Overall pretty nice indian casino.....definite casual crowds, could use more parking....
ate at Coyote Grill, tasty eats, friendly fast service, priced real fair (sandwiches $7-10). nice atmosphere.
gaming was usual faire but they did have a gal on the floor paying slot tickets...no need to stand in line she comes to you....had not seen that before. they do have the spinning card roulette but only one table.
noticed more smoke than most other places but they had a hip hop thing going on outside so maybe that was part of it... -

We came in Sunday night to avoid the traffic into Fresno. The casino was busy! The hotel room was spacious and clean, with a large flat screen, coffee pot, hair dryer, nice towels and furniture. We enjoyed it!! We booked last-minute and got a really good deal.

Holy cow. I thought Chukchansi was big..this was BIGGER. I went here to just play bingo and dang there were a lot of people who likes the same game. The casino itself was really big. I didn't even get to see the whole casino. I don't even know how big the rooms are here but from a distance, it was big.

Casino review only (we did eat at the Coyote Grille, but it's not worth mentioning again, so let's just leave it at that)...
This casino is great. It's big, it has great variety for any type of gambler and paid out very nicely. $20 got me over $800 on slots & tables, so that's a pretty nice average (we played for over 5 hours).
Machine variety is vast, including choices of games and denominations. I can't express enough how I wish this casino was located close to home (we stopped by here on the way home to LA from the Bay) - this would surely beat out the competition! No San Diego or So. Cal casino seems to match the bar that Tachi is at.
The hotel offers seemed great too, we vacillated a bit if we wanted to stay (under $100/night, actually, under $75!, which is unheard of for a hotel - SD casino's charge upwards of $200/night), and now kind of wish we had (the traffic was disastrous).
Again, definitely try this out. Most players seemed to make their money last, even if not big wins (I actually stayed at one machine for an hour never going + / - more than $20). Didn't hear any screams for a big payout, so maybe the machines are a little tighter, but considering they seem to be the only casino in this big middle of nowhere, that's a bit understandable.
There is a small 21+ area, which I did want to try out, but I'm always wary of cornered off sections (like this, or like non-smoking), maybe just a silly feeling of the machines not paying out like they do on the regular floor.
If your in the area, or passing by, test your luck out! -

I stayed here 3 nights during the World Ag Expo, otherwise I'd never be out here. Truly in the middle of nowhere! That being said, I would stay here again if I was in the area.
I checked into a non-smoking king room on Monday, it was very clean and pretty big for a standard room. 42" flat screen tv, writing desk, sitting chair and VERY comfortable king sized bed. Unfortunately the casino and hotel had lost its liquor license, so no alcohol was on the premise. After a quick drive to the store, this problem was fixed. We ate at the grill just before entering the casino. The food was okay, but heavy in my stomach. The service was very SLOW. I had the eggplant parmesan - it was forgettable. The casino was clean and not as smoky as everyone complained. I played blackjack for a little while and was winning!
Tuesday morning, the shower was barely hot, even turned up all the way. This was odd. I later found out there was a big water leak Saturday night and the problem was soon resolved. The Starbucks opened at 6am and didn't have hot coffee. Their machine was broken so they only had cold drinks. That would be fixed later too. That night we ate at the grill again, this time I had salmon. Better than the eggplant but the service was so slow I vowed not to go back again. More gambling, more winning. A pleasant experience!
Wednesday the shower was back to normal, the coffee at Starbucks was hot and everything seemed fine. We went out for sushi that night, then returned back to the hotel for drinks in the suite on the 7th floor before hitting the casino. I won playing blackjack all three nights!
The pool looked nice, but I only saw it when it was dark outside. I didn't use the exercise room - they have about 3 treadmills and a small cable machine.
Overall, a nice stay. -

I spent the weekend At the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino with 3 of my girlfriends. it's a desert oasis. We ate, we drank, we danced, but best of all, we soaked in the sun at the pool. I wasn't what to think of the idea of spending my weekend in the middle of the desert but after arriving, i was quite impressed by the aesthetic, service, and overall experience.
During the day we ate at the Coyote Grill, in the evening we hit up the buffet, and in the evening we attended the DEN (the nightclub). It pulls a huge crowd at the DJs were on their A-game, mind you we are used to partying in Hollywood so we were quite impressed.
All in all, a great weekend. i wish I had brought my mother to their poolside brunch. Perhaps next year. -

