Due to the success of the newly created Bingo Room, the Viejas tribe decided to create a casino, which was opened later in 1991. In the mid-to-late 1970s, the Viejas Bingo Room was constructed on one of the park’s within this reservation. During this time, The Viejas Band of Kumeyaay Native Americans purchased the land. While the Viejas Casino and Resort didn’t open its doors to the public until 2013, it has deep roots dating as far back as the 1930s. To learn more about the award-winning Viejas Casino and Resort and why it’s become such a popular destination for events and private parties, keep reading. From birthday parties and bridal showers to corporate events, meetings, seminars and more, it’s the perfect choice for any social gathering. This place is very near to San Diego, so for a little get away, this is a must go! There are a bunch of little (little? This thing rivals anything in Vegas) tribal casinos around here.With four separate on-site venues, the Viejas Casino and Resort is California’s premiere location for private events and parties. The restaurants were beautiful and if the food is as good as it looks, you're in for a treat. However, I saw the hotel pool and it is GORGEOUS, so come stay and take a dip. I bet it is not quite so lovely in August. Of course, it is late spring so there is grass. I'm currently looking out over a huge meadow with cows in it. There are outlet stores across the street and everything is lovely. The staff at the hotel & casino were amazingly friendly and competent, the machines were laid out great. I did not get to play the quarter slots because the entire bank was lit up, but that's not the casino's fault, it is the smokers.

The casino has a HUGE area of non smoking, and the rest is not that bad.

Who doesn't like free? It is in a lot way back of the property, but there is a shuttle that runs all the time. I came here in my RV, for which they have free parking.
