I've been coming here for several years, and this place holds some incredible memories for me. More than 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. read more

Sycuan Casino Resort - Dinner at Bull & Burbon. HONEYMOON DINNER - Casinos Near Me - El Cajon, California

My boyfriend and I had such an amazing time at Sycuan for Reggae Sunday! We honestly wished the event 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. read more

Sycuan is definitely our go-to casino, and we always have such a good time whenever we come here! We recently did a little staycation here last Friday and had a great experience. We stayed in one of the suites, and the room was so spacious and comfortable. The bed was super comfy too, which made the stay even better. I also love the pool area here, especially the lazy river! It really makes it feel like more of a resort getaway instead of just a casino trip. For dinner, Bull & Bourbon is always one of our favorites -- such a good steakhouse and definitely worth checking out if you're staying here. We always have a fun time at Sycuan, whether it's just us or we're bringing family and friends along. I would 100% come back again and again! read more

Sycuan Casino Resort - Casinos Near Me - El Cajon, California

Beautiful suite but connected via adjoining doors. The couple next door were having a conversation at a normal talking volume and I could hear everything. We decided to just leave despite booking the room for my 51st birthday. I couldn't imagine being intimate in those rooms! It would almost be obscene. What a terrible design and I'll be requesting NO adjoining doors during my September stay. Also, you guys really need to fix the whole pool float situation. Nothing but a bunch of selfish people holding floats at their lounge chairs instead of returning them. Make a policy and enforce it. Then you have the dummies that wedge the tubes under their lounge chair and pop them on various sharp things underneath. Just sh1tty selfish people. Hung out for about 5 minutes at the Lazy river stairs and then just left. While we're at it...Bull and Bourbon was terrible! Sat at the bar. Beautiful bar with an incredible selection of alcohol. That's where the good ends. Inattentive staff. The woman that came in afterwards and sat next to us got bread without asking. The couple to our right...same thing. Well, they knew the woman...so, guess that's why they took care of her. Sure wasn't because she was buying anything. The couple I mentioned got water and shared lamb chops. Meanwhile, I've got to ask for bread after already ordering cocktails and Happy Hour items. Cocktails empty...waiting, waiting. More inattentiveness. Finally got a second drink. Also, as Sycuan's top restaurant, the Old Fashioned should be stirred in ice and then poured into the glass with ice cube. Duals matter the nicer a place is trying to represent itself. I ordered the bone-in ribeye...horrible steak! The bone-in aspect was two chunks of bone and one super point shard that I luckily felt and noticed in my mouth. My wife had chicken picatta that was NOT lemony at all and had more of a burnt masala taste. Just bad! It was just kinda negative experience on top of negative experience and so on. At least the hotel check in staff are always nice. Actually well done dealing with an absolute jerk of a guy that cut the line to complain about something! Sycuan kinda ruined my bday! read more

Indian casinos try to copy vegas casinos but leave out everything that makes vegas special. Sycuan tells me they wont add some freeplay to my account " because ive won too much money " over the last couple trips. Lol it should be based on your time youve played and how much youve bet on average. Its still fun to play there i try not to go on weekends due to crowds . read more

My stay was decent, the room was decent. The service at the pools is bad, we ordered and the girl completely forgot, had to remind her and even then she didn't make the drinks. We really wanted to drink at the pool but since service was so bad we ended up drinking in our room with our service lol. The restaurant lobster was so good, the meat was badly cooked and not good. The margaritas are tasty and strong. Stay away from the nachos! lol. Played on the slots a little but sucks that bingo ends at 8/9pm :( read more

Some of the girly pops and I came in to chill on a Sunday afternoon and it was really nice. The pools were pretty shallow, like up to your ribs. So it's nice to just chill there, but it's not a real swimming pool. There's a cool little bar that you can sit at while still being in the water. And the lazy river was fun, too! read more

