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 :)

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.

My boyfriend and I had such an amazing time at Sycuan for Reggae Sunday! We honestly wished the…read moreevent lasted longer because we were having so much fun. The entire experience was wonderful. Everyone was respectful, friendly, and knew how to have a great time while still respecting personal boundaries. Our daybed by the pool was awesome, and the food and service by the pool were excellent. We also had dinner at Pink Buddha, and the food was absolutely delicious. What made the night even more special was that my boyfriend suggested we come back again! We had such a great time together--great music, great food, a beautiful atmosphere, and most importantly, a memorable date night! We'll definitely will be back! Like Arnold S.

Seriously, what is not to like about this place?! Someone asked me what my favorite part of my…read morestay was and I really couldn't name just one - there are so many things i like to do here! First off, I had no idea there were 2 hotels at Viejas and honestly love the Willows Hotel & Spa, plus it's a 21+. When you walk in, it feels like a mini Vegas hotel. You go upstairs to the front desk and service was really great, from the check in process to the luggage assistance. But it's really when you get up to the room that is impressive; probably one of the nicer rooms that I've stayed in which a nice open area with a mini bar, desk and living room. The bedroom is in a separate room and much to my surprise, there was a special birthday setup on the bed for me (loved it!). And can't forget the extra large shower with rainfall faucet and all the amenities you would need. On to the spa. Amazing. While it's on the smaller side I had a great experience, from the attentive staff that made me feel welcomed to the massage and near-private hot tub/sauna/steam room and lovely pool area. It's adjacent to the regular hotel pool that you also have access to as well. If you get a service you can use the amenities all day with in and out privileges, such a nice relaxing day if you ask me. So while I'm limiting my review to the hotel and spa, the Viejas property has so much to do. The casino is a short walk from the hotel along with a variety of restaurants. The outlet mall is literally across the street and has a bingo hall and bowling and also had a seasonal skating rink. The golf course is also a drive down the road. In conclusion, I had a 5 star experience. I was sad to check out and I will be back for another stay!

The staff was wonderful but I have to give it 1 star because the manager Krystal was extremely rude…read moreto the staff. She is very unapproachable and made the staff and the rest of the guests very uncomfortable. She is not a people person whatsoever and no one wanted to make eye contact with her. This is the 2nd time I've been there and I had the same experience with her the first time as well. I really don't understand why a person with that attitude is in this type of position and in the hospitality field. I tried giving it a second chance because the rest of the staff is friendly and accommodating but after this recent experience I will never come back and will make sure to tell all my friends and family to stay away.

My experience at this lodge was mixed, but overall, I had a positive stay. I enjoyed the rooms…read more They were clean, the AC worked well, and the room was comfortable. I also liked that the lodge was attached to a small shopping center, which made it convenient to grab food late at night with several options nearby. The customer service was okay. The staff weren't the friendliest, but overall, I didn't have any major issues. I had requested a crib when making my booking, but apparently, the request was never received. If you need one, I'd recommend calling ahead to confirm. We were still able to get a crib, but we had to wait for it to be delivered later that night. As for breakfast, it's definitely one of the more basic continental breakfasts I've had. There were scrambled eggs, bacon, and various breads, along with the usual basics. It was okay at best, but it's always nice to have breakfast included, so I can't complain too much. Another plus was the free parking. Overall, the stay was decent and the pricing was reasonable. We chose this lodge because it was a more affordable option for staying somewhat close to San Diego. I would recommend it if you're looking for a clean and affordable place to stay. It's a great option if you mainly need a comfortable place to sleep while exploring the area.

Forget about calling the front desk for help; they're trained to spout non-stop reasons why they can't charge the correct amount.

There's plenty of free structured parking, which already makes me happy, and valet is there too if you want to keep it simple. I'm not patient enough to wait for valet. The venue is outside/open-air seating, nothing super fancy or over-the-top, but it's clean, well-kept, and nicely laid out. They have general admission (standing) and reserved seating. They also have a VIP section with dedicated amenities. They sell various drinks and a few food items. The venue is part of the Viejas Casino & Resort, so you can easily make a full evening out of it with nearby dining, shopping at the outlet center, or even staying overnight. I would definitely come back for another concert or show.

Great place to see a concert. Venue is not too big, parking was easy and acoustics were great. It's…read moreeasy to get out at the end because a lot of people stay to gamble after. I wish they had more food choices. The only food outside was a hotdog cart where you could get a hotdog, nachos, or chips. They also had a bar that had two kinds of cocktails or beer or hard seltzer, no wine. I got a peach vodka cocktail for $12 that was pretty good, not overly sweet and not super strong. Good vibes in the crowd too. I don't love that you have to walk through the casino to go in and out, it was so smoky. But I would come here again for a concert.

