Great review! A very close friend retired there in 2013 and since then I have visited Palm Springs 14 times. I still have not done all the things you listed. I am retiring in December and moving there next spring, can't wait!
Such an easy-listening video. Quick, snappy, informative and perfect visuals.
I live here now and I can't wait to do some sight seeing myself. I should mention that it was Spanish missionaries that brought Palm trees to the New World in the 18th and early 19th century too California. These trees came from Canary Islands, North Africa, the Middle East, India and Mexico. I look out my window and Date palm trees surround my pool. We live in a gated community, it's very safe, our neighbors are primarily Gay, with a sprinkling of other ethnic groups. Some Asians (like Chinese, Korean, Japanese), and me, who is a Puerto Rican. Yes, we have discovered some great restaurants, but they are off the beat and track, not on the main road. Thank you for your tour. It was appreciated.🌴
This was GREAT!!love the desert
Interesting video with good info. I live in L.A. and have been going to Palm Springs since I was a kid. Love the area and relaxed vibe, and being less than two hours away by car is an added bonus. I can go down there for the day, or a few days. Here's another interesting tidbit -- the Margaritaville Resort Palm Springs, which opened in 2020, is the former Riviera Hotel. The Riviera opened in 1959 and attracted entertainment A-listers of the era, such as Bob Hope, Desi Arnaz, and even Elvis! But the best part is that they kept the original structures and layout of the legendary Riviera Hotel, just changing the décor and color scheme to fit the beachy Jimmy Buffett-inspired theme. As you make your way down the steps from the lobby to the pool area, the eye catching handles on the two doors leading out to the pool bear the numbers 5 and 9, representing 1959, the year the Riviera opened. Also, you're right about Sherman's Delicatessen. I was in Palm Springs last week and went there for lunch. Their corned beef sandwich and homemade dill pickles are the best. Happy travels!
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Can’t wait 😜
nice & very useful information about palm springs darling🌹🙋💜👍
lovely video thanks for posting about this great locations
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very informative thanks
Liked your voice & calming presentation. Felt like i am visiting & you are our tour guide. Excellento.
Thank you so much!
Very nice I'm a floridian love it ! Palm Springs looks wonderful
I love this girls voice! it's so soothing,
We travel from Sacramento to PS annually during Veterans Day weekend - crowds are small and the weather is gorgeous. Tons of amazing restaurants and boutique hotels - we stayed at La Maison last week. Wifey and I wish we were back there now instead of being stuck behind computers messing around with spreadsheets 🤦🏻♂️
Thank you for including the info about the history of the Indian tribe from that area. Most people don’t want to mention the Indian people from there & I think that is really sad.
Most people don't even KNOW of them. I lived out there for 6 yrs, and I have almost no familiarity with them, except that they lived/still live out there, and some of the tribal names, and that they own much of the land there and all the area's casinos. That's about it
I really loved your review of palm springs! Thank you for this
I'm so glad! It’s a unique place
I love the misters 👕 SHIRT in the thumbnail, COLORS & STYLE 🔺️🔹️◽
Since my parents bought a house at west palm springs area i go every other week from LA to relax , i feel so different , specially when i bring my drone and mountain bike. The weather is hot in summer and cold on winter and you can see snows in the mountains of San Jacinto and San Gorgonio Peak. They have alots of restaurants , stores in downtown area and beautiful windmills... Palm Springs is a nice and tranquil place.
Ok sis really sold me on the whole video I’m looking forward to going to pal springs now. Thank you ☺️🙏
I’m four minutes in, and I’m fully involved. 😂
I love P.S., visited several times from 1977 (from Germany) to 2003. I have to go back soon. Thank you for the update.
It's beautiful and educational, your eyes are seeing something new in your life that makes you happy
🌹🏁⚓💞🇬🇧
Muxiyadiin Gumse ⭐ Wow, you have made a very good explanation for the tourists, thank you
Thanks for the great info, your voice was very soothing for some reason lol
Im going to Palm Springs in a couple of weeks! Im excited to get a taste of Desert Living! Definitely going to do the tram and Joshua Tree! Downtown Palm Springs definitely seems like a fun day of walking and eating! Im hoping to get some star gazing in as well!!!
