So, the other day I signed up at StatCounter, a site which offers free visitor tracking for websites. Why I bothered, when it doesn't seem like I bother to post here much these days, I couldn't say. I guess the thrill of learning that upwards of four people visit this site every day was just too much to pass up. Anyway, I was surprised to learn, from looking at the keywords that lead visitors to the site, that I turn up in the first page of a google search on "Sycuan Sucks." It was someone from a Sycuan server doing the search, incidentally. In the post that got me the coveted listing, I merely stated that the buffet sucks. So let me state now, taking advantage of my coveted on-line real estate, that lots of other things suck about the casino, too. Actually, the one thing about Sycuan that I really and truly loathe is the parking. Other things bug me, but if they put a little bit of money into improving the parking situation, that would improve things immensely. Beyond that, they are amongst the stingiest casinos in San Diego when it comes to comps. The double-deck blackjack game is decent, but not up to Vegas standards. But the clientele of the casino is on the sleazy side, and the employees, for the most part, aren't much better. I do go to Sycuan every once in a while, but after giving them a little more action for a month or two, and realizing that play that would get me a free room and food in Vegas woulnd't get me much beyond a crappy buffet, I just don't see a reason to go there. They do get some good acts from time to time, in an intimite setting, and the coffee shop is actually very good. But for the most part, it falls way behind both Barona and Viejas, and if it weren't for the other's terrible location, it would fall way behind Golden Acorn as well.
