    Indian Casino in San Diego Opening May 18th

    https://www.10news.com/news/coronavi...rus-newsletter

    Viejas casino in Alpine will re-open May 18th. Guest required to wear masks and get temperature checked at entry.
    The interesting kicker is they are closing from 3am to 7am for deep cleaning.... wonder how that will play out...

    That's too far for me still. I prefer Pala, Pachanga, and Valley View.

    Pala and Pachange are nicer. Although I haven't been to Viejas since they added the hotel to see what it looks like.

    You in the orange county or riverside county area?

    Indian casinos in upstate NY need to open. These counties have had very few new infections recently and zero new hospitalizations.

    Cuomo needs to do regional reopening

    Like Valley View myself. Last time I drove out there a few weeks before the Virus news started, i encountered two separate car accidents....the universe was giving me a warning.

    Good to know. Thank you.
    Hopefully the Northern California ones start opening up.

    The ones who open first will be able to remain solvent.

    The biggest issue could be the second hand smoke being recirculated through the air conditioning system.

    how are people going to smoke when you're required to wear a mask?

    I've visited all of them. Viejas and Sycuan were my favorites. I lived in San Diego from 2000 - 2003. I visited Pala the second day it was open. I was at Pauma the day card craps were introduced in California. Great blackjack rules at Pauma and Valley View back then.

    Wasn't paying that close attention to that presser though.

    Most of the Indian casinos are 'card friendly' and give you a great game.
    I'm an hour away from Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun, love them both, especially Mohegan Sun.
    Mohegan Sun was voted second best brick and mortar casino in the country and for good reason.

    When I lived in SD, Barona was my favorite for the "San Diego" casinos. It was definitely the nicest. The hotel was better. Buffet was great. In the poker room they gave comp food without questioning it. For the Temecula region Pechanga and Pala are greeat.

    Been playing poker there since I was 16.

    Is it just me but it seems every time a plan for opening up businesses or opening up a state is announced, some so called study from Washington or somewhere that seems like a ridiculous worst case senario planning shows up claiming many thousands will be lost if we dont stay locked down.

    I'm not notorious for seeing both sides of the coin, usually I have one opinion and I stick to it, however.......

    I see the business end of it where the owners (bosses, powers that be, etc. etc.) want and need to be open and in a sense you can't blame them, and yet on the other side you have health officials and government types (what have you) trying to ensure this problem doesn't fester.

    My take?
    I would like to see a vaccine for this virus, but if you must open, be uber safe about it, do it in small waves, and closely monitor what's going on.

    Sorry if I sounded like Captain Wishy Washy there.

    Lockdowns actually slow down the public immunity. Vaccines take a year or two of testing. You have to weigh the risk reward. Florida seemed to handle it well. Social distancing didn't help Debi Mazar (loved her in Goodfellows).

    The first time I drove to Barona I freaked out observing the crosses on the side of the winding road there. That road was just to dangerous for me. Sycuan and Pala's roads are no picnic either.
    I agree the all things considered Barona is the best .
