Pala Casino and Resort Visitor FAQ

This page answers a handful of practical questions people commonly search before a visit to Pala Casino Spa Resort—especially around dining, smoking rules, and what the casino floor feels like. Details can change over time, so if you are planning a special trip (for example, for a specific show or dinner), it helps to confirm the current schedule on the resort’s official channels before you arrive.

1) Is the Pala buffet coming back?

“Buffet” information is one of the most searched topics for Pala, but buffet availability is not always steady year-round. Some resorts pause buffet service, reopen with limited days, or replace it with seasonal dining events.

If your visit depends on buffet dining, treat it as a “check-before-you-go” item: look for the most recent dining update, verify operating days and hours, and confirm whether reservations or tickets are required. If no current buffet schedule is listed, plan on using the resort’s restaurants, cafés, or quick-service options instead.

Does Pala Casino have a lobster buffet?

Searches for “lobster buffet” usually come from people looking for a specific themed night rather than an everyday buffet line. When resorts do lobster or seafood buffet concepts, they are often limited-time promotions, holiday specials, or ticketed dining events.

The most reliable approach is to look for a current dining calendar or event listing and confirm:

• whether it is a recurring night or a one-off special,
• pricing and any add-on fees,
• how seating works (first-come vs. reservation),
• the exact menu scope (seafood-forward vs. a broader buffet with a seafood station).

If no lobster-focused offering is listed, assume it is not currently running and plan for other restaurant options.

4) How many slot machines does Pala Casino have?

People often ask for a precise number, but machine counts can shift as floors are reconfigured, new cabinets are installed, or older games are retired. Even when a number is published, it may not reflect recent changes.

For trip planning, the more useful question is what the floor feels like: Pala is known for having a large slots presence with a wide mix of denominations and styles. If you are looking for a specific title or cabinet type, the best way to avoid disappointment is to confirm availability through the resort’s official slot directory (if provided) or by asking the property directly.

5) What is the age limit to enter Pala Casino?

Age rules are a frequent pre-visit question. In general, casinos enforce an entry and play age requirement, and the rule can apply differently to the casino floor versus hotel, restaurants, or entertainment venues.

If you are traveling with a group that includes younger guests, check:

• minimum age to enter the gaming floor,
• whether ID is required at entry or only when gambling,
• age restrictions for concerts or late-night venues,
• where non-gaming areas are located so your group can move comfortably without confusion.

When in doubt, bring government-issued ID and confirm rules for your specific event night.

Tip for planning around concerts or upcoming events: show schedules and venue rules can change. If your trip is built around a specific concert, check start times, parking guidance, and any bag or entry restrictions close to the date.
