The hills are covered with avocado and orange trees.as you drive through the valley you have the feeling that you have stepped back in time. The drive to Valley View Hotel and Casino takes you through some of the most beautiful countryside in southern California. All I did to wait around was down a bottle of baileys to calm down my hunger. Do NOT play at Valley View! I didnt really play the machines but my co-workers did and they all had tough luck.

Valley view does NOT have a poker room and thats all I play since I dont trust those machines. What else are you going to do in a casino but gamble? TIP: If you are headed down this way, I suggest you sign up for the players club at Valley View if you havent already and then go to another casino like Pala where they have a poker room. SO AWESOME!!! This is how they get you: you sign up for the player's club and you get a dinner reservation for a FREE buffet!!!! Here is the catch: the reservation is 3-4 hours later so you are find of forced to wait around.

I ate 3 lobsters, prime rib (succulent and tender!), mac and cheese (thick and deliciously creamy), sweet potato fries (crispy and soft inside!), creamed spinach, garlic alfredo pasta, candied yams, creme brûlée, pumpkin pie and chocolate fountain pretzel.

There werent that many items but the quality and taste of the food was superb.
