Tribal Businesses
Spotlight 29 Casino
Spotlight 29 Casino is the crown jewel of the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians’ business ventures. With multiple show venues and a large selection of slots, table games, and dining options, Spotlight 29 Casino has something for everyone.
The latest additions in food and beverage are Taproom 29, Tequila’s, and Kupi Shop. Each of the new additions to the casino have been great successes. Taproom 29 features an extensive menu of craft beer, pub food, and artisanal brick-oven pizzas. Tequila’s is our high-end tequila bar that also features Mexican-inspired dishes. Kupi Shop features beverages made with only the best roasted coffee beans.
Our latest venture is a high-end hotel that will make Spotlight 29 Casino a one-stop resort that can fulfill all our guests’ needs.
We are continually partnering with businesses and events in the community. Some of our latest partnerships are with the BNP Paribas Open Tennis Tournament, the Coachella Valley Firebirds, the Coachella Valley Lakers, Acrisure Arena, Desert International Horse Park, and The AMEX Golf Tournament.
Tortoise Rock Casino
Tortoise Rock Casino is nestled up to the entrance of the beautiful Joshua Tree National Park. The Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians and Joshua Tree National Park have a co-stewardship agreement that includes trail development, emergency response, educational activities, and preserving the landscape. The tribe and park are working together to protect the landscape and share the tribe’s history. The Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians is the only tribe that has a co-stewardship with a national park.
There is a lot to do at Tortoise Rock Casino including dining at the Oasis Grille or getting a cocktail at Shelly’s Lounge, catching a show at our Live At The Rock concert series, playing our newest slots and table games, and even charging your electric vehicle at our charging stations.
Tortoise Rock Casino is very much a part of the local community, including promotions for military members and partnerships with The Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center at Twentynine Palms. We also partner with the Coachella Firebirds and Acrisure Arena.
Shelee’s Travel Center
In a competitive location where Interstate 10 and Highway 86 meet, Shelee’s Travel Center is proving to be a great success. We opened in the summer of 2024 with Southern California’s largest underground storage tank set to meet the needs of all truckers and travelers passing through this important hub of the Coachella Valley.
We are continually growing Shelee’s Travel Center and adding new services and amenities. Our current services and amenities include 59 fueling positions, Kupi Coffee Shop, Grab-and-Go station, a huge selection of food, dog park, RV and toy fuel, ice house, propane, RV dumps, over-night parking, and truck scale. Our future services and amenities include truck repair and truck wash.
Shelee’s Travel Center has partnered with Acrisure Arena and installed multiple Shelee’s Grab & Go locations within the arena.
Red Falcon Tribal Dispensaries and Red Falcon Lounge & Bar
Red Falcon proudly stands as a beacon of community. Born from the esteemed legacy of the Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians, Red Falcon blends centuries-old traditions with modern offerings to redefine the local landscape. Rooted in the sacred stories of our ancestors, the Red Falcon symbolizes courage, strength, and wisdom.
Red Falcon Tribal Dispensaries feature our carefully cultivated strains that are grown at our state-of-the-art grow facility. We produce premium flower, concentrates, and edibles that are redefining the market.
At Red Falcon Lounge & Bar, where you can eat, drink, and smoke inside or on our lush patio, we have created an experience that cannot be found anywhere else. Events, live music, and massive indoor and outdoor screens make sure there is always something to enjoy at the Red Falcon Lounge & Bar.
29 Brews
Brewed with intention. Poured with pride. 29 Brews is a tribal-owned craft brewery rooted in the tradition of The Twenty-Nine Palms Band of Mission Indians and born in the heart of the Coachella Valley. Every pint tells a story—of the land, the people, and the bold flavors that define us.
29 Brews has been crowned California Brewery of the Year for the second year running by the New York International Beer Competition. It’s more than an honor—it’s a testament to the craft, the hustle, and the community behind every pour. This year, our flagship favorites brought home the gold again. Chairman’s Blonde dazzled judges for the second straight year, snagging gold in both 2025 and 2024 at NYIBC, plus another gold medal at the 2024 Denver International Beer Competition. And our Chairman’s Mexican Lager made its mark with golds at NYIBC 2025 and Denver 2024.
You’ll find our award-winning beers on tap at Taproom 29 inside Spotlight 29 Casino and at Tortoise Rock Casino. Or explore a one-of-a-kind experience at Red Falcon Lounge & Bar in Coachella – where you can pair one of our 29 Brews with our premium, tribal-grown cannabis sold right next-door at Red Falcon Tribal Dispensary. You can also find us at Acrisure Arena, Soboba Casino, Chumash Casino, and Cahuilla Casino.
