Wows and Woes

The interior decor is amazing: very clean, bright and colorful, like walking into painting. The main lobby is warm, inviting and draws you in.

The negative aspect is the time and distance it takes to get there. It seems like an endless road to nowhere before you arrive.

Insider Tips

It is best to book your plans early, whether for golf, entertainment and dining. The casino is very busy during the weekends with travel and tour groups, so it is best to use the concierge services. Also check with the promotions department to see what is going on with the casino during your stay to take advantage of specials.

Author's Most Memorable Moment

During a weekend away from it all, I was playing craps at the High Rollers section. While betting the minimum, I ended up hitting a string of six numbers in a row. Those six numbers made me more than $3,200, the second highest amount I ever won playing the game.

Bottom Line

Located in Southern California, this casino is roughly 90 miles from Los Angeles and San Diego. It offers a rich resort atmosphere with plenty of entertainment for adults with sophisticated taste.
