It's located one block west of the Walmart MacroPlaza which is on on Highway 1, I think the street is Calle Hierro (its the street at the south of the Walmart). It's the biggest building around and surrounded by fields. One of the managers says the building is about 5 years old, but there is still not much around it. Valet parking, or you can self-park on the right side. Thru the metal detector you go to enter. Nice and cool inside of course, and pleasantly dark. You get your free player's card at the counter left of the entrance and around you should wander. At the front you are greeted by a roulette table and some card tables. Slot machines are behind and on either side. The main room is smoke free, and there is a smokers section at the back. Even back there were few smokers and the AC works well to whisk away the smoke so it is hardly noticeable. In the back room are more slot machines and the sports betting section, with multiple TV screens. Comfortable big black leather chairs to rest and watch the TV's, which are very comfortable. Plenty of friendly young staff to assist you with gambling, drinks or whatever. Cute young ladies, haha. Nice cold beers for about $2.00, from the bottle or poured in a glass. Bottled water if you don't want coffee or a cocktail. The slots are 2 cents, 3 cents, 5 cents, 10 cents and probably higher. Some of the machines are the multiple game machines where you choose your favorite from 20 or so games. This is the first time I have seen the electronic player's cards which are scanned by your slot machine to upload or download your virtual money you load on the card. The black leather office chairs are cool. I liked this casino and will be back. This time was just a quick stop to check it out on the way to the great big beach they have on the south side of town. The older San Nicolas Hotel and Casino is in Zona Centro on First Street (Avenida Lopez Mateos). That one also has a hot red Caliente Casino sign, so I assume they are related.

Vieja promos is legit!…read more As many times as I have seen the Viejas promo flyers in my mailbox I have always tossed them. But this time I said let me give it a try. Viejas has a pretty good reason to stop by on the weekends in August 8-9and you don't have to spend a dime. Every Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m.-7 p.m., they're giving away a different piece of a bedroom set at the Promotional Center. So far, I've picked up the U.S. Polo queen-size sheets, comforter, and bamboo pillows. Next week is the plush throw--and everyone needs a good throw. Keep it on the couch, toss it in the car for winter, or bring it out when you're sitting around a bonfire. The giveaway itself is simple: bring your casino card and ID, let them scan them, pick up your item, and keep it moving. No purchase required. Now, there is one catch: self-control. If you walk into a casino like a kid walking into a candy store and suddenly the cards and machines start calling your name, that "free" comforter might become a very expensive comforter. As for the quality, I've actually been using everything. The sheets have been great during these hot nights warm enough with the A/C running but still cool enough when it's off. The comforter is incredibly soft without being overly fluffy, and it works nicely with my duvet. The bamboo pillows are light and airy. So far, Viejas is slowly furnishing my bed one weekend at a time. And at the price of FREE, I have absolutely no complaints.

Ive been taking the time to have a few staycations these days and when I received an email from…read moreViejas for a free couple night stay I jumped on the chance. This review is mostly for the Viejas hotel as they have two on the property. I was offered a early check in which I was happy about and the gal in the front asked if I wanted the tower that faced the outlets or the tower that faced the parking garage. Naturally I picked not looking at the parking garage but as I settled in and put my bathing suit on I realized I had to walk through the casino with all my stuff and not too many clothes on that I asked if they would move me. They gladly did and again a room was available, thank you for that. The first thing I noticed when I entered was that there wasnt enough light and nothing was automatic. The curtains were hard to open and close because chairs and tables were in front of it and all the lights had to be switched on and off which was a little annoying for me. The elevators were slow but there was always housekeeping in the hallway if I needed any extra coffee or water and they were all really nice. You also couldnt log into your netflix or other streaming services which was a bummer. They did even have a cucumber lemon water in the lobby which was really refreshing as well. The pool was nice and had a DJ on the weekend but there was no service and no food as well. Just a walk up bar that was closed on Monday when I went, On sunday I did come down in my regular clothes to sit in a "cabana" for a moment when I was rudley asked to move as it was for reservations. I did see a reservation sign on the same bed the day before and it wasnt on there on Sunday so I thought it was ok to sit but the guy working there who didnt seem to like his job let me know he cant have me sitting there. I think next time they should just leave the reserved signs on there so there is no confusion and or just let someone sit if the pool is not even busy anyway. I did need the light to work so the lighting part cut my work time and they had robes and no slippers. Hopefully next time I stay it will be more available. I did win at bingo so overall I left pretty satisfied :)

There is NO HOTEL at the casino, so keep that in mind if you're planning on staying overnight. The casino is in a beautiful location, but it's also kind of in the middle of nowhere. If you're driving from San Diego specifically just to gamble, I'd say it's probably not worth the drive. However, if you're already traveling down the 8 Freeway, I'd definitely recommend giving it a try. The drive out there has some great scenery. Signing up for a Players Club card gets you $10 in free play and 5% off food -- NOT gas. The casino is very well maintained. The staff are super friendly, and the casino smells like food throughout because of the open restaurant. One thing I really liked is that it doesn't smell like cigarettes at all. The casino floor was not busy at all, so you won't have to fight for or wait for a slot machine. Everything was very clean, and they have a decent selection of machines. They may not have the newest games, but there's still a good variety. I'd say they have fewer than 100 machines total. Overall, I wouldn't make the drive out here again just to gamble since I'm from San Diego, but if I'm driving through the area on the 8, I'd definitely stop again!

I've been coming here for several years, and this place holds some incredible memories for me. More…read morethan four years ago, I was fortunate enough to win over $300,000, earn Black Card status in less than two months, hit my first jackpot here, and even hit 14 jackpots in one night! But the wins aren't what keep me coming back--it's the people. Marlena Bradshaw was my host, and she was truly one of the kindest and most genuine hosts I've had the pleasure of knowing. What stood out most was that she always treated me with the same respect, whether I was playing a lot or a little. She was always responsive, professional, and willing to point me in the right direction when I needed help understanding the proper process of returning to this casino. I live about an hour away and have casinos much closer to home, where i have held a diamond status. But I still choose to make the drive here. She never made me feel like just a number or a card status. She made me feel like a person. While other casino host i had would look at my current status and tell me to contact the players club and that they are unable to help because I became a lower status. As if I am now irrelevant. Not Marlena ! She would answer my calls and guide me and never once did I felt less then anyone or anything. The jackpots gave me amazing memories, but being treated with kindness and respect is what truly made this place special. I'm genuinely grateful to Marlena and this is the only way I am able to show it. BTW just got married and spending our honey moon here.
