Casino del Sol Hotel & Conference Center

This 160,000 square foot, $130 million expansion added a 215 room hotel with three restaurants, four bars, pool deck, 800-seat event center and warehouse.

The restaurants include the new 250-seat Festa Buffet featuring Italian, Asian and Southwest favorites as well as salads and desserts. The central production kitchen supports the buffet as well as the event center and includes a bakery and a butcher shop. The 100-seat PY Steakhouse features steak and seafood with fine wines displayed throughout the bar and private dining room. The bar serves the steakhouse but is also convenient to the gaming floor. This kitchen also provides room service to the hotel and pool.

An Del Sol is a partnership with Mr. An, a local restaurateur and offers sushi as well as other Asian favorites and includes its own bar with signature cocktails. The Prema Lobby Bar offers a quiet respite for hotel guests, and the Oasis Bar serves the beautiful pool deck and cabanas. Finally, the VIP lounge includes its own bar as well as a granite buffet that can be made hot and cold with the flip of a switch.
