Sycuan Casino Resort

We got stuck in the SanDiego/TJ area for an unexpected night. Through our travel agent, we got this little slice of heaven. All of the other hotels/motels were more expensive and not nearly as nice. The bed quality and comfort is a priority for us. The room was beautiful, clean, and very comfortable including the bed. The staff was extremely nice and helpful. Put it this way, if we lived closer, we might just stay here for quick getaways or romantic stays. Great place and highly recommended

The rooms at Sycuan are lovely. Spacious, with high ceilings. We also had a balcony, which was so nice. The casino was lively and fun. A great variety of machines to play. All the employees were exceptional.

My wife and I stayed here during the first week of December while visiting a friend and celebrating my birthday, and we truly couldn’t have picked a better place. This property is absolutely stunning — the mountain views and sunsets are breathtaking. From the moment we arrived, the staff across every area went above and beyond to make our stay special. The bartenders were fantastic, friendly, and attentive, and the service throughout the resort was consistently excellent. Our room was spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained — easily one of the most well-kept properties we’ve stayed at in a long time. We dined at Viewpoint several times and loved it. The eggs Benedict were a standout, and the wait staff was warm, welcoming, and professional every visit. Although we didn’t make it to the spa this time, it’s at the top of our list for our next trip. As a bonus, I had great luck in the casino, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, this stay exceeded our expectations in every way. We’re already talking about coming back — honestly, I could see us flying in monthly just to relax here. A huge thank-you to the entire team for such a memorable experience. We can’t wait to return.

Staff couldn’t have been friendlier. Everyone was very helpful and nice. Only negative was the people in room next to us that were smoking skunk **** all night. Came thru vents and we felt like we had a contact high. We had asked for non smoking. Mexican restaurant was good. Had nice bartenders and great shrimp cocktail. Very open and airy.

well I didn't win and the next time I go will submit pictures. The variety of machines here is staggering from penny to dollar slot to poker and I appreciate how the types of machines are spread out instead of centralized or sectioned. I was really impressed how it's hard to tell if you're in the smoking section - you could barely smell, see, or tell. every section seemed like non-smoking/very easy to breath. plus now, if you play/lose enough, you can ask for food or free play comps at the Sycuan Club section (at the bottom of the escalators), and they've been reasonably generous, so far. Am definitely going back.

I had the most AMAZING stay at Sycuan Casino for our Galentine’s trip and I’m still not over it. We stayed in the Chairman’s Suite and it was absolutely unreal — floor-to-ceiling views, stunning decor, and the balcony shower?! Literal main character energy. The entire suite felt like a luxury hotel mixed with a spa retreat. We started the night with dinner at Viewpoint Burgers and it was such a vibe great food, drinks, and the perfect casual-but-fun spot before heading back to get ready. Everything from check-in to the service to the overall experience was top tier. Sycuan really knows how to do luxury, comfort, and aesthetics all in one. Already planning my next stay. 💅✨

This place had mixed vibes. I'll start with the pros: The service was pretty good and they had cheap beer (about 5ish dollars a pop). The blackjack table was pretty good. We sat and drank beer there for over 7 hours and we left with the same amount we came with, drinks included. There was definitely value there. Now the cons: it is a very ugly casino. It was drab, boring, and gray everywhere. The materials everywhere were cheap and ugly. The tables at the bar were literally faux gray marble formica. They make hundreds of millions a year and can't manage to step up the quality a little?? Also, there was no fair, unrigged roulette to speak of which was disappointing. Anyone with half a brain can see this upon looking. The real highlight was blackjack and cheap drinks, but sadly my partner and I hated the ugly and cheap ambiance so much that we decided we won't be returning. Take some decorating tips from Barona.

I am a big fan of Harrah's. You can use your players card for Las Vegas casinos as well. The rooms are nice. Employees, dealers and waitresses are awesome. They are a little stingy on their free play. I do enjoy playing the slots there. You have to try the Mexican food restaurant there, Rita's Cantina. On a cold day I recommend the pazole...

I Lost!!! But you can't win em all. Had another Great Sunday with some ups and downs. But I picked up triple points and got to take this nice San Diego Scarf home with me. My machine didn't pay off but some others next to me did well. Things are always on a higher level at Sycuan and always a good time. Finished the night at Rank n File for some burgers. A minor mishap would send our orders all over the place but it was quickly fixed and was delicious. Management is on top of things here. And let me say a big thanks to all The internal staff club services, servers, maintenance, cleaning services, and techs. All Of these Men and Women of these various fields are super friendly and play a critical role in making the Sycuan Experience the Best it Can Be.