Not being a casino type, I am writing this review directed purely at the hotel side. The room provided was absolutely top-notch. The room layout and decor, although centered on the Tachi theme, was oddly European and reminded me of Le Meridien in Munich (a favorite). Comfortable bed. 52" plasma TV. Large luxury shower. The bathroom amenities were of the highest quality.
I didn't eat at the hotel, however I took constant advantage of the downstairs coffee bar, which served well-crafted beverages.
The feral dog which roams the parking lot provided me with a moment of anxiety, but a peace offering of tri-tip, flung at knuckleball speed, distracted her long enough for me to beat a hasty retreat. -

Cotton field, cotton field, pig farm, Indian gaming casino and hotel resort, cotton field, dairy processor, cotton field...
That, folks, is about where Tachi Palace is.
The man and I went to the hotel and resort portion of this complex last night for a company function. We didn't step foot in the casino bit, but the hotel was mighty nice given its location and what I suppose the majority of its patrons must be like. (Hate to sound snobbish here, but who stays in a hotel in the middle of nowhere so they can gamble at a casino in the middle of nowhere? I don't think the majority of the hotel's patrons are business travelers...)
The banquet hall was really quite nice: the caterers and wait staff were friendly; the food was Ok (it was a corporate catered buffet, so I wasn't expecting the Four Seasons); and the sound and lighting were really professionally done. Tachi Palace truly outdid my expectations. -

Wow! Tachi is not where you would expect to find an aging Yelper like me, but that's where I was last night.
That is a weird place. Let's just say, smoking is legal on the Reservation.
One weird thing: you smell better after a night of drinking and smoking than you do after a shower in their rooms.
I won't be back, but I'll never forget. -

This is a hole.
Yes, it looks truly fine from the outside. The resort tower has this modern feel about it and the casino mixes a native American design with the modern casino look. But, when you enter this joint you realize that this casino is a true dump. The smoking is awful in the the place, the machines are in shoddy condition, there is not a friendly sort among the staff or crowd, the cashier lines go forever and the computer operations of the machines and payouts are often down.
Also, this place really is what they mean by the middle of nowhere. In Wikipedia under nowhere, they have Tachi. Do yourself a favor and go to Las Vegas to gamble but if you must go Native American there are way better choices. The again, what was I doing here in the first place. -

This place was by far the weirdest hotel I have ever stayed at! The reason why we stayed here is because my dad was visiting from WI and he had a meeting with a food company to bid on a multi-million dollar welding job.
Lets just say this hotel is in the middle of no where. All that surrounds you is fields of nothing and maybe a few houses. If you like to gamble it wouldn't be so bad but it defiantly wasn't Las Vegas. The hotel itself was very clean but in the casino area you can smoke and you don't have many choices for restaurants.
I would say the best part of this whole hotel experience was the pool. It was actually a nice area to relax and hang out. Would I stay there again? Probably not, unless my dad had to come out again and I wanted to visit him. -

My husband and I went to the casino at Tachi Palace and decided to eat at the Coyote Grill--this was our first visit and I will never, ever eat there again.Horrible service and food--my salad had plastic in it after I had eaten a majority of it. The waitress was not help full in resolving this issue, not to mention the place smell like a big cigarrett. Restaurants need to be help to a higher standard when cooking and preparing food for the public. Stay away!!

