Honoring Elizabeth Taylor & Coachella

Simone — Wed, 23 Mar 2011 18:10:09 +0000

We would like to take some time to honor the late, great Elizabeth Taylor who passed away today, Wednesday March 22, 2011, at the age of 79. Elizabeth Taylor is best known for her movie roles, such as the original Cleopatra, her over the top glamour and beauty, and generosity through her humanitarian work. She resided in the Palm Springs area for many years and her 10,200 square-foot estate with 7 bedrooms and 9 and a half baths at 417 West Hermosa Place sits on over 1.5 acres. She was honored with a star on Palm Canyon Drive in 1994. She will never be forgotten.
Elizabeth Taylor had a great love for music. It seems very appropriate that in less than a month, the Palm Springs/La Quinta/Coachella Valley area will be hosting the annual Coachella Music Festival. The weekend long event starts on Friday April 15th and ends on Sunday April 17th. Headliners for Friday include the following performers: Kings of Leon, The Black Key, Lauryn Hill, The Chemical Brothers, Flogging Molly, and Ozomatli. Headliners for Saturday include the following performers: Mumford and Sons, The Kills, Erykah Badu, The Kills, and Arcade Fire. Some of the headliners for Sunday are the following: Kanye West, Duran Duran, Nas, Damian Marley, Wiz Khalifa, and Jimmy Eat World. With well over 100 performers throughout the entire weekend, there is a band or musical guest for everyone and every genre of music!
Be sure to do some research before just showing up to the venue! Coachella seems to be a lot stricter this year than in years past to avoid scams. For example, none of the paper tickets are valid, only weekend passes are being sold, passes have not been distributed yet, and everyone is required to wear a wristband to enter the premises. For additional information, visit the Coachella website.
Remember! The Lake La Quinta Inn is just a short drive away from the Coachella Valley and Elizabeth Taylor’s former Estate. Come stay with us for this spectacular weekend. Take advantage of the amazing music, as well as the history La Quinta has to offer. Call us for accommodations: 760-564-7332.

Johnny Gill, Ready For The World, and SWV set to perform on April 2nd!!

Simone — Fri, 18 Mar 2011 16:30:33 +0000

On April 2, 2011, the La Quinta area welcomes three of the greatest R&B artists/groups to the Spotlight 29 Casino! Ready For The World, Johnny Gill, and Sisters With Voices (SWV) will grace the stage with Johnny Gill being the main attraction. Johnny Gill has had a long withstanding R&B career that started as a solo artist in 1983 with hit romantic ballads such as “Super Love,” “My, My, My,” “Rub You the Right Way,” “Fairweathered Friend,” and “Wrap My Body Tight.” He then joined New Edition, replacing Bobby Brown, from 1988 to 1990. In 1990 he relaunched his solo career, becoming very successful with his self titled album which sold over a million copies, topped the R&B charts, and was Top Ten in the Pop charts. He has since reunited with New Edition, yet still maintains his solo career.

Ready For The World’s success dates back to their start in 1985 and some hits include “Oh Sheila,” “Tonight,” “Digital Display,” and “Deep Inside Your Love.” The other group performing, Sisters With Voices (SWV), has been making hits such as “I’m So Into You,” “Weak,” and “You’re the One” since 1991.

Be sure to set aside April 2^nd at 8pm to go see these 3 talents in person! Tickets start at only $35 and the best seats in the house are only $50! Be sure you make the Lake La Quinta Inn your first choice in accommodations to make the most out of your trip! We have great specials for those attending this concert, so be sure to mention that you are going when you call to make your reservations (760) 564-7332.

Phish Festival 8 Update

admin — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 20:12:46 +0000

Just a reminder that Halloween is just around the corner! That not only means that you’d better start planning your awe-inspiring costume but it also means that the Phish Festival 8 concert is quickly approaching!

As reported by us (and many others) before, Festival 8 will be a 3 day concert extravaganza with Phish performing 8 sets including a Halloween show where the band will do a musical version of dressing up in costume and perform another band’s album. (Past albums covered include the Beatles’ White Album and The Who’s Quadrophenia.)

Festival 8 will be held at the beautiful Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. This is a great venue with lush lawns and palm trees surrounded by mountains. It would be hard to find a more scenic landscape to spend 3 days.

Tickets are still available and will cost you around $200 for all 3 days of the event. The venue will provide both shade and mist tents, sinks, toilets, trash and recycling stations, on site medical and security services, ATM, a 24 hour general store, cell phone charging stations, and potable water. Sounds like they’ve thought of everything! Check out the Phish website for a full list of do’s and don’ts as well as a ton of other information about this awesome 3 day festival.

If you don’t want to spend 3 days cramped in your car or you’d like a place to stay to treat yourself after spending 3 days cramped in your car, consider the Lake La Quinta Inn. It’s a beautiful bed and breakfast that is perfect for a quiet getaway after the noise and crowds of an incredible music festival.
