Being cheap, as most college kids are, we still went to Pechanga's official site to find a reservation through them, but their online reservation system was down for maintenance. We shopped around at the different travel discount sites, and came upon a great rate for a suite from Orbitz for only a little over $200 a night. On Thursday we looked at the many casinos around Southern California and decided Pechanga looked the best. Before going back to college we wanted to go gamble and take a mini-vacation out to an Indian Casino (We are not yet 21 so no Vegas for us). Over the weekend my best friend/coworker and I experienced one of the worst hotel stays we have ever experienced. On Sunday morning we drove out to Pechanga (2-3 hour drive), and found out that you have to be 21 to gamble there which isn't clearly stated on their website (If at all) and was not told to us over the phone. So I did just that and booked the suite for one night onto my credit card. I informed her of the room that we found on Orbitz and she said we should snap that up as soon as possible. We called the reservation number and were helped by a nice lady who listened to our vacation plans, but told us that unfortunately they were all booked up for Sunday August 19th-Monday August 20th.
