The reviews on the casino are valid. It's really bad with all the smoke I really didn't enjoy gambling here and went to my favorite casino up the road. The band was good. Always a fun time with live music. 3/5.

I've enjoyed the staff at Valleyview and appreciate the gifts/food that I've received, but after…read moreseveral visits, I've had a consistently disappointing experience with the machines. They feel much tighter than those at other casinos. Even when I do get a bonus, the payout is usually very low. I've also noticed that my bet amount will change on its own, causing me to spend more per spin than I intended. When I try to increase my bet manually, it won't let me unless I remove my ticket and reinsert it, which is frustrating. Another major concern for me is the smoke. It makes me feel sick, and on my last visit, a man next to me intentionally blew smoke in my direction. Dealing with that kind of rude behavior really takes away from the experience. The smoke is too thick for that size building. Unless some of these issues improve, especially the smoking environment, I will not return to play.

Casino Pauma is a smaller local casino. They have higher odds than some neighboring casinos. We did…read morenot spend the night so I can't rate the hotel rooms. The casino has a decent rewards program - the first time you sign up you receive $20 towards food credit and any money you spend that day up to $500- will be refunded in rewards on the next couple of weeks. We tried the Surf & Turf buffet normally $46.99 on Fridays. With our $20 off per person it was not bad price wise. The pros for the buffet - there is no time limit. One group had been there over 4 hours. The food is all you can eat except for the lobster. We were given 2 tickets for our allotted 2 lobster tails. The buffet has all the necessary elements for my kids. Pasta, potatoes, and a variety of protein options (chicken, fish, & steak). The crab was served hot and cold. Unfortunately the lobster was overcooked. Also the steak (not the prime rib) was cooked very well done. Not edible. Lastly the brownies were dry. This is not a buffet I would rush back to. Rewards members can get a discount but I still don't think it is worth the price.

My husband and I enjoy our visits to Harrahs SoCal. The hotel is clean and spacious inside. There…read moreis plenty of parking in the garage. The rooms are decent. The bed is a bit too hard for me. Even-though it's a smoking casino, the ventilation is good. They offer complimentary water and soft drinks. I enjoy playing the slots. They have a variety of restaurants. We like Hell's Kitchen and Smashedburgers. The cafe is decent. If you're in a mood for a swim, there is a lazy pool. However, it gets busy with kids. I like they have a separate adults pool and there's a swim-up bar. It feels like you're on vacation. During this visit, I had the opportunity to use their spa. I got a pedicure and it was excellent from Tracy. We will return.

I'm no longer a card gambler and only table game I play is Roulette in Vegas, but I still come here…read morefrom time to time now for the food at Haig's. I have no idea why it's called Haig's but it's a short order food honeyhole. It's hard to find a breakfast that's got this much value. Bacon, eggs, sausage, english muffin, pancakes for $8. All their lunches are filling and inexpensive. A great way to keep you fueled for multi hour table runs. They have American and Asian menus, while kinda taste the same, but they have some bangers. Staff is fantastic, hustler, hospitable, great service. Drink prices are chill and worth every penny. They will almost never cut you off unless you get violent or slur your speach bad, fall asleep. Parking is still terrible, parking across the street may get you ticketed/towed if you park there overnight, so try and park as close as possible to get on the cameras. Lots of homeless in the area, but none in the card rooms. Bathrooms are high traffic, but actually kinda clean. Even after all these years I'm still up on them eventhough with the legalization of online betting I still have reason to come here despite doing it all online or roulette in Vegas.

I honestly don't understand who is making decisions at Ocean's Eleven Casino, but it feels like…read morethey go out of their way to make things *harder* for players. They used to have a simple, perfectly fine system where you could call in and put your name on the board for poker games. Easy. Convenient. Player-friendly. Now? That's gone. Instead, they're forcing everyone to download an app just to get on a list. Why? Not everyone wants to download another app. Some people don't have the space. Some people don't trust giving random third-party apps access to their phone. And believe it or not, some people *don't even have smartphones*. So what, those players just don't matter anymore? That's not innovation--that's exclusion. If you want to OFFER an app, great. Give people options. But completely removing the ability to call in is just lazy and tone-deaf. It shows zero consideration for your actual customer base. And this isn't the first time management has ignored players. The chip color change on the 4/8 table from blue to pink? Almost nobody liked it. Players spoke up. And just like now--nothing. No listening, no adjustments, no care. At this point, the place feels like our current government--quick to take your money, but not interested in listening to the people who actually keep the lights on. The players are the ones funding this place, and yet their voices couldn't matter less. It really feels like the people making these decisions don't play here, don't talk to players, and frankly don't care. There's no focus on improving the player experience--just unnecessary changes that frustrate everyone. Heartless, out-of-touch management. If you're going to make changes, at least make ones that *help* your customers, not push them away. If I see any changes or improvement, I will remove this comment.