BAD BINGO REVIEW If you think bingo is quiet, slow, and borderline funeral energy... you haven't been to Sycuan Casino Resort for BAD Bingo (Bingo After Dark). This is not dauber bingo. This is adrenaline bingo. We're talking quick 1.5-hour sessions-no dragging, no zoning out. Buy-in ranges from $20-$60, with Level I jackpots at $250 and Level II at $500. And here's the kicker: no daubers needed. You're on a desktop screen or portable bingo machine, so the system tracks everything. That means less stressing, more vibing. And the vibe? Unmatched. Music is playing, but it doesn't overpower-it elevates. The room is full of laughter, people celebrating birthdays, couples on dates, solo players locked in, elders having the time of their lives. It's loud in the best way. Social. Electric. You can actually enjoy yourself instead of sitting there in silence like you're at a wake. Between games? That's where it gets wild. Creative mini-contests that feel like game-show energy-extra chances to win money, and honestly, just as fun as the bingo itself. Need-to-know details: It gets cold-bring a layer It's a smoking casino, so expect some residual smoke (though no active smoking during BAD Bingo) *Free self-serve soda (Coke products) *Snack bar upstairs, but the non-smoking café has better options-and you can bring that food in *You can bring your own snacks... just not your own alcohol On big theme nights, there's a free 360 photo booth (tip your attendant) Also-don't get it twisted. Even though the computer does the heavy lifting, there are still interactive features that keep you engaged. You're not just sitting there-you're in it. Bottom line: This is bingo reimagined. Fast, fun, social, and actually worth the money. If traditional bingo is a whisper... BAD Bingo is a whole damn party. read more

We had come for a mini Bachelorette, we booked a cabana at the pool and a room for after the party, being locals even after the fun at the pool everyone decided that they would just go home after dinner. I had packed to stay but was one of those who wanted to just go home but because my husband was away in Hemet with our dog I decided that I'd take my friends suggestion and stay. Originally there would have been more than just me staying so we had opted for a room with two beds. I ended up sleeping on the bed closest to the AC. The room had complimentary waters but I had brought a pack and snacks for our "after pool party." just in case we needed more. The room itself is super spacious even with all of us in it meaning 8 people there was still so much room. The blackout blinds were truly black outty and the bathroom was really large and perfect for just me. The shower had good water pressure and made me feel nice and relaxed after hours in the sun. I brought my own blanket but didn't really need it the pillows were comfy even though I hoarded them from both beds, would definitely stay in room again. I felt safe on my own and just had the best time sleeping in AC. read more

My experience at the Retreat swim-up pool on Friday, 8/21, was unfortunately not what I expected. When you go to a swim-up bar, especially at a resort, you expect at minimum a friendly and welcoming bartender. Unfortunately, that was not our experience with Mabel. When we first swam up, we asked if we could also order food. Her reaction made me feel as though the question itself was an inconvenience, but I brushed it off. We were also told the frozen drinks were unavailable for the entire day. My friend ordered hers on the rocks instead, and for the price she was charged, she expected to actually taste the alcohol, but unfortunately, she could not taste it. The service itself was the biggest issue. Mabel knew we were together, yet she took my friend's order and began making her drink. Before she started, I asked if I could order as well. She barely responded with a "yeah" and continued making my friend's drink. She didn't take my order until after my friend's drink was completely finished, the bill had been printed, and my friend had signed it. My friend asked Mabel, again, if I could order, It created an unnecessary delay when she could have simply taken both orders together. When she finally took my order, I went to retrieve our phones. I came back and my bill had arrived, but my beer had not. My food came and Mabel was only about three feet away, yet I had to wave to get her attention just to remind her about my drink. At no point did she check on us or ask if everything was okay, despite being right there. I also noticed two other women swim up after us. Mabel didn't acknowledge them for quite some time. She eventually approached them and asked, "What can I get for you?" They had to ask for a menu because one had never been offered to them. The overall impression was that Mabel simply did not want to be there. There was very little warmth, engagement, or basic hospitality, and it was noticeable enough that I found myself paying attention to how she interacted with other guests as well. The swim-up pool is supposed to be a fun, relaxed, lively environment where guests are there to enjoy themselves. I'm not expecting a bartender to entertain us, but I do expect basic friendliness, attentiveness, and hospitality. Mabel may need additional customer-service training, or perhaps the swim-up pool simply isn't the right environment for her. Either way, this experience definitely took away from what should have been an enjoyable afternoon at the resort. I hope management takes this feedback seriously because the service at the swim-up bar can have a big impact on the overall guest experience. read more

Apparently they can't make piña colada's at the pool because the blenders are down peak summer on a Sunday..... so we ordered them inside and now they won't let us take them outside to the pool. They won't even make an exception after paying $150 to be here for the day you would think that they would be kind enough to make a slight exception since their machines are broken, not treated within integrity or kindness 10 out of 10 would not recommend the service is horrible here. Way over priced Talked to management, Serena the pool manager is very unprofessional unkind and has a huge lack of hospitality. Front desk manager was amazing. Funny how we couldn't bring our drinks in from inside... Serena said there were 900 people so they weren't able to bring blenders out.. there is not that many people here. She also said nothing is allowed from the inside yet I saw a door dash brining pizza!!! Funny. read more