Thanks!
Awesome video. Really makes me want to return to Palm Springs!
Yay! What time of year are you thinking of going?
I can't believe I have lived in Palm Springs for 21 years!
Very helpful review. We plan to visit soon. Is there an RV Park you would recommend?
Thank you! I hear Emerald Desert RV park is a good one
I got a little secret for you---- stand in front of the palm springs museum go to the right of the building,all the way back,mountain,start climbing,their is a zig zag path to the top,there is old foundation,fireplace,has footprints from twin babies ( Ruth & ??) , there's a cold box,and what a view! I used to take my dates up there !
I like to go to Sherman's for their delicious desserts.
thank you.
You're welcome
The two BEST Mexican food restaurants in PS:
"Cantina's"! Its a bit on the pricier side, but well WORTH it!
For more budget-friendly dining, AMAZING Mexican food try: "El Taco Asado" (nearby the old PS Mall/Gottschalk's). Its a small quaint "Mom & Pop" Mexican restaurant. Make it a POINT, to go have dinner there during your stay in PS!!
Thanks for the tips! 🙌
@@RunTheAtlas No prob!
If I can think of anything else, I'll add it!
Pretty .. Pretty .. good.
Going to Palm Springs June 16th fora week but there doesn’t seem to appear anything going on as far as festivals etc. are any of the drag shows good? Looking for entertainment..
Hunter's has a drag show every Sunday night.
my wife and i come for the horse show at desert international horse park in thermal
Does anyone have info on noise ordinances in Palm Springs? Trying to rent on Airbnb but there’s so many restrictions on noise. No noise outdoors during the day (even pool side) or at night etc. No speakers outside pool side etc. How strict is that?
They just want to make sure you don’t have any rager parties, I’m sure you’ll be fine
Thanks for the very interesting video. Could you clarify about the fish at the restaurant: seems you also ate the fish skin and bones? 🤣
Apparently I was very hungry 😂
@@RunTheAtlas 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have a vacation home in Palm Springs i don’t like the weather there for a all year so i visit many times a year.
Let me rent it for coachella
@@kmart014 I don’t rent it out it
One MAJOR tip for those of us who enjoy going to PS and desert for reptile "hunting" (more like "searching for", NOT actual "hunting" btw)
many of us herpetoculturists eventually make our way out to "Whitewater Canyon" to search for reptiles; make certain you have your California Fishing License on you (yes, you read that correctly "Fishing License" )
California Fish and Game and BLM (Bureau of Land Management) actively conduct "sting" operations out there. They place "decoy" snakes on the roadway (rubber toy snakes, taxidermied snakes, and sometimes even live snakes too), the warden hides behind something on the side of the road, and if you stop get out your car and actually approach the "decoy", the warden will all of a sudden appear out of seemingly nowhere and and asks you what you were planning to do with the "snake" (decoy) and depending on the answer you give they will ask you for your CA Fishing License, your ID, run your name and plates, they will likely do a light spot-check of your vehicle for reptile equipment, check for any possible live native reptiles in your vehicle you captured and whether any found was legally captured, and not over the legal daily" bag" limits, and that you arent in possession of any endangered/protected species (prohibited by law from capturing/removing from the wild)
Fines are STEEP for "collecting" wild reptiles native reptiles WITHOUT a current fishing license. There is a guide that outlines all the CA Fishing regulations, it outlines all the native reptile/amphibian "collecting" regulations, daily bag limits, and legally off-limits species i.e. Desert Tortoises, Gila Monsters, etc
Whitewater Canyon is a "hotspot" for reptile enthusiasts, due to a very specific Rosy Boa subspecies native to the Whitewater area, which are immensely popular in the pet "trade".
