Best Pho that I have found in the Coachella Valley, definitely a step up from the competition "Pho Vu" down the street. Make sure to order the Spring Rolls, and they have decent Boba tea as well.

If you stay in the Coachella Valley, you MUST try this place!! The best sandwiches I have ever had. Do yourself a favor and order it on their famous jalapeno cheddar bread, you won't be disappointed. Also mention it's your first time and they'll give you a free bakery dessert (they have an amazing bakery as well).

This is a favorite local bar of mine, located at the Polo Grounds. Has an outdoor area and bar as well, with live music most of the time. Their pizza is also amazing for late night cravings.

This is the closest casino, and in my opinion the nicest one in the area. There is also a bowling alley here that the whole family can enjoy. Also check out Rock Yard on Saturday Nights in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Free rock-tribute performances.

An Indian-Wells favorite spot, you'll find a more seasoned mix of people here from all walks of life. Usually has live music and expect a line out the door on the weekend. During the day and evening, it is a restaurant that I have heard good things about but have not experienced yet.

Entertainment & Activities

This is a hidden gem in the desert, and if you are fan of BMW, racing, or just cars in general, you must check this place out. They have tracks here and allow you to drive and race many different BMW vehicles. Check out groupon as there is usually a deal on there, and also book at least a month ahead because it usually fills up quick. Highly recommended.
