Valley View Casino is connecting with guests and team members. By David Ross

California has more tribal casinos than any other state and San Diego County has more than any other county in the Golden State. At or near the top of any listing of the best casino hotels in San Diego County is Valley View Casino & Hotel, set in the small, picturesque and rural community of Valley Center. It proudly lists itself as “San Diego’s Favorite Casino.”
The resort recently completed a $50 million renovation. This small but luxurious hotel has always  been renowned for its floor-to-ceiling windows and 520-square-foot, deluxe rooms with awesome vistas of Palomar Mountain— which is often covered foot to crown with snow in winter months.

It’s been 25 years since Las Vegas unveiled its Paris-themed resort with its half-size replica (540 feet) of the Eiffel Tower, a two-thirds scale Arc de Triomphe and a Montgolfier hot-air balloon—which doubles as a marquee, and right now needs a touch up and coat of paint.

Paris-Las Vegas opened on September 1, 1999 at a time when Las Vegas was busy building themed resorts—mere months after The Venetian and a year after Bellagio. While the two others aimed more towards a convention-heavy and luxury crowd, Paris-Las Vegas targeted a mid-range clientele.

Since its opening in 1900, the Hippodrome has always pushed the boundaries, showcasing the bold, the new and the extraordinary.

Yes, Foxwoods Casino Resort is one of the world’s largest, but it’s so much more than that, as CEO Jason Guyot explains. By David McKee

It may no longer be the biggest casino in North America — Oklahoma’s Win-Star now owns that distinction — let alone the world. (That’d be Venetian Macao.) But Foxwoods Resort Casino was the first of its kind outside Las Vegas or Atlantic City, not to mention the very first Native American casino ever. And it’s still the pace car for tribal casinos across the continent. It’s not so much a pace car as an entire fleet unto itself. Sprawling and massive, Foxwoods encompasses nine million square feet, six gaming floors and a staggering number of amenities.
