Anyone from the area? I'll be out there for business at a trade show next Sunday - Wednesday. Looking to do some stuff on my free time so if anyone out there can recommend something, that would be awesome.

Bring your golf clubs. There really isn't a ton to do in Palm Springs. You can do the tram. There's also a couple of casinos...other than that not much.

It's a tourist trap in the middle of the desert. I told you yesterday at least you'll have quality pool time compared to back in Jersey

I second golfing. Heavy drink cart usage.

Haha yeah, I don't play golf though. With the way I am, I don't think they would like me too much LOL. I'm a bit sarcastic.

There are more golf courses there then you've seen in your life...it's crazy. There is also a lot of great food. Palm Springs definitely has money, cool place to visit, very different than New Jersey. Have fun!

The weather alone will make you sweat like you did when that stripper told you she was pregnant

How did your trip go? I would've suggested a good Chinese restaurant (****'s), a good steak place (The Falls) and remind you to take some cash because casinos is one of the only things to do in Palm Springs. If it was summer time, some of the casinos have day/night Las Vegas style pool parties that get loaded with very good talent!

Lastly... I hope youre not scared off by male on male because PS is loaded with them. I forget the name of a bar/night club (gay) that my ex wife and I visited.... great electronic music.

It was alright. Weather was awesome but a lot of old folk like everyone mentioned. We at Riccio's (spelling) and the Italian place next to it, they were pretty good and had Elmer's for breakfast. Had some sandwich place for lunch and it was one of the best I've had. Apparently they are well known for them, was next to an Irish Pub.

Hah, yeah I found that out from a coworker. I didn't go to the casino as that could end up being very costly.