Just find out one more bad thing about this casino that most host in table game area unfriendly, rude, attitude and unprofessional. My friends and me had some fun and free bet table today. And this was happended: First dealer, 5th time Blackjack. Second dearler, there was problem when a lady be mad at him because she did not get any win hand since she sat down. When she get 20, dealer hit 21, she was very mad at dearler and talked bad to him. When dealer claim to host, he gave a lady dirty look, and nothing. At least you ne trained for this situation because it will happen a lot durinh gamble time. But he showed very bad customer service, do nothing to make better for that table. People feel so heavy time, bad mood and then never win or happy time together. Most players leave or stop play. We kept play with positive feeling and excited for good card, good hand coming. But you know this casino keep treat players terrible like never see it happen like that. We are not gamble with big hand playing, just get some fun with game but they showed cheating all of time. My friend told me that they never see any casino set up the table game like that. A new dealer come with every hand 20, anytime she hit will be 21. Tell me that is a random? Never! I dont know if players who bet big money how they lose and be upset, be mad during game time if the casino work like that. Terrible thing when we are still playing, fun and never get mad with dealer because we know problem from the cards, from casino, not dealer. When we tried to make more coversation with dealer, a lady host come and tell me that if you dont win let get out, dont play anymore. Wow! That is not what you need to do and of cousre never say that to your customers. Seriously how this casino can keep business with employee like her. And ok, we stopped and leave. Honestly I come back because restaurant that is my favorite. My friends are first time here and then they told this is first, also last time. Unacception the way this casino treat customers. And we feel that nobody who work here happy or true friendly that is last thing to keep people coming here.

It was my first time staying and being in this property...I booked it too late through Expedia and I had VIP perks for this one...It was kind of late and there weren't so many availabilities and specially that rain was started and this hotel was the closest one so i gave a chance and ill be honest i didnt check through Yelp...I just put closest hotel resort next to me and having casino was bueno...Because we didnt even have a plan to stay while we had a one day trip to San Diego...So, i didnt do my research before staying here. The front desk was friendly but was insisting that she cant see any perks in her side and i dont have perks...After lil bit of back and forth, she called her manager and manager says we have it so i was confused! We had $25 per room for food and beverages. Also, we didnt have room upgrades which it was the first time after long time that with my VIP status i didnt get upgraded room! She offered us second floor and i told her the noise is too loud and if she is sure we are not going to be bothered then she offered us upper floors that have mutual door between and she mentioned that guest can be very loud...So, we got upper levels and the walls were thinner than paper! Just imagine how interesting night we had...The pillows were super firm and also the bed mattress! The room itself was ok for one night stay but then the cigarette or etc smells were killing us the whole night!!!!! I had a feeling someone next to me was smoking!!!! This much close to me...im allergic to eat so my night couldnt be pleasant! They had also complimentary valet and charge for resort...i didnt use the pool but they assured that its heated...Overall, my experience was ok! The casino was ok and i'll say slow not crowded at all...the live music was fun but toooooo loud!!!!they gave us a gift (sun shade) which it was cool! We didnt win so take look into surveys about what people think about casino! Its resonated with us! No more complaints!

Good: hotel room price, fitness center is awesome, food - viewpoint breakfast was great, orange chicken from Pink Buddha was bomb, nice room with king bed. Bad: WiFi extremely slow, pool hours suck 9a-5p (no night time pool as advertised in pictures online), stinky casino from cigarettes, beautiful trail behind resort that you CAN NOT hike, no room coffee maker, lazy river was closed, pool bar not open until noon.

Disappointing birthday weekend- pool bar closed at 3:45 with a line of people waiting to get drinks. There was no announcement either, people were continuing to line up. We tried to set up a reservation at the steak house and the waitress/ host in the front was rolling her eyes and told us we could either right that second or come back at 8. We asked for the 8:00 reservation and then she said she couldn't do it. So why even offer it? It felt borderline discriminatory. Thankfully the viewpoint was able to take us and our waitress was amazing. Its hard to have fun at a resort when all the entertainment is closed and tables are full.

The Padres Suite is sweet! In February we booked a room at Sycuan for two nights in late August for our 10-year wedding anniversary. A window popped up asking if we wanted to check out upgrades. Sure, whatcha' got? The Padres Suite was available! That's what. Hell yeah! We're in! Perhaps not a big deal to some but to diehard fans and Padres season ticket holders such as Becky and me, it was a huge deal. We've been trying for years, and it has always been booked solid for months. The suite was well appointed with mini fridge, in-room coffee, two large TVs (one in the bedroom, one in the sitting room). The king bed was super comfy. Huge bathroom with a walk-in shower that featured a regular shower head and a center ceiling rainfall shower head. Spectacular shower! The large L-shaped balcony overlooked the resort pools and lazy river below. Everything in the room was Padres and baseball themed. An armchair in the sitting room was great. A Rawlings labeled chair with tan baseball glove leather on the seating surface and white baseball leather on the sides with red baseball stitching. Paintings of Padres players of the past adorned the walls. A signed Manny Machado jersey hung in the kitchenette above the sink. The giant picture of Petco Park above the bed (with automatic curtains) was epic! Upon arrival we checked in with Gregory. He was super nice and polite. The room wasn't ready yet, but he got us all checked in and gave us our wristbands for entry to the pool area. He said we'd get a call when the room was ready. Not a half hour later we received that call. I returned to the front desk where I met Tara. She hooked me up with our key cards and up to 2102 we went. From check in to check out everything about our stay was stellar. The staff, the room, everything, well, except for gambling losses. LOL!

The pool is a 5 star experience.... With the exception of the food, that unfortunately brings it down a star. Booked a 1 day pool pass for $25 on a Tuesday and LOVED it. We thought that by getting there at 11 AM that we would get really great seat selection but apparently the secret is out. We were still happy with our seats, they were poolside. We just didn't get an umbrella. They do provide towels, so another bonus for them! There are two pool areas and then a lazy river. The pool area is very modern and clean. I love that they have poolside service for food and drinks but the food was terrible. We ordered the Caesar salad and chicken fingers. I didn't take any pictures of the food but trust me it was not great. If you want to book a private bed for two people, it is $125 and according to our waitress if you spend that much on food and drinks, they take it off the cost of the bed. That that's a really good deal! I just don't drink enough these days to make that worth it and I certainly would not be eating $125 of that crappy pool food. The drinks looked amazing though! I wasn't planning on drinking that day, but I did get a soda water with lime and some fresh mint. I've heard that the restaurants inside the hotel and casino are much better. Apparently they have concerts that are a really good time in the pool area too, but the tickets for those are special events. I've seen videos from some of them and they look very well attended!

