Pechanga Resort Casino was awarded the Best Southern California Casino by newspaper and web readers of the Orange County Register and Press-Enterprise. A total of 25 southern California tribal casinos were eligible for the distinction in the annual Best of Orange County poll conducted during the summer of 2022.

Andrew Masiel, Sr., President of the Pechanga Development Corporation, said: "The fact that readers voted us number one in these polls once again speaks volumes about how our guests feel about the level of service and comfort they receive here. Our team works incredibly hard to ensure each guest’s experience measures up to a very high standard in every interaction we have with them. Thank you to everyone who took the time to vote for us."
