\"\"<\/a>TEMECULA, <\/strong>Calif. \u2013 (June 1, 2020) \u2013 <\/strong>On Monday, June 1 at 12 p.m., Pechanga Resort Casino, located just outside of Temecula, Calif., reopened to the public. The West Coast\u2019s largest casino\/resort closed March 16 after a decision by Pechanga Tribal leaders was made to help stop the spread of COVID-19. Pechanga Resort Casino opened with limited operations as the facility opens in a phased, incremental approach. On June 1, guests lined up earlier than 8 a.m. while also maintaining at least six-feet of physical distance before entering the main doors after having their temperatures screened. Only half of Pechanga\u2019s slot machines (approximately 2,500) are available to guests with every other game switched on. Table games offer fewer gaming seats and guests will see plexiglass safety shields between them, other players and the dealer. Five of Pechanga\u2019s 13 restaurants, as well as three stations within the six dining options at its food court, are open with limited capacity to serve guests.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe health and safety of our guests, team members and community is and has always been our number one priority at Pechanga,\u201d said Jared Munoa, President of the Pechanga Development Corporation. \u201cThe casino and resort looks and operates differently than we did only a few months ago. All of the new procedures and restrictions all direct back to best practices for safety and well-being.\u201d<\/p>\n