I was back a Sycuan for our Ladies Holidays Slumber party. Our stay was definitely a success. The staff was very accommodating. The Viewpoint Kitchen and Bar was great. The food was very well seasoned, and portions were well appointed. My friends and I had a blast with the Friday night band and the holiday decorations were nice.

I've been here on and off through the years. The casino is decent in size. I won $50 after using a players card sign up promo. They also give away freebies (a sunshade was the big giveaway the evening I was here). They have some decent restaurants here including a sports bar to watch UFC and a nice sit down place called Viewpoint. What this casino can improve on is the amount of smoke that spreads out. Even on the non smoking floor you can smell it. There was a certain area where it did improve but if you're not hanging there you will get hit with smoke pretty good. The staff here is friendly and helpful.

I visited on a Sunday evening and had no trouble finding parking in the structure. The casino wasn't too crowded, and there were plenty of open slot machines to choose from. They also offer four restaurant options inside, including American, Mexican, and Asian cuisine. Overall, a smooth and enjoyable visit!

UPDATE! Going to keep this short and simple... 1) RESORT STAY - had a King Suite (on the 9th floor) and it was comfortable as can be and very clean. Just wanted to stay in the room. If you are staying here you get free valet parking! Hated the badging system on the hotel door, they didn't work so great. The bed itself was so comfy but the down or feather pillows go flat real quick and not good for people who like firmer pillows. The bathroom was huge and spacious. Huge walk in shower that did the body good. Private bathroom door for the toilet. "ADULT" Chanel on the TV is PORN - literally thought adult as in nothing under pg13 and more like beyond rated R. Didn't like the occasional loud drunk people making noise in the hallway at 2am. Didn't like the muffler delete cars nor the stereo blasting cars below (noise travels upward) interrupting bedroom time. Not too many of them but a few coming thru. Besides all those minor things the overall stay was pretty good! 2) ENTERTAINMENT - lots to do. Gamble, bingo, music, concerts, bars, restaurants, etc. It was fun.

Today I had another episode at Sycuan. As I was dropping off someone there was a black SUV parked in the middle of the aisle & didn't care to move out the way... the guy in the back seat was rolling up weed... I asked why do they think it's ok to just sit here in people way ... his reply was " F U B******" so things got a little out of hand & the guy got out the car with a beer bottle & smoking weed in Sycuan ground which I though was drug free .. I was lost ... I asked both valet supervisors how is it ok for him to smoke weed & drink his beer ... one of the superviso stated it wasn't beer it's fancy water... but I'm sti trying to figure when was weed legal to just smoking rt in the front . This just happen around 430pm today ...let's hope higher management take control of this.

One of the oldest and best casinos in sycuan. Partnered with the padres, a great place to try to win tickets. A hotel, restaurants, pool, best bingo, bar, non smoking section, high limits, and just minutes away from downtown San Diego!

I am not a gambler, but I love this casino for the great food, entertainment, and lazy river and pool! My friend and I enjoy coming here to enjoy mostly everything I mentioned above. We decided to try the restaurant Karma. I liked how it was eye catching because it was decorated in pink decor which was not only eye catching but pretty too! Pretty In Pink. Karma is an Asian infused restaurant inside the casino. We sat down at a comfortable table and the waitress came over to greet us and take our order. She was warm and friendly which made us feel welcome. We didn't take too long to order since we both were very hungry. I decided to get the Mongolian beef with white rice. My friend ordered the honey walnut shrimp, papaya salad, and edamame. It didn't take too long for the food to arrive. It was so delicious. My dish was a little spicy but it was so tantalizing to the taste buds! The waitress did warn me it would be spicy, and I was still going to order anyway since I like spicy food . I just added sweet and sour sauce on the side to add a sweet flavor and also to tone down the spice. It was perfect . My friend really enjoyed the shrimp dish and the other two items. We had a great experience here at Karma. The staff really works hard to keep the restaurant clean and tidy, and the waitresses work very hard because this place is busy and popular. The cooks are very talented because the food is so flavorful and presented artistically on the plate. Everything about this restaurant is 5-Stars from the colorful and beautiful pink decor, pleasant ambiance, friendly waitresses, awesome food dining in a clean environment was the perfect dining experience! I will be back soon!

When I continue to go back to a place it's typically because of the people who work there. Sycuan is no exception and while I do love the casino much more than any of the competition in San Diego, it's still the people who make my experience for me. So, that being said, I'd like to shoutout a person who was super cool during my last visit. Carnell Canada - sounds like a fake name, right? It's not! Carnell was the front desk agent and was super personable when I arrived a few weeks ago. Very friendly, authentic small talk, and in good spirits even with a recent knee surgery that sidelined him. Sycuan has done a great job staffing and people like Carnell have become the expectation, not the exception, and that's doing great things for my patronage!