During our stay we were also tended to by Andrew and Ivan, both cool cats as well. Always willing to help when the Players Club card won't turn the light green on the machine. LOL! When we initially arrived and our room wasn't quite ready, we were hanging out with Bobbie at the Lobby bar. We realized that we had forgotten our Players Club cards. We were to leave to get new ones, when Bobbie told us to sit tight and she summoned someone to come to us. Outstanding service. Always a fun time at the Lobby Bar.

This venue is inside of the Sycuan Casino in San Diego. I recently saw Jaya perform a show here…read more Jaya had a song ("If You Leave Me Now") that made-it-big in the US in the mid-80s. She's been touring, releasing music/albums from then until now. She is known as the Philippines "Queen of Soul". Unmistakable and well-known voice. I liked the intimacy of the venue. We were in the first row of the 2nd section and our view was perfect. Staff was nice, ushering in patrons and helping locate their seats. The show pretty much started on time due to this. Very convenient access to the casino floor. Will be back if another performer makes a stop here.

Although it is a location inside a casino the smell of cigarettes is almost non-existent.

This review is not for the wine, service or facilities. This review is for the unprofessionalism…read more and lack of transparency regarding hours of operation. I was looking forward to trying the food and wine here after seeing other reviews but was not able to do so. I came here on a random Saturday afternoon to do a tasting. When I checked the website, it didn't mention anything about requiring reservations, being closed or having a private event, yet when I got there, the gate was locked and there was no signage posted. I tried calling multiple times to ask why they weren't open but no one answered. The voicemail also didn't have any message about being closed. I was very upset but instead of wasting the 30 minutes it took me to get there, I decided to go to the next closest winery which was Granite Lion Cellars Winery. Pearson may have lost a customer but I gained a new winery.

Not sure why this winery has such a high rating when it's hard to even get in? Don't make the same…read moremistake we did by assuming they'd be open! :( I agree with the Yelp review posted a month ago that their communication is lacking regarding operating hours. In retrospect, this winery also doesn't have many reviews - likely because they don't welcome walk-ins and fail to note that anywhere. Their 5-star reviews aren't recent; posted a year ago for some & over two years ago for most. Tried to go this weekend when it should've been open. Called prior to make a reservation; went straight to voicemail and no indication of actual hours. No signage about hours/whether they were open or closed, except a small, unwelcoming security-related sign noting the premises were being watched. Lesson learned: leave a voicemail and make sure someone gets back to you first before you go. Don't waste your time getting out here only to be met with a locked gate and no one around.

Found this place while searching for spots to visit with animals, and I'm so glad it popped up!…read moreSuch a fun sanctuary farm. The woman at check‑in was very nice and gave us a map plus a quick rundown of the layout so we knew exactly where to go. I'm obsessed with pigs, so I was very excited to meet their adorable pot‑belly pig at the front named Toffee. Tickets were on the pricier side, but honestly worth it -- the money supports an organization that gives animals of all kinds a safe, loving place to live. They also sell produce grown on the farm, along with drinks and snacks you can enjoy while walking around the grounds. They offer upgraded experiences for an additional cost if you want something more hands‑on. We went on a bright, sunny day, and it was HOT -- definitely recommend sunglasses, a hat, sunscreen, and comfy walking shoes. I was in heaven here. They have goats, camels, pigs, horses, a zebra, and more. You can easily spend the whole day here -- come early to beat the heat and the crowds. It's truly an animal lovers' paradise and a great place to learn about animals, be outside, and have some fun, all while supporting an amazing nonprofit doing meaningful work. A wholesome, memorable outing and a great day trip for families, friends, or anyone wanting to try something new.

This is the most special place I have ever been to, I've never been more happy. If you love animals…read moreyou have to check this place out! First off it's huge and you are allowed to feed and pet ALL of the animals! They have so much to see! Cows, pigs, camels, and even a zebra!! I never thought in my life I'd pet a zebra, this experience is just incredible! They even have turkeys and peacocks that roam and even came up to us for some food! All of the animals were super friendly and adorable. We even saw the smallest mini horse ever that was so cute. There are also cats that roam the property and one of them followed us throughout the whole place. Can you ask for a cuter tour guide?! They also grow their own produce and sell eggs. We picked and cut our own pumpkins and left with some duck eggs as well! Overall this was just the most fun experience I've ever had. I regret not purchasing the membership because ever since I left I keep thinking about how bad I want to come back! This is definitely a hidden gem and a fantastic experience.
