Dining

Phantom Horse Grill - Dining is indoors, or outdoors on a patio lit by torches, overlooking the golf course. Southwestern spices such as cumin and chili enliven chicken, pork, steaks, and salads. Coconut chili-crusted halibut and half-roasted chicken are popular dishes. Wood-beam ceilings, paintings of horses, and decorative chili wall hangings give the interior regional flair. Open Monday through Saturday for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; Sunday for brunch and dinner only.

Latitude 30° - This restaurant reflects the eclectic influences of the Pacific Coast with indigenous seafood, farm-raised meats and garden-fresh produce prepared using Asian cooking techniques. Dishes are infused with herbs and spices influenced by Californian and Asian cultures found along the latitude 30° route. Interior walls, featuring large mahogany-wood accents, have been softened with contemporary fabric panels, which are decorated with bold colors and patterns. Live music Friday and Saturday evenings.


  Aunt Chilada's - A Valley favorite, this Mexican-style cantina serves lunch and dinner every day. Homemade tamales, smoked pork tomatillo, and chicken, shrimp, or beef fajitas highlight a menu of Mexican classics and innovative original dishes. The interior is decorated in colorful Mexican style, with dark-wood furniture and wood-beam ceilings.

Oasis Bar & Grill - Open every day during daylight hours, this poolside dining option at the water park offers a full bar and food such as chicken sandwiches, Italian grinders, hamburgers, chef salads, and nachos.

The Sports Bar - Next door to the Phantom Horse Grille, with three TVs and video games to deliver sports excitement. Popular beers and wines, mixed drinks, and bar food, including chicken wings and onion rings, are served every day.

Rustler's Rooste - Guests can swoop down a tin slide into the cowhand-styled interior. Western steakhouse cuisine is served every day. Mesquite-broiled steaks, pork chops, chicken, and chili highlight the menu.

La Cabana - Poolside dining and drinking. Hot dogs, hamburgers, chips, and nachos are served every day during daylight hours.