I've been to Sycuan quite a few times over the years and have always had a great experience, maybe not in the winning money sense but always fun nonetheless. This rave review in particular is for their Bad Bingo. We got a group together and were able to reserve a table together, one thing to note is that you need a players club to do so, and you also need one for bingo buy in. While you can get one at the buy in counter, I would probably suggest signing up before since the line can get long. I'd also say that the table reservation was a great idea especially for our first time since they give you a fun goodie bag filled with light up rave items as well as glow necklaces. Huge props to the staff who contributed to this experience, especially for someone's first time and really appreciated their positive energy. The MC was amazing, bringing so much energy and laughter. Love how it is encouraged to get loud and silly and get your dance on. This is a real 180 from other bingo halls that I've been to and it's refreshing to not be told to be quiet. I'll also say that the variety of games was unique and I liked them - my favorite was the dance battles. My only comment is that it was hard to see the dance participants and would've been nice if there was a stage. We didn't want the fun to stop and our group had such a fun time here at Bad Bingo. Highly recommend for those bingo players who are looking to have a raucous good time!

Angelique or Angelica, floor attendant (money changer) on the second floor is RUDE! I said "'miss"-no response or acknowledgment . The second, she said " I heard you"I said, well you didn't respond. She said " I'm busy!" I asked her to watch a machine for me and she said -rudely " you want me to baby sit it for you!?" Ok then, never mind!

So I reviewed Sycuan a few weeks ago and gave it one star. Today I am trying to give it negative stars but unfortunately Yelp won't let me go that low. The first thing that you notice when pulling into the garage is that it's almost empty in there. In the past, on Sundays you had to really struggle to find parking but I think more and more people are now wising up and going elsewhere if they want to gamble. I swore off this place a few weeks ago, but my wife likes it here for some reason so we decided to skip the beach and beat the heat at the casino. I vowed not to play and didn't. Just my $20 free play (which in true Sycuan fashion was gone within two minutes betting only 88 cents.) I decided to go get a cold Italian sandwich at the pizza place and was the only customer there. However, it took over ten minutes to get a COLD sandwich (meat, cheese, veggies.). The sandwich was 90% bread with a few sad slices of meat and cheese. It definitely captured the essence of the place. And for this they have the nerve to charge $17. Luckily I had my food credit because if they tried to charge me $17 for that I would have a good court case to bring Sycuan to The Hague for crimes against humanity. By the time I was done with my loaf of bread...I mean "sandwich", my wife came to me frowning. She bets .50 and under and in the course of about half an hour lost the $100 that she brought to play with. She asked if I wanted to leave...and I have to say that was music to my ears. I felt bad for her getting ripped off by Sycuan and reimbursed her on the way to the car. But I found a way to beat Sycuan....go out there, use your free play and food credits, and then leave. On your way home fill up your tank at their gas station since it's cheaper than anywhere in town. See you in a few weeks, Sycuan! I'll have some free play and free food credits by then and I'll need a fill up of gas. I'll have to find somewhere in your place that doesn't have depressing, embarrassing food but you won't get a cent out of me. :)

WOWZA!!! Sycuan Casino Resort is quite large!! They offer hotel rooms, spas, pool, casino activities, restaurants, entertainment, and much more!! The casino has slots, poker, table games, Asian table games, bingo, and high limit!! I believe they said there's 2,400 gaming machines. There's bingo, blackjack, poker, roulette, and craps. They have several dining options and bars. They also have special events. You'll have to make reservations for weddings, meetings, or events. They have golfing as well!! We had a great time dining and playing slot machines. The employees were very helpful and friendly. Everything was well maintained and clean. We will be back for more activities soon!!

We come here from time to time for a pool day. During the week is more adorable than on the weekends and far less crowded. The drinks are kind of expensive but it's fun to float the lazy river or watch the game in the pool. Perfect for a ladies afternoon.

Always a good place to go. The rooms are nice and clean!! The slots are decent too. Valet parking is only for hotel guest and black card members. The restaurants will have anything you need to eat.

