Hotel: While the two current hotel towers aren’t skyhigh, they’re not short on refined amenities. The property’s expansion will bring an Asian concept restaurant and an upscale dining venue. You won’t be drinking on an empty stomach though: the buffet options are also seemingly endless, with scores of distinctive choices, such as charcuterie boards, fresh-pressed paninis, a giant seafood selection and a cheesecake bar with three rotating flavors a month. Guests are allowed to bring two drinks each onto the casino floor. Bottomless beer, wine sparkling wine, are included in the price on weekends, endless margaritas and Bloody Marys are also served. No one else has that,” said Tony Canicosa, the director of food and beverage. “The buffet is one of the main features at Viejas … and one of the biggest features is the unlimited beverages. But for many visitors, it’s all about the 550-seat buffet.

Dining: In addition to the sumptuously styled, AAA 4-Diamond awarded Grove Steakhouse - offering caviar service, steakhouse classics and adventurous dishes like a game trio of venison, elk and wild boar - Viejas has a 24-hour café serving everything from breakfast to burgers, and the North of the Border taco shop.
