Palm Springs Mayor Robert Moon says he is “super excited” about the cultural center, which will be surrounded by a $450-million redevelopment project that includes restaurants, shops and hotels. “This museum,” he added, “is going to be a modern version of what our elders called the roundhouse - a special place to share our history, knowledge and culture with others.” “It’s important for the world to know who we really are: a people who lived here for centuries and prospered due to the strength and inspiration provided by our history, cultural traditions and spiritual connections to the land and water.” Grubbe, 40, chairman of the Agua Caliente tribe. “We’ll probably lose money on this project, but it’s a higher priority than building a hotel or another casino,” said Jeff L. It will be funded by the tribe’s two casinos and other businesses in the area. The new museum is expected to open in 2020 on land owned by the federally recognized 480-member tribe, which controls half the property in Palm Springs and operates two 18-hole championship golf courses. The tribe is already preparing to swap collections with the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington and to create a Cahuilla Indian curriculum for the Palm Springs Unified School District. Some described the rooms as comfortable and gorgeous, while others were frustrated with long wait times at the front desk and an inconsistent housekeeping staff.Last month, the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians announced plans to build an $80-million cultural center in downtown Palm Springs, with a 48,000-square-foot museum, gardens, and a spa and bathhouse built over hot mineral springs. Recent visitors offer uneven reviews for the accommodations and customer service. Accommodations are comfortably appointed with custom-made Italian furniture, flat-screen TVs, fully-stocked minibars and views of the mountain, valley or golf course. Should you be in the mood for kicking back, take advantage of the pool complex, or retire to your room. The resort also houses a variety of relaxing activities away from the casino floor, such as the beautiful golf course and the 25,000-square-foot spa, which offers everything from facials to full-body massages. But according to recent guests, that's not the only reason to make the trek to Pechanga. Located in Temecula, California - about 60 miles north of San Diego - the Pechanga Resort & Casino draws visitors with its primary feature: 200,000 square feet of gaming space and a wide variety of ways to test Lady Luck.
