In January 2018, Sycuan Casino said it would look to fill more than 700 new jobs as part of this expansion. Those high-end spots are the Bull & Bourbon steakhouse, the cocktail bar Rank & File and Viewpoint, located poolside. The expansion also features three new upscale dining and drinking venues overseen by Las Vegas-based Clique Hospitality, a group that operates swanky San Diego spots Lionfish, Oxford Social Club and The Pool House at the Pendry in downtown’s Gaslamp Quarter. Sycuan recently announced the property would also feature a host of new restaurants, including homegrown favorites like Hodad's, Phil's BBQ and Lucha Libre Gourmet Taco Shop.
Sycuan Casino in El Cajon has been undergoing a $226 million expansion project of its 12-story hotel and resort.
