Arrive at your desert oasis Emerald Desert RV Resort. Then after a quick freshen up, relax, and enjoy the surroundings.  Join Celebrity Tours of Palm Springs for a half-day tour of the main streets and architecture sites of the Desert. This professionally guided and narrated tour picks up at the Resort or Downtown Palm Springs. With the comforts of first-class transportation, you will see the homes of Frank Sinatra, Liberace, Elvis Presley, Dean Martin, and Bob Hope, to name only a few. Learn more about how the Desert became the playground of the rich and famous and hear some of the deliciously scandalous details of some of the most notorious affairs that took place in this fabulous desert hideaway. (Allow 2.5 hours)

After your Celebrity Tour stroll down beautiful Palm Canyon Drive and see if you can find your favorite celebrity’s star on the Palm Springs Walk of Fame. For lunch choose from many of the restaurants, the Desert is notoriously known for.

If your visit happens to be on a Thursday (except Thanksgiving Day), Palm Canyon Drive is transformed into VillageFest a lively street fair between 6 p.m. and 10 p.m. Local artisans set up booths to sell their creations, and guests can enjoy live entertainment, dinner and a farmer’s market featuring locally grown produce. Plus don’t forget to try our number one crop, delicious dates.

Don’t forget to check out the activities schedules to stay up to date with Resort happenings.

This next morning choose to relax by the pool or perhaps schedule a Swedish Massage to treat sore muscles or simply melt away the stress in the expert hands of Healing Hands Massage Therapy here at the resort. Or for those spa enthusiasts head off to the City of Desert Hot Springs which is especially famous for the hot, healing mineral waters that flow from the plentiful aquifers. Most of the Desert Hot Springs’ spa facilities are fed directly from this water source, which filter and cool the 140-degree waters to a more comfortable 90 degrees.

Following your relaxing morning enjoy lunch al fresco and take some time to stroll through the marvelous Palm Springs Art Museum, the Desert’s premier institution for art celebrating the great Southwest. The museum has an ever-changing array of exhibits and educational programs. (Allow 2 hours)

Don’t forget about the fabulous theaters, ask the Front Desk Staff to check the schedule for the McCallum Theatre for the Performing Arts in Palm Desert or Indio Performing Arts Center. These venues feature Broadway and Off Broadway-caliber performances and top acts from around the United States year around.

Enjoy breakfast at your site and the morning just soaking up some of the warm desert sun by the pool.

For lunch head to Palm Springs and enjoy rustic home-style Italian cooking at Kalura Trattortia Italiana, with new friends.

For dinner enjoy one of the Resorts event nights with a delicious catered dinner and entertainment or head out to any one of the tantalizing restaurants throughout our eight desert cities to enjoy one of many other fabulous dining experiences.
