The Graton Casino is the best one in sonoma county. The hotel is very nice, good room service and staff; it was disappointing the pool was out of service for renovations but the spa and salon were nice and they offer a lot of services.
There's plenty going on in California casinos for the New Year celebration. Each casino plans its parties and events for its clientele and local audience to enjoy. Some host lavish parties with bands, while others focus on the games, offering jackpots and big prizes. We've not included many of those, as we focus mainly on the parties hosted at the casinos. Enjoy!
