Through next week, the hotel offers an exclusive stay in their “Room for the Cure” — without a doubt the most colorful suite in town. The best part:
Close your eyes for a moment and forget that you’re in a casino located next to an outlet mall just off the raging freeway.

Girls getting together for Friday happy hour whilst talking business in tight power suits is dead sexy. Ask anyone. Which is why if you’re a gig l- or a woman if you want to put on your big girl britches- you ought to get thyself to 509 Wines in Fremont this Friday the 14th at 4 PM.
Sexy is practically synonymous with clandestine, and pHeast is everything an underground supper club strives to be. Based in Los Angeles, pHeast is the ultimate subterranean dinner experience.