On our first day staying at Pala Casino, I went to the Poolside Cafe & Bar to grab some lunch while…read moreBecky was with the bridal party getting ready. I sat at the bar and immediately I was invisible. I sat. And I sat. And I sat some more. A solid 10 minutes or more. At one point I stood up to check what was on a different TV than the one above me. Upon my return, the bartender finally acknowledged my existence and said, "Sorry, I guess I left you hanging". I then ordered a beer, which he poured right away. While I had his attention I ordered my meal. After all, I had plenty of time to look at the menu. Then the 2nd round of invisibility started. I finished my beer and was ready for another. I waited. And I waited. And I waited some more. About an additional 15 minutes. I finally caught the attention of the other bartender and ordered a 2nd beer that was never brought to me. Finally, the first guy came back, so I ordered it from him. As he was bringing it to me, I heard him tell one of the young servers, "Make sure it's medium rare". Wait, what?! That's my burger order! You're just now putting it in? WTF? Invisible indeed! Another 15 minutes went by before my burger and "frings" (fries and onion rings) arrived. I realize that the guy was keeping busy with the walk-up customers, but I was right there! Sitting right in front of him! I finished half of the burger and had a lot of rings and fries leftover and needed a to-go box. Good gawd! More waiting ensued. I finally caught a young woman as she was leaving the kitchen area and asked her for a box which she grabbed for me. Trying to get the bartender's attention for the check ended up being yet another exercise in futility. At least the burger was good (really good in fact), the fries too, the only redeeming quality of my visit. The onion rings? Meh. Straight from a bag of frozen.

The toppings and arrangements are so flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Prices are fair for the location. Service is really great, friendly staff and the ambience is great (by the pool, by the pool bar, under a covered patio). The music is slightly loud though but I will definitely go back and try more! Note that you can enter the restaurant and also enjoy the bar without a pool pass.

I usually have lunch at Baron Long bar and grill. There are a few other options inside the casino or head across the way to the Outlet Shops for more food options. The casino is nice, there are also table games. Plenty serve yourself non-alcoholic drink bar with Pepsi products, coffee and tea. Little vignettes of seating and table if you want to take a break from gambling. Bingo across the way, outlet shopping is always fun. Weather, depending on when you go. I've experienced the rain, drizzle, snow, heatwave, winds during the years I've come here.

---Very rude and disrespectful unprofessional employees.--/…read moreOn April 12, around 8 pm, I was in the casino area. A woman won a huge jackpot and went to the restroom. I was sitting two seats away from her, and two casino attendants were standing nearby, waiting for her to return. Out of curiosity, I approached the attendants to see what was happening and asked, "How much did she win?" smiling. The Latina girl turned around with a dirty look, , and the other, with long black hair tied up, responded with a stern face, "We don't disclose the amount," rudely and disrespectfully. Does she know how to say politely, kindly, "Sorry, ma'am, we don't disclose the amount"? Politely with respect? I am a regular customer who has been coming here for years and spends a lot of money. Her rude attitude is not acceptable in this kind of business. This isn't about policy; it's about mannerisms toward customers, which are unprofessional and unacceptable! This is a place where people come to enjoy and be entertained. Her nasty attitude needs to be corrected and trained. I reported this issue to their manager, who seems to be a distinguished African gentleman with glasses, and I hope he takes this matter seriously, reports it to management, and corrects this kind of disrespect and rudeness in this casino.

BAD BINGO REVIEW If you think bingo is quiet, slow, and…read moreborderline funeral energy... you haven't been to Sycuan Casino Resort for BAD Bingo (Bingo After Dark). This is not dauber bingo. This is adrenaline bingo. We're talking quick 1.5-hour sessions-no dragging, no zoning out. Buy-in ranges from $20-$60, with Level I jackpots at $250 and Level II at $500. And here's the kicker: no daubers needed. You're on a desktop screen or portable bingo machine, so the system tracks everything. That means less stressing, more vibing. And the vibe? Unmatched. Music is playing, but it doesn't overpower-it elevates. The room is full of laughter, people celebrating birthdays, couples on dates, solo players locked in, elders having the time of their lives. It's loud in the best way. Social. Electric. You can actually enjoy yourself instead of sitting there in silence like you're at a wake. Between games? That's where it gets wild. Creative mini-contests that feel like game-show energy-extra chances to win money, and honestly, just as fun as the bingo itself. Need-to-know details: It gets cold-bring a layer It's a smoking casino, so expect some residual smoke (though no active smoking during BAD Bingo) *Free self-serve soda (Coke products) *Snack bar upstairs, but the non-smoking café has better options-and you can bring that food in *You can bring your own snacks... just not your own alcohol On big theme nights, there's a free 360 photo booth (tip your attendant) Also-don't get it twisted. Even though the computer does the heavy lifting, there are still interactive features that keep you engaged. You're not just sitting there-you're in it. Bottom line: This is bingo reimagined. Fast, fun, social, and actually worth the money. If traditional bingo is a whisper... BAD Bingo is a whole damn party.

Avoid if you have a disability…read more First and last time at Sycuan. I brought my brother who is paralyzed and needs full assistance, and the experience was a joke. At the time there were zero other cars in valet, yet two employees swarmed my car before I could even get out just to tell me nope because of a tier policy. I needed to valet just to be able to help my brother get inside safely, but they didn't care. It is ridiculous to expect me to leave him alone at the curb while I go hunt for a spot, especially when the handicap spaces in the structure are a massive trek from the door. We felt like a total burden to the staff and were not made to feel welcome at all. Terrible first impression, Definitely won't be back.