Our group booked 3 cabanas at the pool area for Industrial Monday (7/725). I haven't been to Sycuan since forever. Although I knew there was structured parking- I figured- let me just park in the front of the casino entrance. I wore my medical boot. Once I walked in the main door- I was greeted by security. There are metal detectors and prior to me walking thru- I inquired about the direction of the pools. So, following his directions- I didn't realize it was really a trek to get to the very opposite end. The stairs throughout the casino/ hotel areas are steep. Although accessible ramps are near the stairs- handrails are accommodating. Once you get to the top of the stairs leading to the check in shack of the pool area- it's best to take the elevators- which you'd need to walk back into the building. Once you arrive at the bottom level- adjacent to the Heritage Event Center- you'll use the EXIT double doors at the very end of the hallway (closest to the elevator). I was stumped for a few minutes because there's no signage indicated that this is the door to the pool area and I was afraid I'd set off an emergency alarm. Since 3 cabanas were booked under the reservation- some in our group arrived on time. From what I've read online, the time frame to check into the cabanas is 10:30am- 12pm. Mayra was our server for the cabanas and informed us we could place our belongings on the lounge chairs designated to our reservation, since some of us arrived before 10:30am. At 10:30am we could enter the cabanas and 11am food/ drink service would begin. You'll see the food/ beverage menu in each cabana. What caught my eye is ALMOST everything has a price next to it, except the cocktails. I found that odd. So, when I placed my cocktail orders- especially since I had two different types of cocktails (Peachy Keen & Hip Hip Hui?). Both cocktails are $17.32 each. I think cabanas are allowed 8 guests each? The mini fridge supplies cold waters and sodas (7 Up/ Coke/ Diet Coke). And will be replenished as requested. Any beverages left at the end of your reservation can be taken. Pool towels and utensils along with plastic cups are handy. Music was already bumping by 10am when I arrived. And this is exactly how a lazy summer Monday should be enjoyed! Mayra did such an amazing job always checking up on us. When some of us were at the edge of the lazy river- Mayra took some of our cocktail orders and I asked if she preferred us to stay in place and wait for our drinks. She insisted we enjoy the water and she'd look for us! Wowza! We kept our eyes on Mayra (LOL) and flagged her down when we were around the bend on the lazy river and she caught up to us. I ordered the tuna melt for lunch and wasn't expecting a huge overflowing sammie! There was no way I could finish the whole sandwich and have room for those super crispy seasoned fries! Thank goodness a friend took the other half. The thick sourdough bread is slightly toasted and you'll probably spoon the tuna overflow off your plate. 4:30pm is check out and last call for cabanas. 5pm is when they need to be cleared. But, you can still utilize the assigned lounge chairs since the pools close at 8pm. In the women's restroom- there's a huge jug of sunblock on the sink counter. There's a rinse off column outside of the restrooms. My friends were against me trekking all the way back to my vehicle with my medical boot. I wore my medical boot anytime I was out of the pool. Mayra had her manager inquire about wheelchair assistance. When (I guess it was the manager of the pool area? I didn't read the work badge) staff approached our group to confirm the wheelchair request- she radio'd security. At that time, she informed us everyone in security was occupied with something- and if we wanted to wait a bit for them to bring the wheelchair- we could. I asked if the wait would be more than an hour and we were told she doesn't have that information. But, the wheelchair is at the valet area. That comment threw us off. And a few guests in our party were not pleased. The concern was- and spoken to that staff member- how do Sycuan assist with disabled clients? It was odd. My friend took it upon himself to get the wheelchair from valet and bring it all the Way down to our cabana. And then- wheel me all the way to parking section E at the front of the casino. Thinking about it now- if the security that I encountered when I first entered the property offered wheelchair assistance- I would've been elated at the gesture of hospitality.

Had the best time at the Sycuan Resort pool. They brought the vibes on Labor Day Weekend and had complimentary food including mini hot dogs, house kettle chips with 3 different dipping sauces, pico de gallo, a watermelon and a corn salad, turkey legs and even dessert in the form of mini apple pies. Def a welcome surprise that was open to all at the pool. Sydney provided great service for us at the day bed and the ambiance was relaxing, with an upbeat vibe but none of the guests were obnoxious. Looking into booking a cabana next time for an upcoming friend's birthday. Only thing missing is a good buffet.

Decided to check it out since we were visiting family down the street... As soon as I walked in the smell of sulfur / sewer hit me (that should have been our first sign to leave!) ... started exploring and quickly ended up in a hot boxed cigarette smoked area... U-turned and went back to the non smoking area and asked a cashier where we sign up for a card and she said we had to walk thru the smoking area... it was bad... my husband picked chips for his sign up gift but the tables we found were unfriendly and awkward... $25 to join in (min bet) .. after getting dizzy from smoke we decided to go back to the non smoking / sewer smell area, to play a little slots but slots were tight and didn't win anything . The vibe there is very try dark and there's alottt of sketchy activity. Didn't see much security. Got out of there fast. If you don't like cigs smoke, don't go there!! And it's not really a friendly place.

Wonderful time at Sycuan although I dont gamble. Was a mini vacation for me and had a great time listening to the band play in the evening. Ate at Rank and File and had the best Smoked Brisket Sandwich. Waitress super friendly and all the staff. Maybe because I always smile and say hi but everyone was super nice and friendly. The room I stayed very clean and confortable. The maintenance very helpful with providing clean towels and bathing items. I was given the opportunity to watch how to play poker. Definetely will return for another mini vacation to destress. Only con was the smell of smoke in the casino floor since Im not a smoker. But, overall very good experience.

I visited Sycuan Casino this past weekend with my Dad, he signed up for a new member card, Big Shout out Mari at Guest Services!!!! provided great customer service. A bigger Shout out to Amber, Slot Attendant, beautiful smile, friendly, knowledgeable in Casino promos, great customer service and helped me find the non smoking room. Great visit!!!

A nice casino in the SD footfills... Stayed here for 2 evenings and a nice experience. Casino was the typical tribal casino with interesting variations of Black Jack, Craps, and Roulette as compared to Vegas. I didn't try the other table games like poker and stuff. They also have a good assortment of slots. Very clean, things seem newer or refreshed. However, smoking is allowed for people in the bar and playing areas. Bathrooms were clean. The hotel and grounds is nice, clean. A spa worker told my wife that the hotel was built about 5 years ago. One thing to note is that the place it a little out of the way. No close by shopping centers and stuff. There is a Sycuan gas station and convenience store about a mile and a half or so... someplace you probably wanna drive to get to. So all in all, a nice experience. Pretty friendly staff, clean facility, have a variety of dining options, exercise room, pool (closed in winter), spa, table games and slots. I even got a bit of luck and made a small net withdrawal! Def would consider staying again!

