SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GAMING GUIDE
Features
BFrom the Publisher...
u et feasts, 24/7 cafes, noodle bars, food courts, co ee shops and  ne dining restaurants, Southern California casinos have it all!  is month we
feature our annual dining issue with its Bu et Guide, a resource of practical information about Southern California casino bu ets. Look for more dining news each month in the Best of Casino Dining, where we’ll report on casino dining trends, feature casino restaurants, and even o er a few “Chef ’s Secrets.”
 is month in Tribes in the News on page 8, we share news about the continuing generosity of Southern California gaming Tribes: this time in response to the tsunami disaster. As we were going to press for our January issue, the earthquake and resulting tsunamis hit much of the part of the world that I used to call home. So it’s with personal concern that I let readers know how the gaming community has responded, and how you can respond with your donations as well.
 e devastating e ects of the tsunami will be felt for many years.
February 9th marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year, celebrated by Chinese cultures around the globe. 2005 is the Year of the Rooster. To join in the lively Lunar New Year celebrations at Southern California casinos,
see page 8. Tradition holds that celebrating loudly and with great joy will bring you a lucky new year!
Since tax time approaches, don’t miss the information on page 19 about taxes and gambling.
And, wager wisely, and always have fun at the casinos!
