The ice cubes are made from iced tea which means when the cubes melt, it doesn’t water down your tea. If you don’t drink alcohol, start with one of their decadent house special iced teas ($). 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. My friends and I visited Valley View Casino out in Escondido a little over a month ago.