I haven't stayed at their hotel but I get a day pass to visit their pools which is $25 on the weekdays, they have bars with good drinks & decent food, multiple pools and there's no kids... just some bumpin music!

I've always enjoyed visiting this casino for its entertainment and great restaurants, which is why I was excited to finally stay here for the first time to celebrate my friend's birthday. We booked a room specifically for Reggae Sundays and called the day before to ask if tickets were required for hotel guests. The customer service representative told us we would need to purchase tickets, so we did. Since check-in wasn't until 3 PM and the concert started at 12 PM, we went straight to the event first. We arrived dressed appropriately for the pool -- in bathing suits, cover-ups, and sarongs -- and left our luggage in the car. After the concert, we checked in and come to find out from the host we didn't need to purchase tickets for the event since we were staying at the hotel. We spent $150 all together for our 3 tickets which was unnecessary! We then walked back to the garage to get our luggage and return to the hotel. To get there, we had to walk through the casino. While walking back, a security guard suddenly yelled at me, "Ma'am! Ma'am! Put a shirt on!" -- loudly and in front of a crowd of guests playing slots. I was shocked and completely humiliated by the way I was spoken to. My friend, also upset by the tone and public embarrassment, asked to speak to a manager. The guard became defensive, even cracking his neck in an intimidating way, and said there was no reason to speak to him that way. We were later told that their policy requires guests to wear shirts while walking through the casino. However, this was never communicated to us at check-in, nor did we see any signs posted. We were coming directly from a poolside event hosted by the property, so it was reasonable to assume our attire was appropriate -- especially since many other guests were dressed similarly. I felt unfairly targeted and body-shamed. We eventually spoke with a manager named Justin, who acknowledged that the security guard was out of line and should not have spoken to me that way. While I appreciated his honesty and professionalism, the experience left a lasting negative impression. As a business owner, I understand the importance of treating customers with respect and professionalism. Sadly, due to how we were treated, I won't be returning. I'd rather take my business elsewhere where women are treated with dignity and respect.

Worst casino in California 3rd visits I spent 1k each time in & out in 30mins to 1hr (super tight machine) No bonus happening at here

This is definitely the best casino ever! Excellent customer from the front desk and the best customer service from s the ladies at Starbucks like Sienna. Stephanie. This ladies make a huge difference for sycuan. We come every months to enjoy a great ambiance and stay

Had an overnight stay at Sycuan Casino Resort. Everything about this resort is premium. The casino was huge with many options to enjoy a brief staycation. From dining, spa/pool and gaming to beautiful hotel accommodations. I chose a premium suite that included a living room with tv, a bedroom with another TV, a huge bathroom with an oversized shower that, I swear, could accommodate up to 5 people that included an overhead rain shower and a standard showerhead. Everything about the room was luxurious and comfortable. If you come for an overnight stay, don't forget to visit the pool area. It's one of the highlights of this resort. The staff here was friendly and professional. Thanks to Sycuan Casino Resort for providing a relaxing visit I won't forget. I'll be booking another stay in September.

No comparison to Viejas Casino!! I went here for the first time last week and was disappointed. There was too many floors for gaming. I enjoyed the table games. However all of the restaurants were closed and the late night options reminded me of a cheap off of the strip Vegas casino. Like Arizona Charlie's.

This message is for Lizzy S . IF you are genuine in your responses and truly cared about your clients you should definitely meet with your security staff and put together a uniform policy with set standards and rules that are. Equal and fair especially when it comes to exclusions . How long between games is. Patron allowed to be on the floor not. Gambling . 90 seconds 5 minutes. 20 minutes a hour ? Because I literally was off my. Machine for. 6 minutes when I was accused of loitering !!!!! Both. Times charging my. Phone to transform more money to gamble . When I told this to the intrusive officer questioning me at the machine he radio in to the club so they can check my card play. I don't play with the card. It's not mandatory, he bases his decision solely off of what my players card says ?!! if playing with a club card is mandatory and put it in the rules and make everybody do it if it's not then don't use it as a soul basis of how you treat your client !! I had told him I'm somewhat superstitious when it comes to gambling, and I don't think the card works in my favor . Most people that gamble have superstitions is part of the gambling culture . So before he even radioed I stated that I don't play with cars. It's my preference not to do so . and I told him he didn't believe me, he could easily check the surveillance and they would easily been able to tell him that I was gaming the entire time of my visit, but he wouldn't bother with that I've literally had your security. Tell me that surveillance" doesn't like to be bothered " with anything that doesn't involve issues with l money loss of under hundreds of dollars yet I Frequented to. Sycuan 6-7 days. A week. Literally spending 600 -1800 a well well over 3k. A month . I know I keep track because I'm a barber I file 10-99 and track my spending for tax purposes . I could literally go in there and get a petition signed with least 100 names of your staff members that would vouch for me and tell you that I'm a good patron and I'm always polite. I always take care of staff always tip them ! I challenge you ask your staff they all know me by name ! but you guys won't do that. You guys just wanna look good on review sites you ask anyone!! Ask anyone about me by my name ask anyone about Warren Antonio... Everyone knows I come in there and spend money and I'm very polite and you guys sat there and you guys treated me like a dog!!! if you want anything you said on one of your response to reviews to carry any merit at all look into to it !! I challenge you to challenge gaming commission to allow me to plead my case and not wait a year to do so, but you won't! Your staff didn't even have enough respect for me to ask the surveillance to check if I had been gaming or not it's all fake. I hope you prove me wrong. You guys have my email my phone number Warren Antonio dob 3/26/1984 look me up.!!! I'll be waiting on a email phone call or any sort of response I can get banning me for life was not the move. I didn't deserve that.

