Any recommendations on where to stay (must be pet friendly), restaurants and most important shopping? thanks in advance.
Cabazon outlet mall is a must. It is only 20 minutes from Palm Springs

While you're at Cabazon you can go down the street to Morongo, an Indian gaming casino. It's not huge but it does the trick for my boyfriend when he doesn't want to wait around for me while I shop!
OMG brilliant! My bf hates shopping. I am going to totally send him off to the casino. I can't wait. I just checked the temp and its 116, wow that is hot.
