This was my first stay and I’ll be coming back. Viejas is now an amazing gem and makes me proud to be originally from SD. Visited for one night and paid ~$130 all in. When you arrive I’d ask for a room overlooking the pool. The drive is fine though, compared to driving the dangerous twists and turns to other casinos deep in the mountains. It’s a 45 min drive from the SAN airport in Alpine. Other tips: As you likely know, Viejas is on gorgeous, boulder-studded, arid tribal land. I’d pay good money for Native American-inspired organic products! They offer Viejas branded toiletries but could probably work with a higher-end company to design unique products to match their aesthetic.

They could up their toiletries game though. I love the soothing colors they chose for their decor. There was ice skating at the outlets across the street and an amazing buffet that cost roughly $25 per person factoring in a discount for signing up for a players card.Ĭleanliness: it was a very modern, clean room with a nice glass shower. There’s a lot to do and see in SoCal and I’m not a casino or Vegas connoisseur but this is a lovely getaway spot, even for families. They obviously hired a great design firm and are stewarding this property and it’s service expertly.
