The Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Calif., continues demonstrating that they provide some of the best musical entertainment on tour today. This was proven again on Friday, June 26, when they featured a double-dose of hard-hitting progressive rock ‘n’ roll with the English bands Asia and Yes.
Oh, this story will be a piece of cake! It will be insightful and cute, and it will really get the readers’ attention. That was what I was hoping for when I signed up to attend the performance of the Allman Brothers along with the Doobie Brothers at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Saturday, May 23. My name is Melissa; Gregg Allman wrote a song in 1964 called “Sweet Melissa.” I had to be the one to write the story, right?
Saturday night, May 22, the Rock Yard at Fantasy Springs Resort Casino in Indio, Calif., was taken hostage and painted purple with funk when the one (but not only), “Prince” graced the audience with a performance by the tribute band, Purple Reign. Billed as the “Rock Yard On Steroids,” the event drew such a mass of people to the outdoor party bar that they overflowed the grass area and into the surrounding restaurants and cafés, but with free admission to the show, this was no real surprise.
Fantasy Springs Resort Casino’s amazing outdoor venue, The Rock Yard in Indio, Calif., bought out a true rocking of the desert under the stars at 8 p.m., Sat., May 16, featuring Aeromyth, the Aerosmith tribute band. Local DJ Mr. Brad Mercer The Eagle 106.9 was the master of ceremonies for the night.

On Saturday evening, May 9, visitors to the Fantasy Springs Resort Casino’s Rock Yard in Indio, Calif., had the rare opportunity to see The Worlds Greatest Rock ‘n’ Roll Band, the Rolling Stones, live on stage! Well, they had to look closely to realize that this wasn’t the actual band, but was really Jumpin’ Jack Flash, a phenomenal tribute band to the Rolling Stones.
