Our server was a sweet gal who was very patient with us as we took our time deciding what we wanted to order. I loved the aquarium which runs alongside the restaurant from the bar into the restaurant which is decorated in dark mahogany hues. When the time came to step out, we made our way through the jam-packed casino and to Black & Blue restaurant, the casino’s fine dining establishment. I also wished I had known about the fantastic pool they had, I would’ve brought a bathing suit. The balcony offered a view of the mountains. There is also a large shower and two sink vanity so you’re not fighting for space with your partner or whoever is sharing your room. The living room is separated by a door into the bedroom, complete with a bathtub outside of the bathroom. The living room was large enough to entertain friends (so I invited mine over to share in the wealth) with a dining room table. When we arrived, we swiftly checked into our rooms to chill before embarking on our dining experience for the night. None of us are real gamblers so we didn’t actually hang out at the casino until later in the evening. We will definitely come back again, on our future travels.My friends and I visited Valley View Casino out in Escondido a little over a month ago. The experience was very enjoyable because the food was really great, and I think it would have been even better had we been able to dine-in, but we understand that this was the situation during these challenging times. We got the filet Mignon and the ribeye which were on the pricier side, however these were cooked to perfection (“melt in your mouth” kind of perfection), some of the best steaks we’ve ever had (and we like to try out steakhouses so we know what to hold them up against). That likely took a little from the experience(it was very hot outside and they had some large water-cooled fans (which didn’t seem the most sanitary), but you could tell that the restaurant and staff were making the best out of this challenging situation, and were professional and as accommodating as they could be.

Some good friends recommended the restaurant (they praised the steaks), so we were glad to hear that they did offer a dine-out patio option during these times (COVID-19).

We stopped on our way to Los Angeles, and we used the nearby Tesla supercharger.
