The project kicked off 18-months ago and its unveiling marks the peak of a larger casino expansion drive that has been experienced in San Diego.
With the region, there has been more than $1.5 billion invested in expansions and upgrades on some of the area’s properties like Sycuan Casino Resort, Harrah’s Resort Southern California, Viejas Casino & Resort and Pechanga Resort and Casino. The $50 Million investment on Valley View Casino & Hotel is another investment in the long chain.
Some of the features that Valley View boasts of include several dining options, a casino, a non-smoking hotel tailored for people aged over 21 years with 105 rooms and an infinity pool. The project has seen the creation of 100 new jobs which raised the number of employees in the resort up to 950.
Speaking at the unveiling ceremony, Ian Williams, Valley View Director of Hotel Operations and Player Development, said that the expansion and upgrading gave them a competitive edge in the casino industry.
‘I think it definitely positions us for the higher end – a little more upscale, a little younger.’ He continued, ‘It just sets us up to compete with any casino in Las Vegas and any casino in San Diego.’
The 18-months expansion was done by Swinerton, a construction management firm that San Pasqual Casino Development Group used for the scheme. The group, on the other hand, are the San Pasqual’s Band of Mission Indians gaming arm.

This buffet is truly incredible. I discovered Valley View Casino's buffet many years back and have been going through all of the transitions up to the current newest version, now called The Buffet, and each time I don't think they can make it better...and then they do!!
First of all, a visit to Valley View makes you feel like you are visiting old friends, even if you don't go often at all. People remember you, smile and say hello and actually remember to ask about whatever you may have talked to them about the last time you were there (even if it was month's before). Everyone from the doorman, cashiers, seaters, buffet workers and the chef is oozing with hospitality and genuine friendliness.
Then...you're seated at one of the very comfortable new booths in the room with decor and lighting and you get up to discover the buffet.... oooooh...and what a buffet it is. Endless choices of all sorts of items from fillet mignon, Asian offerings, Mexican offerings, Italian offerings, pizza bar, seafood, shrimp, crabs legs, an abundance of salads, fresh berries, pineapple, apricots, melon...and then there's the desserts... Tiramasu to die for, cakes, pies, tarts, varied flavors of ice cream to make your own cones or sundaes, freshly dipped chocolate covered strawberries -- I could go on and on. If I lived closer, I'd be in trouble as I'd go way more often.

Greet Mary and/'or Teresa at the cashier station, make sure to wave at Li behind the dessert bar, who makes sure there's not a space uncovered, get to know some of the managers (Kit, Theresa, Tony). Take your time and sample as much of the food as you can handle. But be careful, it's addicting.