I stayed at the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino in March with a friend who was picking up her Grandson from Lemoore Naval Air Base, and we had a decent time. I'm not much of a gambler, and the casino has a HORRIBLE ventilation system for the cigarette smoke ... my gambling money was gone in a very short time. The restaurant was pricey, the service 'eh' but the food was delicious!!! So, when the opportunity came for me to visit someone about thirty miles from there, I decided to check out the rates, and booked a room for the weekend in May.
Upon arrival we were greeted by the FREE Valet, who promptly called for a Bellman to take our belongings to our room, and drove my vehicle off to park it. The woman working at check-in was very courteous, although they had us booked in a smoking room, which she graciously changed. Our room was immaculate!! It smelled good, looked good, and had a beautiful view overlooking the swimming pool. Our beds were comfortable, free FAST wireless Internet, the shampoo, conditioner and all the other little extras were great too! They have q-tips, cotton balls, and a shower cap too!!! AND if you need a sewing kit, they'll send one to your room. BEST shower I've ever had in a hotel, except the water stinks! LOL
Their pool area is lovely, with a lot of very nice chaise lounges, tables with chairs and umbrella's, as well as cabana's! The pool is interesting (see pix), they have a kiddie pool, and their main pool is only five feet deep which is fine, there are two hot tubs and a spa where one can get facials, or a massage, etc.
Our first night we listened to Kareoke as our room was directly above the Wet Bar, however, the music wasn't too loud, and most of the singing was decent, so my Grandchild was able to fall asleep at a fairly reasonable hour.
Our second night, we SUFFERED through someones 40th birthday party which had the WORST DJ EVER!! At 10 p.m., I called and asked to have our room changed as my Granddaughter could not go to sleep due to the varying volumes at which the DJ played music. There was no steady volume, it was blasted, to soft, to barely audible to pounding, and he was yelling a lot ... there were only about twenty people at the party. They graciously moved us two floors up ... STILL just above the Wet Bar. The Bellman told us how sorry he was, and went to talk with the night manager to see if there was a room on the other side of the hotel. Unfortunately, there was not. About ten minutes after getting moved, the manager called and offered us a late check out (we had to leave no later than 11 a..m. on Sunday, so it was of no use to us, but a nice offer) which of course I declined.
The staff at the hotel was superior to most hotels I've stayed at, so I'm not sure why all the reviews are so poor. Even with the noise issues, it wasn't nearly as bad as the other reviewers have stated. Since not ONE of them posted photos, I will and you can judge for yourselves.
As for the restaurants ... the Coyote Grill has decent food, at a reasonable price but the service SUCKED, it was worse than my first visit a few months before.
The Quail Plume Buffet was so-so, we had a buy one get one free coupon. We tried for dinner our first night there but the line was so long, and it was about a two hour wait. The day we left we went down for breakfast. They had typical breakfast foods out, cold scrambled eggs, greasy, cold bacon and sausage, flavorless potatoes, cold, hard waffles ... and a full buffet of chicken, prime rib, mashed potatoes, rice, a lot of Mexican food, and a GREAT selection of deserts.
Would I stay here again? Yes!!
For those who claim they can't find parking, try the free Valet and save five bucks to tip them as there is AMPLE parking that way, or you can park out in the back yourself, for free as well, don't be cheap, tip those guys and go have some fun.
The casino is what it is ... a casino, but one where as ALL casinos a person must be TWENTY ONE, not eighteen!! It's smokey, and loud.
There is also a Starbucks type coffee place which also serves ice cream, there are two or three little gift shops in there as well as a snack bar and bingo room.
I say it's good for kids because of the pool and buffet! -

Review of the Quail Grille buffet at Tachi Casino.
Buffet was OK for a casino, better than Hometown Buffet but not as good as some Reno casinos. They had salad bar, main entrees (pasta, tri-tip, ground beef), mexican (carnitas, bean), cakes, cupcakes, pie, pudding and canned fruit. The best thing there was the mashed potatoes. The buffet food area is not very big so if there is a crowd, it is a wait.
Soft drinks came with the buffet price, which is nice. Service is the best feature there and everyone was very nice. The place is very small and the tables are crowded in. They should really expand a bit more. The tables need the cashier is very smokey from the casino, so if you allergic to smoke ask for a table closer to the food buffet items, of course, if you don't like smoke, don't go to a casino.
I guess you shouldn't expect much from a Indian casino in the middle of nowhere. Probably go back if I want to go gambling near Visalia. -

This review is for the Den nightclub on Friday nights inside the Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino.
I have seen many bands in my day but nothing beats the musical stylings of the tribute band "Mr Rude".
They are now playing the Den nightclub every Friday night.
The new hotel at the casino is breathtaking! It's an architectural marvel!
This casino is right in the middle of nowhere but if your looking for a good getaway checking out Mr Rude is a must. You can drink and dance your stress away and then you can stagger into your room after lead singer Gary gives you a shot of tequila straight from the bottle! Mas Tequila!
Mr Rude is a tribute band that plays all the coolest hits from the most popular bands old and new. Wether you want to hear Linkin Park, Cheap Trick, Garth Brooks, Velvet Revolver, Guns n Roses, System of a Down, Metalicca..... the rude boys play all the hits! They even take requests!
If your looking for a great place to hang out, get some drinks, get your groove on, have fun and hear your favorite rock licks then the Den at Tachi Palace is the place to go.
The black jack is not half bad here either.
You can also catch Mr. Rude at Amigo's Restaurant in Visalia,CA on saturday nights but I recommend watching them here because Tachi palace has more of a vegas feel plus the hotel is in the same building so there's no need to drink and drive. -

