This may be too late for you, but if you're into the big band deal or the old school Palm Springs lounge scene it's pretty slim now days. You might want to check out Bing Crosby's. I've searched and searched for that old town vibe in Palm Spings and I've yet to find any nightlife at all. I've been to Bing's and although they claim it's a "Rat Pack" type atmosphere with swing band music, the only thing I've ever heard there are trio acts that are so so at best. You also might want to check out the lounge at the Ramada. Believe it or not, I stayed there for Tiki Oasis years ago and there was a piano guy playing who has been active in the Palm Springs area since the late 50s. He was awesome. He had the whole late 50s early 60s lounge thing down to a tee. The crowd was mostly retired golfers (big surprise for the area), but he was great. He even spent a good deal of the time heckling the crowd. I haven't been there since and I have no idea if that guy is still there, but it's still worth a try.
