It finally got to be such a problem (we probably played 40 or 50 different machines and found this to be a common problem though-out) we just stopped using our card. We sometimes had to insert the card 3-4 and up to a dozen times before it would recognize the player.if at all. The only problem we found with the machines was that they often could not read the players card. I found them to be quite busy for a Sunday evening. The ventilation system was adequate, so smoke was not an issue throughout the casino. The casino was no different than any nice casino in Vegas, plenty of slots in all denominations, all the table games and even a non smoking area for machine players. I informed the front desk and they said it was unusual for someone to start maintenance that early and they would file a report. Could not make out if it was above us, or next door, but enough to wake us up. The biggest problem was that someone was doing construction (drilling and hammering) at 7:15 in the morning. needed a battery change and one of the sinks were stopped up in the bathroom. The only problem we had with the room was a bulb being burned out on one side of the bed, one of the remotes for the t.v. I would highly recommend the suite over a standard room if there is not much difference in cost. Plenty of great lighting, two areas to put on makeup and lots of space. It was actually 1 1/2 bathrooms, as they had a separate sink in another area that could be closed off to the main bathroom.

They had two large flat screen t.v.'s (living room and bedroom) and a separate bath and large shower. The room was fantastic with a large bar area, living room (with plenty of seating along with a dining table and 4 chairs) and separate bedroom with table, chair, etc. We took advantage of their 'end of winter' deal and took a suite for $129.00 with a $10.00 credit back to be used on property. The place is very nice, with lots of restaurants to choose from, food courts and a great place to just order coffee and desserts. It has been many years since last visiting Pechanga's casino.