First impression, great looking place from the outside for the middle of nowhere. The valet guys seem nice-younger high school boys. The front desk-Emily was friendly but they no longer had a non smoking room available or king bed. The room 5024 carpet was completely disgusting dark stains all over, the air was so polluted with smoke I could barely sleep and the 27" TV that you could barely see from your bed because the room was pretty big. We called the front desk again to see if there were any non smoking available they were suppose to check & return our call but never did. We went to sign up for the premiere club and the girl-Stephanie M. was very rude, rolling her eyes because we asked questions about the perks offered. Not someone that should be working in customer service, when we asked for her name her attitude changed a little.
My mom is a frequent here and always raves about it....but so far not too impressed with any part of it. The buffet was an hour wait for not so good food. Definitely 6th grade cafeteria like experience, especially with the decor and set up. Food on the floor, stations not stocked, somehow their system was just off. Lines for all food services even a hot dog stand....maybe that is a hint either hire more people that actually want to work and improve Tachi potential . We did not check out the clubs that are at the Casino, so sorry no comment available. But its great to know that Lemoore has concerts now-I guess Snoop Dog (old school) will be there in a couple weeks. -

Ok! The place smells like cigarettes bad, so if you don't like the smell, don't go! I like the bingo hall (except the food service girls suck). Takes them an easily 20 minutes to get me a coke (which I pay as I order). The buffet needs help, same thing and very blah. The diner restaurant is great, and the little food stand with hot dogs and chips always has a ton of flies in it (YUCK). So unless u like to gamble, it's nothing more than a smoke joint to me!

Lemoore does seem to be in the middle of nowhere, so I was surprised that there were so many people out in the middle of nowhere with me. I was hungry and headed through the Central Valley, so I guessed that Tachi would have a buffet. I think you can't get a gaming license unless you agree to provide a buffet for patrons. If that isn't a rule, Schwarzenegger should negotiate for it in the next round of talks.
Anyway, the buffet was pretty good and very reasonable. I think it was $8 or so for a midday lunch. No one seemed to notice the green chile pork fajitas on the side table, but they should have. They have a modern card room upstairs. There were mostly low limit tables and smaller buy-in no-limit games when I visited. No one should be surprised that they have an abundance of slot machines. Their blackjack tables use continuously variable shufflers even at high-stakes tables. That's disappointing because those shufflers really increase the house edge. What was more disappointing was that the staff seemed utterly uninterested that I couldn't get their players club card to work at the tables. The dealer would say it wouldn't scan. I'd ask the pit boss for help. He'd tell me to get a new card. I would stand in line for a new one. Then it would start all over again. They should want me to have one of those cards. Every business seems to want their customers to have loyalty cards, so why not make it easy for your customers? Pit bosses should be solving problems for the players at the tables. If they're unwilling to help with a simple issue, why should I expect that they'll be more helpful if there's a rules dispute or cheating by another party?
If I happen to be hungry and in the area (which seems unlikely - I mean I will definitely be hungry again, but I don't think I'll be in the area anytime soon), I'd visit the buffet, but no more games there for me.Listed in: California Casinos and Card…

We stayed for 3 days/2 nights. The room we had was very spacious and nicely decorated. Our view overlooked the parking lot and the surrounding houses but that was OK. The valet service associates, concierge, and bellhop service associates were always friendly and eager to help. The Quail Plum Buffet is mediocre. You want a great meal, eat a hotdog from Rez Dogs. Yummy!
My problems were the following:
1) Front desk wrote the wrong room number on our key cards. Not much of a big deal since the bell hop associate was able to find our correct room within a few minutes.
2) Housekeeping failed to clean our room in the morning. Again not a big deal until... while a group of us are changing into our bathing suits our hotel door opens without even a knock! It's housekeeping entering our room thinking we had checked out already. After she realizes the room is not empty is when she turns around to leave. I talk to her in the hallway to clear up the issue. Apologies were made, and she assured us our room would be cleaned while we are at the pool.
3) Final straw... the room was cleaned while we were at the pool. During a conversation in the room, I noticed 2 of our insulated Starbucks cups were gone from the room. We searched the room with no luck. We go to front desk to discuss the problem, and we were told the manager would call us upon her return from her dinner break. A good amount of time went by, and no call so we went back downstairs. I was told by front desk that housekeeping searched the trash, and nothing was found. Not a good answer for me! I asked to speak to the manager of housekeeping. I discussed the issue with her, and she blatantly tells me that it would be hard to confirm that the cups were actually in the room. By this point I was completely upset because I gave the benefit of the doubt to the housekeeping staff that the cups were mistakenly thrown away and not actually stolen. Now the manager is telling me I am basically lying about the cups being taken from the room. She sensed my anger so she asked us to wait while she gets the General Manager to speak to us. We waited for another 15 minutes. Here comes the housekeeping manager towards us holding a plastic bag. Inside the plastic bag were the 2 insulated Starbucks cups missing from my room. She asks me to sign the tags indicating I received my cups back from... LOST and FOUND! How the cups were thought to be lost in my room is nuts! We all know it was stolen, and the thief got caught!
With all these problems I would prefer to give it 1 star but since I did get my cups back I will give the place 2 stars. -

