When it comes to planning a fun date night, think outside of the box. Instead of dinner and a movie, what about dinner and a casino night? Valley View Casino dining is some of the best San Diego has to offer. If you want to make a great first impression or celebrate a special occasion, here are five date night ideas that are a sure bet for success.
1. Dinner and Drinks
Want to go the more traditional route? Valley View Casino is the perfect spot for dinner and drinks. Whether you want to grab comfort food like a handcrafted burger or deep-dish pizza or you’re in the mood for more upscale fare, we have something to suit everyone’s tastes and budget.
In fact, Valley View Casino dining often tops the list of Southern California’s best. For two years in a row, Black&Blue Steakhouse was voted the best fine-dining restaurant in the Southern California Gaming Guide’s Reader’s Choice awards. More recently, Valley View Casino took the top spot for best casual dining.
At Black&Blue, you and your date can indulge in a three-course meal from our signature menu for just $70. Combining delicious food with superior service, we’re confident we’ll deliver a premier dining experience.
2. Game Night
Sometimes it can be fun to plan a nontraditional date night. If your date enjoys gaming or perhaps has never visited a casino before, give them a tour of Valley View Casino’s gaming floor.
Gaming is a date night experience like no other. It provides thrills and entertainment, a spirited and lively atmosphere and the opportunity to bond with both friends and strangers. Players celebrate the wins together, and even amid the losses, there’s a sense of camaraderie that can be felt through the shared experience.
Likewise, gaming can foster a connection between you and your date. If you’re both new to the gaming experience, you can learn how to play together. When you arrive, look for one of our friendly Table Games team members, who will gladly show you the ropes.
3. Bar Hopping
Are you and your date the kind of couple that likes to hop from spot to spot? If you enjoy checking out multiple bars in a single evening, Valley View Casino & Hotel has many options to choose from. Upscale Lounge? Check. Video Poker Bar? Check. Late night spot? You bet!
Our bars serve up all your favorite drinks. From draft beer to fine wine to refreshing cocktails, our mixologists craft creative concoctions that taste as good as they look.
If you’re looking for a high-end experience, check out our Blue&Black Lounge, the counterpart to the Steakhouse. Enjoy your drink of choice in a romantic setting while experiencing our breathtaking 3,300-gallon saltwater aquarium, an excellent conversation starter.
Speaking of conversation starters, our Casino Bar is located right in the middle of all the action. It’s a prime spot for people-watching as you sip on a delectable cocktail or two.
Looking for thrills and entertainment? Our Main Stage Bar is where we host many of our promotions and weekly giveaways for Players Club members. We invite you to see firsthand what we’re all about and why your first visit here likely won’t be your last.
In the mood for a draft beer? Head on over to Patties & Pints and enjoy a cold one as you take in the view from our floor-to-ceiling windows. You might also want to try one of our signature boozy shakes.
Don’t miss out on the gaming action. Play your hand at either our Market Bar or Video Poker Bar. Both feature state-of-the-art video poker games to be played at your leisure.
Whatever vibe you’re seeking—upscale or casual, lively or intimate—we have just the spot for your date night. Plus, you can score great deals when you join us on Thirsty Thursdays. Drink specials include $4 drafts, $5 wines and $6 cocktails throughout the casino at all restaurants, bars and on the casino floor.
4. Watch Party
Table games and slot machines aren’t the only games at Valley View Casino. If you and your date are sports fans, plan a watch party at our Main Stage Bar. After all, there’s no better place for Game Day than a spot that’s open morning, noon and night.
If you want to tailgate before the big game, we’ll be ready with your choice of beer, wine or cocktails. Then, when it’s time for the game to kick off, you can settle in and catch all the action on our state-of-the-art LED video wall. Stretching 18 feet, you’ll be able to watch the big plays on the big screen.
The Main Stage Bar is just the place to cheer on your favorite sports team with some good food and drinks and even better company.
Planning the perfect date night is all about sweetening the pot. So go all in for the ultimate date night experience, and odds are, you’ll leave Valley View Casino & Hotel a winner. Visit us for your date night!
