been reconfigured, and now finding a favorite game is easier than ever. "This remodel is all about our guests," said Jill Philbrook, marketing director for Spotlight 29 Casino. "We want to make the experience at Spotlight 29 as fun and exciting as possible, and the remodel will help us turn a great casino into an incredible casino."

Spotlight 29 is celebrating the remodel opening with "25 Days of Winning" in July, where guests could win their share of $25,000.00 cash. Starting July 7 and continuing through July 31, players could win $250 cash in one of the hourly drawings held nightly from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. There are also daily promotions, and guests are invited to visit the Club 29 Booth on the casino floor for all the fun details.

Phase II of the refurbishment will expand the Poker Room to 12 tables, open a new and luxurious player lounge, and an exciting high-limit gaming area. The casino presently has 2000 slots ranging from $100 machines to penny slots. There are 30 table games, including 6-deck, double deck and single deck Blackjack. Mini Baccarat and Pai-Gow Poker.
