Yes, there is a Cahuilla Hotel. Visited the casino this afternoon - as feared, there were only three tables open and only three players at a time could sit at a table. Found one with only one player but both the dealer and one of four pit bosses (four bosses for four tables?) told me the other seats were "reserved" and I could not even stand there. I tried to explain (through my mask) that all I wanted were some chips. Finally the Pit Boss understood, and said I could buy five. I got five of the $5 chips and five of the ones. Didn't see the $2.50 chips at any table but when I went around to the blackjack game some minutes later, that table was full and the dealer shook his head, indicating that I could not even stand there.
(Offhand photo shot at my computer tonight.)
The Pit Boss did tell me that the $5 chips are their "Grand Opening" ones for the new resort. Gasoline was $2.629 for regular, at the Sky Mountain Store on the casino property, a decent price since the Circle K in "downtown" Anza was asking $2.919.