I recently visited this place for the first time and thought that it was a pretty fun place. It definitely looks older than the other Indian casinos that I've been to, but I thought that the first floor gaming floor looked more like a classic casino than some of the newer places. I didn't gamble much on the first floor though. I stayed on the third floor most of the time since it was not smoky. Everything is really spacious on the third floor with lots of walkway space and it was not crowded up there when I went. Overall, there were plenty of fun themed slot machines to choose from on both levels. The ladies at the rewards club booth were friendly and helpful as well. This casino was better than I had expected.

I've been to Tachi about a dozen times since I turned 18 about 5 years ago. I mainly go for concerts and fight events. I've never had much of a bad experience here. It is however very annoying because before you even get to the doors you smell a rush of cigarette smoke coming at you. And then when you go into the non-smoking room it smells like sweat. I think i'd rather smell the smoke. The crowd is mostly older, i'd say 50+, except whenever The Den nightclub is open. I haven't been there but I have been to a bar downstairs next to Coyote Grill, but i dont remember the name of it. They are ridiculously overpriced. I ordered an AMF and payed $10.50 for a small glass and it tasted horrible. A time after that i ordered Hypnotiq on the rocks and bartender looked at me like i was psycho and gave it to me in what looked like a shot glass and charged me $7.00. I guess theyre not used to real drinkers or something. Other than that this is a good place to get away when you live in a crap town like Tulare where theres absolutely nothing to do except to go one bar where you run into everyone you knew and hated in high school. But thats another review.

maybe it could have been that fact that i went on a Saturday night.. but it just didn't compare to the other casinos that I have been to in the area... dont get me wrong I had fun.. but the thing is... there was hardly parking, the tables were packed, the majority of the slot machine choices had max bets of 3 dollars with a 25% chance of a 1 dollar return on each spin, you're confined to drinking alcoholic drinks in a little room and its filled with a bunch of 18 year olds..... my interpretation of it was "this is what vegas would be like if it was 18 and over"... my family on the other hand who have visited it during the weekdays have had better experiences, so I may have to try it one more time before I fully knock it

From the moment you step out of your car the first thing that hits you is the fresh smell of cow s#!t. That should tell you right then and there to get back in your car and drive away. If you do decide to go in, be prepared to deal with the rudest, most obnoxious, and classless casino employees in the central valley. I am sure that not all of them are like this, but the ones that have showed me this screw it up for them all. I do not ask for much, sometimes I do not ask for anything at all. When I do, I get these confused looks and usually a smart answer. Its annoying. They seem to think that because they work there that they can get away with anything. Sad. Considering that we the degenerate gamblers pay their salaries, which I am sure is not as much as they want you to think. So you will get a lot of attitude. As for the food, worse casino buffet ever. Cold food, dirty tables, cramped dining area, and once again bad service. I would not eat there if it was free and believe me I get coupons to eat free there all the time. The coyote grill is not any better. Same bad food and same bad service. There is a Jack in the Box just down the street in Lemoore that is open 24 hrs. At least you know what you are getting there. Now for the gaming. Its the only reason to go. The downsides are that there seems to be a lot of loitering in the casino. I have been asked if i want to buy jewelery, cell phones and food stamps?! Wow. Sad but true. I have also been asked for some money because "I need gas money to get home" or the all time excuse "I'm hungry". This really annoys the hell out of me. I go gamble to relieve stress. I go to unwind. The last thing I want to hear is some BS story about how hungry you are. If you do not have money the last place you should be is at a casino. Then you also have the "tweakers" walking around the casino looking for any tickets that may have been left behind. This also annoys me. Sometimes I can't gamble in peace. You think security would be able to do something. I guess not. I am sure that they are busy sitting in there little booth playing solitaire. If you want to gamble and live in the central valley this place should be the 4th or 5th option. I hesitated to go last night. But my girlfriend calls the shots. So we went. But After last night we both agreed that never again will we go back.
