I know its hot as crap in the summer but have to go down for work. I know there is a water park there and golf. What other nice things are there to do in Palm Springs, Cali during the summer that doesnt involve a heat stroke? Can anyone recommend any nice romantic resturants? Staying at the Vacation Internatioanle Oasis Resort anyone stayed there before?
Thanks

When it's that hot, I don't even like to go out. It's just TOO hot to do much except enjoy the pool. However, the free bike rentals in the evenings are very nice if it ever cools down.
Here are some nice restaurants:
Devane's :Housed in a Spanish-style building which doubles as an Italian villa, this restaurant offers reasonably priced Italian specialties with pasta in a dozen different forms and plenty of pizzas. It is owned by actor William Devane and his wife, and the couple is actively involved in every aspect of the restaurant. Enjoy Lasagne, Gnocchi, Chicken Saltimbacco and other rich entrees. End with a slice of Chocolate Thunder Cake or Tiramisu.
Las Casuelas Terraza:Always busy, this well-run restaurant and bar, complete with dance floor, provides great Mexican food, friendly service and a never-failing spirit of fun. Sit inside for a little insulation from the hustle and bustle or grab a sidewalk-side table near the Palapas Bar, where the heated dance floor keeps people bouncing even when the temperature is unseasonably cold. Choose a tequila from the vast selection of premium brands while listening to the strolling mariachis, who start playing in the morning. The Carnitas are excellent
Doug Arango's Restaurant: This acclaimed restaurant is discovered by word of mouth and from lavish praise in magazines like Condé Nast Traveler, Wine Spectator and Bon Appetit. Housed in a gracious, Italian villa-style building, it has a casual atmosphere. Ready-made take-out food comes from the deli case, but the dining areas are elegant. Wine Spectator Magazine continues to bestow its award of excellence on the extensive wine list, which features California wines but also provides many rare and imported vintages. A signature entree is Spaghettini Alla Checca, a vibrantly fresh tomato concasse over fresh pasta.
Lord Fletcher's: As the name implies, this is somewhat of a British Pub. The two signature dishes are the Prime Rib and the rack of lamb, but there is a full menu of choices. Located at Palm Canyon and Country Club.

The Internationale Oasis resort is a great place to stay! There will be a lot to do there- as long as you enjoy water! The pool is fabulous and there is a mini-waterpark, too. The food is good- many choices ranging from $ to $$$...
Palm Springs is also home to some nice museums: an art museum, air museum, and the living desert museum- although summer is not the best time for that.
Go on an architecture tour- some of the homes are so unique...
Downtown, there are also many shops and restaurants- with misters lining the streets to help stay cool...
I think you'll enjoy it!

Take the tram up to the top and cool off about 30 degrees. Or get the hell out and get to the beach.