Pretty large casino in San Diego with very spacious gaming. There are a lot of tables and slots. I always come on my birthday as there is a birthday candle game if you have a players card. They also offer bingo which I still need to play. Tip on the second floor near Bingo there is a self access drink station. read more

Decided to do a day pass on a Saturday 5/2 for their resort to celebrate a friends birthday. The pool was great and wish the lazy river was a little more spacious and bigger. It wasn't too packed which was nice and we were able to enjoy the pool. The pina coladas were delicious and perfect for the warm day. The service wasn't the best when not ordering directly from the bar. To get a menu was taking forever so we decided to just order directly from the bar. I paid $50 for the day pass and thought it was worth it. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Sycuan Casino Resort - The scene at Sycuan Casino pool - Casinos Near Me - El Cajon, California

Tara and the rest of the front desk staff are great. They were all friendly and gave us plenty of recommendations. There is one non smoking area which is definitely needed. The smoking smell can be a bit much. The housekeeping apparently doesn't clean unless you ask. Didn't know this so had no housekeeping for four days. The 21 and up environment is great for adults who want to be adults without kids running around. The restaurants are decent. I would recommend Viewpoint for breakfast/brunch and dinner. The staff there during morning and night were all great. Rank and File is also a good choice for dinner. I only had soup from the Pink Buddha which was just okay. Bull and Bourbon was an absolute no for me. They took our reservation at 8:30pm, my party showed up early and got seated before then. We didn't get our food until after closing which was 10pm and it was cold. They then had started throwing out their food for the night. So we felt rushed and no dessert. Our waitress claimed that we didn't get seated until 9, which was false. She came to us at 9 and it felt like we were a forgotten party. The pool is great, especially the lazy river. We got a cabana which was great to have a dedicated spot. However we were not informed beforehand that the cabana rental was over at 5pm. The pool is open until 8. Really the only part of this resort that saved this review was the front desk staff for check in/out, Tara from the front desk, Viewpoint for breakfast and dinner, Rank and File - specifically JJ, I believe that was her name. Omg and for the male bartenders at the pool, pour the damn drinks and stop flirting. I shouldn't have to wait over 5 minutes for you to pour one god damn cocktail and then half arse my $30+ Pina Colada. The female bartenders at the pool were friendly and made the drinks properly. read more

After few months, I come back Sycuan for a dinner and still find out that this casino no change after got a lot of bad reviews from players. That means they never care about you, how your experience here.... I stopped on Friday night, just tried to play a machine and look what I get. I put $1000 in machine, bet $3.75, after lose over $500 without any bonus or winning, the machine gave me a free game and look in the picture, with 8 free game I won $17.75. What do you think about this casino? With all my experience, people need to boycott this casino as soon as possible. I stopped by sometime to play and will show you guys more about how this casino treat playes from all machine. They have some managers or supervisors who walk around and look on you, that make me feel uncomfortable when I play here. Seriously I never see any casino do that with players. Unprofessional, unfriendly. I took my friend came here before and they opened a member card, they did not come back to play but they still have promotion like gas, gift, dinning credit, free play. I became a member for longtime, before stopped come here for few months, I came and played sometime but never get any promotion from this casino anymore. Ridiculous! How the policy they promote to players? That is very bad customer service. read more

I absolutely love Sycuan and come here often with both friends and family. The casino has great food, drinks, and an overall fun atmosphere, and I've always had a wonderful time here. This review is specifically about the pool area, particularly the swim-up bar. The pool has become my favorite staycation spot, and I genuinely love the food, music, drinks, and overall vibe. Up until this visit, I had never had an issue with any of the staff. Unfortunately, my friend and I had a very negative experience with one of the bartenders at the swim-up bar. We sat patiently for about 35 minutes waiting to be helped. During that time, the bartender was primarily serving one side of the bar as well as guests swimming up directly to him, while our side was consistently overlooked. A nearby group even mentioned that he would be coming to our side shortly, and he confirmed that he would. However, when he finally came over, he skipped past us and helped a couple who had just swum up to the bar. My friend calmly said, "We just wanted to let you know we've been waiting for about 35 minutes." In response, he sarcastically said, "You and everybody else... feel free to go to another bar." My friend awkwardly laughed and said, "Okay, okay." What was most upsetting was that after serving another couple nearby, the bartender referred to my friend as "bitchy" while speaking to them. We were honestly shocked. It was incredibly rude, unprofessional, and offensive, especially considering my friend had spoken respectfully and calmly the entire time. I have visited Sycuan many times and have always received excellent service, which is why this experience stood out so much. I hope management addresses this situation so that other guests do not have a similar experience. The bartender's name was Martin. I still love Sycuan and will continue visiting, but I wanted to share this experience because it did not reflect the level of hospitality I've come to expect from this resort. read more

