Being a tourist in downtown San Diego is like nothing else. Living like the locals live, knowing where the good spots are and seeing what the region has to offer makes for a fully balanced vacation. To experience all you can from a vacation means exploring. After you’ve taken in the awe-inspiring sights and delicious culinary tastes that make San Diego a truly unique crossroads of cultures, consider taking a scenic drive, just past the world-famous San Diego Zoo Safari Park (stop by there, too!), and check out Valley Center. A 45-minute drive away, it allows you to get the full Southern California experience.
While you should take your time in the outer parts of San Diego, be sure to make one destination Valley View Casino and Hotel, often considered one of the prime locations for “stay-cations” among San Diegans. Now it’s time to have all your favorite things in one location, take in the beauty of the region while being pampered, entertained and potentially win a jackpot! Valley View Casino has all the standard casino amenities, built out into a one-stop shop for all your leisure needs. You can plan a full, unforgettable and endlessly rewarding day at our casino. Read on below to find out how.
Play the Slots! It’s Your Lucky Day!
Don’t just take our word for it—even the Southern California Game Guide declared us the “Luckiest Casino!” One of the reasons we have the best slot machines in the region is that visitors have more chances to win big. As a guest review from Jamie K. states, “I feel like I win more at Valley View than anywhere else.”
An Award-Winning Foodie Paradise
No day of fun is complete without delicious eats. At Valley View Casino, be pampered with one of our nine world-class dining options, including those that won the prestigious James Beard Award. Our award-winning dining is one of the many aspects that sets our casino apart as a vacation destination.
Southern California is known for its seafood options. Naturally, our casino includes some of the best. Literally—our Maine Lobster Buffet was voted California’s Best. Enjoy all-you-can-eat lobster tails, Asian delicacies, pasta, dessert and more.
Enjoy breakfast, brunch or lunch with some gorgeous Palomar Mountain views at The Café. It’s open from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. every day, so you can start your Valley View Casino day with our signature Belgian waffle. The seafood theme continues here. Try the pan-seared salmon or order a cup of clam chowder. This area is also very well known for its Asian cuisine and you can enjoy that here too, with classics like wonton soup, pad Thai, lo mein and Kung Pao shrimp.
Black&Blue Steakhouse is your way of experiencing San Diego’s best surf and turf. Indulge in lobster tail or filet mignon, and save room for delectable desserts. Not to mention the incredible service, including the bartenders who will make you the greatest craft cocktails. Adding to the one-of-a-kind experience is the gorgeous saltwater aquarium.
See why our steakhouse won the 1st place Best Fine Dining award two years in a row. And why, in 2019, it was named the Best Overall Restaurant by the Top 10 Diners’ Choice Awards. It’s a great place for a special occasion. It’s also just nice to treat yourself to fine dining. Just make sure to make a reservation ahead of time.
Feeling more of a classic, casual American dining, with a modern twist? We have that too, at Patties & Pints. Don’t feel like a sit-down meal? We also have grab-and-go options at the Corner Market. And stop by Snax, Sweets or Stix!
