8 reviews for Tachi Palace Hotel & Casino
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.

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.
Fun place with a nice field of sheep grazing across the road. Very spacious interior with slot machines and table games scattered around two separate gaming levels. Player's club booth was a little slow, but not bad. The place was a little quiet for a casino.
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 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.

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.

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.
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.
