A long drive from San Diego
Sunday, January 15, 2006
One of San Diego County’s newest gaming venues, Golden Acorn Casino, is located one hour east of downtown San Diego, right off Interstate 8 at the Crestwood exit. The drive takes you from an urban atmosphere to a panorama of beautiful valleys and majestic mountains. The scenery is definitely a plus to your trip but the drive is quite long.
The parking is huge and I don't think I've ever seen it full. Walking in, you usually don't find many patrons. They do offer a restaurant, but typical of what you find in Vegas, the restaurant is not inexpensive. It's the same price as any restaurant and no good deals to be found.