Sycuan Casino Resort - chicken tacos & chicken tenders - Casinos Near Me - El Cajon, California

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! read more

I am very disappointed with the customer service just to do a reservation for our room due to it was My Husband's account. She demanded that My Husband spoke before I made my reservation. This had never happened to me before I have made plenty of reservations before so I was very surprised I went ahead and called back and representative name Elizabeth answered on the other line and made my reservation with no questions asked without a problem then I decided to make another reservation for September 27 and then Chantelle answer again I asked for a reservation she said we have no suites for that night she asked for my husband and I said I'm not putting him on the phone and she hung up on me immediately. I called back 6 times first time she picked up and hung up on me I called another 5 more times no answer Then my husband called with his phone and a Janine (supervisor she said ) made our reservation in a SUITE But 3 minutes before the Chantelle representative said they had NO SUITES .... Why ? Why would I get treated by her like this ? She was rude and had no excuse to treat a customer like this I'm so disgusted with her actions Treat people the way you want to be treated Don't do things to people that you don't want them to to do to you I'm very disappointed with her attitude totally disrespectful and disgusting I'm very disappointed with her customer service WHY would she lie about no suites being available that day SO SO RUDE read more

Sycuan Casino is truly a gem. Its my second time coming. I needed the much needed relaxation and mini vacay. Such a beautiful place. Everyone is so friendly and the best part the food, gelato and lazy river. Wow...loved it. Almost slept thru the whole ride on the lazy river. I truly recommend. For me the con is 2.5 hrs away but worth the drive. I will continue to come during my breaks regardless of the distance. Another con is the smoking atmosphere which sometimes get too overwhelming. If Sycuan would be a non smoking casino resort it would be much more amazing. read more

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.

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Avoid if you have a disability First and last time at Sycuan. I brought my brother who is paralyzed and needs full assistance, and the experience was a joke. At the time there were zero other cars in valet, yet two employees swarmed my car before I could even get out just to tell me nope because of a tier policy. I needed to valet just to be able to help my brother get inside safely, but they didn't care. It is ridiculous to expect me to leave him alone at the curb while I go hunt for a spot, especially when the handicap spaces in the structure are a massive trek from the door. We felt like a total burden to the staff and were not made to feel welcome at all. Terrible first impression, Definitely won't be back. read more

Overall, this is a pretty nice casino. It's big with a good variety of games and tables. The win/lose ratio seems pretty fair. They offer a lot of freebies to their players. I have yet to stay at the hotel or try out the pool, but I've heard they're nice. Maybe I will sometime and give an updated review. read more

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!! read more

Very nice casino. The only draw is its is a smoked out casino. There was one are that was smoke free and thats the poker room. If it wasn't for the smoke I would rate them a 10 out 10 read more

I got a day pass for the Retreat pool a couple weeks ago. Mostly positive, loved the lazy river, the frozen pina coladas. It was Reggae Sunday so it was very chill vibe. The negatives, service. Service at the bar was great, but not sure what Sycuan is thinking, other than being greedy to save hrs, having just 1 lonely bartender at the main pool bar until like 12 noon or so. The poor young woman was doing her best but could have used help. Then when her relief showed up they took their sweet time getting set up. Seed more concerned with socializing than working. Your cocktail waitresses actually go out of their way to ignore you and that seems to be a common theme with them. People were trying to waive them down only to be ignored. That said I will go back but will probably eat and drink in the casino before hand read more

We came out here for our anniversary and needless to say we are very disappointed!!! I totally agree with everyone else that says the machines DO NOT pay! We stopped at Viejas before we checked in here and they are a lot better! I did not see any hand pays at all the whole time we were here. The food was not great - we have had better food at other casinos. I ordered wings at the pool and the one I bit into was cold! How can it be cold? If it's a fried wing, I don't understand. I took them back to the counter and complained. They apparently talked to the chef and were told that it was cooked and it was good. There's no way that could be true. Who in their right mind would eat a chicken wing that is cold inside. My best guess is it was not fully cooked. If we ever come back it would be just for the pool day use if at all. Very disappointing trip! read more

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. read more

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. read more
