Sycuan Casino Resort will commemorate its 43rd anniversary in November with $1 million in cash and prizes, an amount that includes two Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
The El Cajon, California, property will also run limited-time dining and spa offers for the entire month, in addition to a full day of activities on November 21.
The celebration honors more than four decades in gaming, entertainment, and hospitality. Sycuan opened as a bingo hall in 1983, later became San Diego’s first casino, and now operates as a $260 million casino resort and entertainment destination.
Slot players can win a share of $130,000 in cash and prizes through the 43rd Anniversary Hot Seat Drawings. The drawings will take place on November 6, 13, and 20, from 6 p.m. to midnight, and guests can take part while they play their favorite slot.
Viewpoint Neighborhood Kitchen will serve a two-course meal priced at $43, with a citrus dill Salmon Cake and Herbed Skirt Steak and Prawns on the menu.
At Spa Ritual, guests can book the Signature N8iV Facial for $143. The treatment draws inspiration from the sacred medicine wheel and uses acorn oil to nourish the skin.
