Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage — Group Room Block, Meeting Space & Banquet FAQ
How much meeting space and how many guest rooms does Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage have?
Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage in Rancho Mirage, CA features 340 guest rooms and suites alongside 40,000 sq. ft. of total indoor/outdoor meeting and convention space across 15 meeting rooms. Its largest ballroom spans 13,000 sq. ft., accommodating up to 1,368 attendees in theater seating or 963 for a plated banquet.
What is the true all-in nightly room rate at Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage during major conventions?
During peak 2026–2027 convention weeks in Rancho Mirage, standard last-room rack and OTA rates at Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage average $389/night plus a $30/night resort/destination fee and 14.5% local occupancy tax ($480/night all-in). By contracting a 10+ room block through the Conventions.com Housing Desk (Sara Chaval · (702) 576-1312), exhibitors lock a $239/night group rate with the $30/night resort fee waived ($274/night all-in — saving $206/room/night or 43%).
How do banquet F&B minimums and the '++' service charge work at Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage?
To waive ballroom rental fees at Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage, groups typically commit to a cumulative food and beverage (F&B) minimum starting around $28,000 for the main ballroom. All banquet food, beverage, and in-house AV orders are subject to a 24% banquet service charge plus 8% sales tax — creating an effective '+33.9%' ('++') multiplier. A $148/person plated dinner menu item therefore settles at ~$198/person all-in.
Can we bring our own independent AV production crew into Agua Caliente Resort Casino Spa Rancho Mirage?
Yes, provided you negotiate out 'Outside AV Liaison & Patch Fees' prior to signing the hotel group sales agreement. While ceiling rigging points in the main ballroom remain under the exclusive jurisdiction of the in-house rigging provider, groups using ground-supported truss towers and our MasterMSA Production Addendum save 45%–62% compared to in-house AV rate cards.