So cover all your bases and make sure you have the appropriate licensing, and familiarity with the state's wildlife "collecting" laws. Fish and Game/BLM dont mess around - no license results in costly fines, and over-collecting or illegal possession of something such as a Desert Tortoise/s, Gila Monster, or say a San Diego Mountain Kingsnake CAN land you in state prison! Happy "Hunting"!
The video was perfect.I live 60 miles away, but I've only once been here,but I just recently moved to the US.🤔time to visit again......new sub here
Haven't been to Palm Springs in over 20 years. since I moved out of state.
Is the city ordnance. Where all residential homes are 1 story only?
The San Jacinto mountains were the skyline. Even hotels were below 3 stories?
Average rainfall? 3 inches
Monson season: summer
Palms were only allowed to line streets.
Mid-century modern homes could not be torn down. City restrictions
Only city of Palm Springs not allow drive through at restaurants
There used to have siesta time in summers. Where restaurants and other businesses may close between 12 noon till 4 pm
What's the drop off population count for summer?
Is there also an ordnance about motor hotels? I can't find any info about this anywhere
@mirandavideo In the 90's. Palm Springs had ordinances. Where you couldn't build above a certain level.
On the same note: business outdoor signage also had restrictions.
It's 110 degrees at midnight.
It's Phoenix on steroids!
It's 160 miles south of Death Valley! What did you expect?
I can attest to this! Yep, midnight - even 3am. Definitely no real improvement after dark, except for just not having the burning sunlight!
@@TheTallMan50Here's the funny thing: You're talking two different geographical deserts - Death Valley is in the High Desert - with exception of DV, the rest of the High Desert/Mojave is basically cooler not as hot and a "dry" heat. PS is in the "Low Desert" where the temps are consistently just like DV, but has turned more HUMID over the years due to the effects of climate change and that the California Low Desert is the northerly region of the blisteringly hotter/humid Sonoran Desert.
hello! would be a wise idea to stop for one night in Palm Spring on mid-August 2022 after driving through Joshua Tree national park? will it be extremely hot? we'll be there on Thursday, for the villagefest.
The alternative would be to head directly to Newport (Beach) after visiting the park.
Thanks!
It's def worth it to visit Palm Springs! I always stop there at least for a bite to eat while on the way to Joshua Tree. As mentioned, if it's super hot (which it likely will be in August) you can do the Aerial Tram, museums, Palm Canyon trails, or go out at night when it's cooler. It's a very unique place!
We plan to go there this Saturday for one night also. Highest temp forecast is around 103F
@@RunTheAtlas do you go to the downtown PS to eat?
How is the Hilton Palm Springs Hotel?
Really nice- right on the strip. The Hyatt is nice too
You can go use the refrigerated pools at Marriott Desert Springs for free.
When is it good time to go when there’s nothing going on ??. I what to enjoy the town with not to many things going on.
Do they have all inclusive resorts in Palm Springs?
Depends on how you are defining that as - there are MANY LGTBQ+ and "Swinger" , and Nudist resorts in PS. There are also just regular general "mainstream" resorts. You could theoretically stay at ANY of them you wish, but you may possibly feel "out of place" staying at one versus another. There is no real visible way of identifying one type of resort over another, so you might Google search the area's resorts and you should be able to get an indication who the resort tends to cater to. If in doubt, call and ask first before making any reservations.
China wok in palm desert is the best Chinese food I’ve ever had
Great video. The Dinah is indeed LGBTQ but with a definite emphasis on the L.
Truth 👍
Yes! Finally something for gay and bi women. It’s far too male dominated otherwise!😊
I hear California has a huge homelessness problem, especially in Los Angeles. Is it a problem in Palm Springs as well?
It's not a big issue in Palm Springs, the city is very safe to walk around in our experience.
@@SweetLike Drama queen!!!! Lmfao Homelessness is not a huge issue. There are homeless people but it pales in comparison to the rest of California. I've lived in the SF Bay area, Sacramento, and now Palm Springs. PS is safe and amazing and feel blessed to live here.