On a random night we decided to test our luck and check out the festivities for Chinese new year. The entire casino was decorated transforming the space to really embrace and celebrate the new year of the snake. The lion dancing is always fun to see. As much as we enjoy the casino we wish there was more separation between smokers and non smokers as we would come more often but it's just too smoky for us to enjoy our time. We ordered whiskey sours and they were awful. Although, we didn't win we had a great time minus the smoke and drinks. The employees at the tables were mostly friendly. Some however looked like they hated their life. Constantly looking around seemingly distracted barely with us at the tables. Hopefully we will be big winners so until next time.

Late Post: 02/17/25 My friend and I checked in and Yusuf was the one who took care of us. He was very friendly and was very nice. My friend's name is Nadia and he mentioned that his wife has the same name. You can tell he loves his wife because he carries a piece of paper with his wife's name handwritten on it. It was actually so nice to see. He hooked us up with a balcony after I joked with him about treating us special in honor of his wife. :) It was such a nice experience to begin our staycation with Yusuf checking us in. Hope you are lucky enough to meet him one day. The room was so nice. Loved the balcony and it was nice to just hang out there and look out. Everyone that I encountered during our stay was so nice. We ate at Rank and File, Double Down Grill and Viewpoint, played Bingo (didn't win and I played twice) and gambled a bit (didn't win either). So let me tell you about our experience with Bingo. They did not have enough people taking food orders and so many people were annoyed including us. We didn't have dinner because we already planned to eat the chicken wings and soup from Double Down Grill and had to just suck it up and "survive" on drinks. We were able to finally order close to the end of the game and didn't get our order until after the game. We felt bad for the server but she was still so nice. This was also the case the second time I played but we got our food right in the middle of the game. The chicken wings is not the same anymore and we were disappointed. We always looked forward to it when we played bingo and it's not as good anymore. I also had a pedicure appointment before we checked in. You can leave your luggage in the concierge area while you go to your appointment. You get access to the amenities in the spa (dry and wet sauna), jacuzzi, lounge and showers. I booked my appointment with Lily. She always takes care of me and she is my girl. I recommend her 100%! Only one of the pools were open but it was pretty cold the whole time we were there, so we didn't really use it. Also, please note that the bigger pool and lazy river will be closed until after memorial day. Sycuan is my favorite casino resort and I will always recommend it. Good luck and have fun if you go!

I had a great time at the casino! The staff was very friendly and I loved all the machines! I won $600! It was a cute old casino. I went to one of the bars and had a burger. That was really delicious!

My review is for the Casino only. The casino is larger than it looks and upon entering was pretty clean and modern. It was nice that they featured a smoke-free area as not everyone enjoys the smell of nicotine. They offered a decent selection of slot machines but were a little light on the table games. We did find some blackjack and roulette tables to play on but it would have been nice to have a greater selection to choose from. We can't complain too much about our experience as my son won some good $$'s and treated the family the next day.

A nice casino that definitely requires us to come back. A local recommendation landed us at their doorstep and according to the insiders there is good food and live music to be enjoyed

I've been playing Texas Hold'em for the last 20 years here in Southern California approximately 2-3 times a week. I have to say Sycuans poker room has the worst unexperienced dealers (Kevin) is one of them. In regards to the Floor (David) supervisor today allowed more of a regular to this casino literally cuss out the rest of the players stating "Fuck you all" very aggressively making everyone feel very uncomfortable and David did not do or say anything about it. Kevin the dealer purposely mucked a newer player to this casinos hand being the big blind where the player did not even know he was dealt hands (Kevin did it purposely to favor the regular) which was the wife of the man that cussed out the table. They allowed this wife and husband control the table and games by allowing what they say overruled everything. They called a break, so majority of the players left to break and discovered this was not the break and literally started playing when players were losing chips not knowing the tournament was playing. They changed the times, rebuys, add Ons. The dealers didn't know simple math to give change in a hand. Horrible experiences every time I have visited this casino!!!! So horrible!!!

Hotel rooms are clean and nice and quiet. The staff in the hotel, restaurants, Starbucks, and casino were all so friendly and nice. Surprisingly we got to check in early. Reason for on 3 stars is the pool staff. They are horrible. You shouldn't have to flag a server down multiple times. They are good at ignoring you and acting like your an inconvenience. Reggae Sunday is my fav. I look forward to it every year. Disappointing to have such bad service at the pool and so good everyplace else.

Make sure you don't stay late in the Casino, at check in the don't tell you that there is no late check out on Sunday and they come knocking at 10am to kick you out, I guess it doesn't matter how much you spend in the Casino and bar and restaurant

Food was not bad for resort food. We got the fish tacos and it tasted very fresh. Service was also great. We ordered at the bar and we even forgot to pay once since they knew we were drinking and having a good time so they just came up to us later at the end of the day. Ambiance was not bad. It started filling up around 11. For those who didn't book a day bed or cabana, I would recommend to come early in the weekend like 10 at least to grab a chair you want.

