Pechanga = free non-alcoholic drinks to seated players. Alcoholic drinks $4-$8 (some lame California law about no free alcohol). Pala, Pauma, Harrahs Rincon, Valley View all free non-alcoholic drinks..a few of them have self service soda/juice machines, if you don't want to wait for a cocktail server.

Played a bunch of poker tournaments this past weekend..every place seemed packed to me..maybe not as crowded as 2-3 years ago, but still bursting with people..
