Food scene
This is a fun and hip bar / restaurant on the main drag of Palm Springs. You typically need a reservation a week or more in advance. Otherwise it is an hour wait, which is not a big deal as you can put your name in and browse the drag for an hour. Try the margarita flight!

Sightseeing
The tram is immediately south of the gated community. This tram takes you up onto the ridge of the San Jacinto Mountains. It's an incredible view and it's quite a bit cooler due to the elevation.