Super friendly staff in all areas from the moment you ck in to restaurants. Pool people however need a bit more training the waitstaff kept walking by me never asked in 2 days if I wanted to order I walked up to the bar got my drinks. Food great in the places I tried. Slots much better than other casinos I wish they had .40 & .50 minimum ones instead of .starting @ 88 .,75 but you play a while because you win more times then other casinos. Idea open cantina Tuesdays for Taco Tuesday. All you can eat crab delicious. One thing needs to change the room door it's so hard to open I tried for many minutes 8 times, 15 times very hard. Bed comfy - tv has a guide but no mentions of what the shows are just a channel guide. I would stay again!

This casino used to have a buffet, but it was discontinued after the pandemic, so I hadn't been here in a long time. This time, I came for an event at a Mexican restaurant. The restaurant was beautifully decorated, but the food was just average. The drinks were great, though. The casino was crowded and bustling--perfect for some light gambling to enjoy the atmosphere.

Had a staycation with the hubby and we had a great time! Started off by checking in at the hotel. What a beautiful room. Had a slight view of the pool. Room was large enough, clean and they definitely take pride in making it look new. We then went down to the pool area where we chilled for an hour in their lazy river. So much fun! Towels were readily available for guests. Afterwards we went to Suerte and had a couple of drinks and then straight to Rank and File for dinner. One thing I don't like about the casino is that the smoke is super strong. To the point where I had a major headache and had to call it a night. I definitely recommend this place for a staycation!

An Excellent Multi-Purpose Venue to Eat, Gamble, Party AND Flirt In! :D SITREP I have had some wonderful experiences for a few different events here @ Sycuan. They are my favorite Casino Resort south of the Mason-Dixon Line! (IF California actually HAD a Mason-Dixon Line, so let's just say south of Fresno, okay?) :D Props to my muse, San Diego Yelper Extraordinaire Karen N., for guiding me on all my Sycuan adventures! :D THE SETUP This is (KINDA) a place where you can say you have visited "The High Sierra", as if you're in an old Spaghetti Western during the John Wayne or Clint Eastwood days: the local environment is that beautiful in it's own cultivated rustic way. The Casino was there first, but there has been a LOT of added energy there now since the Resort Hotel part of complex came into being. With that came some massive renovations that have led to glorious restaurants and spectacular ballrooms! RESTAURANTS: RANK & FILE! It was at the massively delicious retaurant Rank & File that we got to eat delicious cheeseburgers while participating in the fun 105.3 ROCK radio show broadcasting live from the restaurant. We got to meet and mingle with the morning show hosts and just have fun nibbling on all sorts of appetizers! BALLROOMS: COSTUME PARTIES! The Sycuan Ballroom is quite expansive and with the beautiful adjoining outdoor patio, really features a venue with a LOT of room for a large crowd of costumed revelers. The casino also featured THREE (3) separate bar locations within the confines of the ballroom so that we could enjoy getting a drink without getting old. THE LOWDOWN Definitely make Sycuan a stop on your itinerary for all sorts of fun. Better yet, if you have an offic]e or other social function you need to host, the Casino-Resort makes a PERFECT venue where you can party-hearty AND crash in your hotel room all within walking (safe stumbling? ;) ] distance!

finally came here!! nice workers except one insanely nasty bartender. i came on my bday and apparently i made a sycuan account years ago and have never used it so they were supposed to give me presents but didnt. average age of people here is 77. went to play bingo. its really hard to win with a huge amount of people. $9 jack n coke is decent. better than $40 in las vegas. this is in the middle of nowhere so ya id like to come back but it took me 2 hours to get here!

If you ever need a pick me up from the bar, go find Kelly. She's a godsend. Her cheerful boisterous energy will have you forget how much you invested in the slots and tables. She taught me that tequila is both a downer and an upper and now I can self-inebriate with greater knowledge and purpose. Before I journey through the slot floor to collect the social security I'll never receive, I seek her out for a lucky libation. She's off Thursday and Friday, but on Mondays and Tuesdays she's at the Viewpoint Bar, and all other days her aura is illuminated at the Crystal Bar just up the wide staircase and to the right. She works regular first shift hours and the lovely servers know her well. My favorite thing about her is that I can order by saying "what would you recommend for dealing with neck pain" and she lights up ready to create. The remedy was a Bombay Sapphire top off with sprite, club soda, and pineapple, and it was a lot more fun to consume compared to regular painkillers. She introduced me to the Perfect Manhattan, and so eloquently sold me on it that I was ready to subscribe. You can really tell she takes her craft seriously. On top of all that her greatest skill is genuinely making you feel like a regular even on your first drink. I've only known her 3 months now and it definitely feels like we were pirates in a past life. I imagine it's hard dealing with the energy of people gambling, drinking, resupplying, and the occasional long list of frenetic chicken scratch from busy servers that somehow translates to "2 redbulls 2 marlboro gold", but she really keeps it together. The entire staff handles it all pretty well with all the processes of using comps, special amenities, and finding that one player who ordered and said "I'll wait right here" only to vanish into thin air. I say this as a regular with over 20 years of gambling experience that started at Sycuan. Only bad thing is getting gas there is like going to war on Black Friday. As for everything else, always use your players card to get comps so you can try all the food places. The more action your card gets, the more events and hotel offers and discounts you'll receive. They go big with tournaments with fun themes and great food. The 4th of July fireworks show was quite the spectacle. When you play, if you think like a loser then you'll be one. Scared money don't make money. Always tip well and the luck will come around.
