Going to be in S.D for about 6 days starting on Superbowl Sunday...What is the best Casino in the area? and how far a drive is it from Downtown were I will be staying/ (Marriott Hotel and Marina) I will have no car.

Also can you recommend some Dining Suggestions as well?

Thanks in Advance G.

Viejas is the best. It's about an hour east of San Diego.

They have free buses:

As for food, Donovan's steakhouse is a great place, downtown, Gaslamp district...which is a cool place to hang out.

The Marriott is nice...right next to it is the Hyatt, which has a great bar on the top floor with a perfect view of SD/the bay. Good place for drinks.

Enjoy, love SD !!

stay away from the gas lamp district at night, it is fun and there is some good restaurants but over priced and too many college kids. during the day is the best time to go there, you are staying in a really nice spot it is not far from the water at all. you are about 40min away from any casino, some good local indian casino are barona, pala, harrahs, the palomar is an ok one but it is close to your hotel.

I like Barona a little bit better than Viejas. I'm sure they all have buses to pick you up at a certain location. Harrah's is pretty nice and they have buses picking up from everywhere in SD.

Although Donovan's is great, it might be a little pricey for you. I'd try Tom Hamm's Lighthouse on Shelter Island, or if you like seafood, Anthony's Seafood Groto right on the bay.

Funny, you're coming down here for the SB, and I'm leaving here for Vegas for the SB.