@@SweetLike fox news 😂
Palm Springs has some homeless people. But in the great liberal tradition of the city, it is building a big new homeless shelter to add to its extensive options for the less fortunate. There is already a shelter across from the airport. It's fine to whine and complain, but the awesome folks of Palm Springs are more solution oriented for all of its residents.
We come out here every year, there was alot of homeless the past few year (and we had a car break in fir some petty cash)
This year however, although they are still around here and there, it's alot better than it used to be.
It seems, like other mentioned, that some thing is being done on the back-end about it.
Palm Springs is just a little too "out there" for me
What no one tells you about Palm Springs,,,,,say what. Great but, what a minute. You forgot the //// dirt......hehe......sand, its called here. "newly wed nearly dead" is one etc etc etc. ANNNND your video was great. So take emotion out of my comment and relax, this place aint blah blah blah
High strangeness... 😐
We were there last year and didn’t see the 2 percent of it but I’m going to make sure I do when I return it’s beautiful
Dude talk about something you do know. Palm Springs 🌴 first got started when Patton started his Tank Corp out in the middle of nowhere. Give credit to the right person and was an Italian prisoner war camp..yes there are a few homeless people but only a few..
Go to LULU’s
Don’t go there during the summer! I went this summer and it was 111 degrees! Horrible place to visit in the summer! You can’t do anything during the day there! It’s very ugly!
Would towards the end of August be ok?
@@rachelj5593 December to March is nice
@@rachelj5593 nights are slightly cooler. Slightly.
@@rachelj5593 towards the middle/end of september is when it cools down to about 80-85°F in the day.
@@juliebutler8241 Cools down in October,
just like Phoenix
Background music and sound effects are really annoying
Imagine mispronouncing Saguaro as Sigwearo on an informational tourism video
Tomato tomAto!
Psalm springs is a sinners paradise.......
If you would please just talk instead of half whisper I would definitely listen to you.
You forgot to mention under California's great leadership the homeless and drug addicts laying all over the streets not to mention the open boarder
Unfortunately that’s not a secret. This video is about the things no one tells you…
LOLOL! Spelling!
Homeless and drug addicts are anywhere…. I live in a 9million dollar home i walk 25min and i see a sidewalk full of homeless. Don’t like it move out.
No, there was nothing for them to mention; it sounds to me like you are imagining what you see on the news (mostly San Francisco and L.A.) that ALL of CA must therefore be that way, and that just isn't the case. PS is nothing close to being like what you are seeing on tv. It's got a few homeless people, it has its share of drugs too like everywhere else, but PS is not this dystopian hellscape like SF or LA.
PS is over 2+ hours (driving) from the border. It's NOT overrun with border jumpers. PS is not "Little Tijuana" or like Ciudad Juarez/El Paso, TX
I lived in PS and Palm Desert for 6 years, so I'm telling you all this from firsthand experience.
@@Mr.Bryan1234Ahhh, poor baby - you live in a $9m home and the homeless people a few miles away from where you live upset you?
Maybe try having a little more compassion and sympathy, because I'll tell you what - despite your wealth and your luxury home/lifestyle -mark my words: Nobody, and I mean NOBODY is "immune" to losing it all and becoming homeless.
Try this out sometime soon, while it's summertime: Commit to spending an ENTIRE day. Just one day is all. One whole day away from home, outdoors, just go wander around Palm Springs, up and down Palm Canyon Rd, through Tahquitz, up and down Indian Canyon, Sunrise Way, some of the misc. side streets, maybe go take a break for an hour at the casino in PS and cool off, then keep wandering around, intermittently finding some shady spots to sit, go wander up and down Ramon Rd a ways. Do this from maybe 8 am until 8am the next morning, then go home.
You probably wouldn't make it that long. Im not entirely sure even I could. But you WILL BE so f*cking over-heated, over-exhausted, sunburned, dehydrated, probably sore too from all the walking.
Well, THIS is precisely what those poor souls who are homeless out there are forced to have to endure 24/7. Many of them DIE from extreme heat exposure. But please go try it out for just a day, get an idea of what it's like - you'll probably change your tune real quick!
