Where Is Jamul Casino Resort, and What Is There? A Visitor Overview

The Address and the Drive From Downtown San Diego

Where is Jamul Casino Resort, exactly? Type 14145 Campo Road, Jamul, CA 91935 into a navigation app: that is the full Jamul Casino address. The resort answers the phone on +1 619-315-2250.

The Jamul Casino location is some 32 km (20 miles) out of downtown San Diego, eastbound on SR-94, a drive the resort puts at roughly 20 minutes. Parking and valet are both free; valet hours as of 2 November 2026 are 8:00–2:00 for the casino and 7:00–2:00 for the hotel, and the car park holds about 350 vehicles.

From San Diego Airport, by Bus or by Rideshare

Flying in? San Diego International Airport (SAN) is about 38 km (24 miles) away, a drive of around 34 minutes when the roads are clear, by a route calculation.

Rideshare is the simplest option without a car, and it pays: Sweetwater Rewards members who come by Uber or Lyft qualify for up to US$15 of free slot play (promotion as of 2 November 2026) when the ride covers at least 10 miles (about 16 km) and the receipt is shown within 4 hours.

A bus to Jamul Casino is possible on weekdays. MTS Rural Route 894 links El Cajon Transit Center with Morena Village Monday to Friday, three or four runs in each direction (timetable in force since 1 October 2026), with a timepoint at Jamul (AM/PM Mini Mart). As for a Jamul Casino shuttle, the resort's website does not list one, so the bus, a rideshare or a rental car are the ways in.

Drivers should note two rules: anything taller than 7 ft (about 2.1 m) is turned away while construction continues, and RVs cannot stay overnight.

The Hotel That Opened in August 2025

Does Jamul Casino have a hotel? Yes, since August 2025. Anyone still asking when will Jamul Casino hotel open can stop waiting: the 16-floor tower opened that month, and the property became Jamul Casino Resort.

Inside: 200 rooms, among them 52 suites and a penthouse, under a AAA Four Diamond designation. Jamul Casino hotel rooms start with the Classic King at 420 sq ft (about 39 m²) and the Classic Double Queen, continue with the Sunrise Suite at 870 sq ft (about 81 m²) and the Sunset and Mountain View suites, and top out with the 1,140 sq ft Panoramic Suite (about 106 m²). Lights, curtains and climate respond to voice control.

The hotel is 21+, like the casino: guests under 21 cannot stay, even with adults.

Room Rates and Other Prices in US Dollars

How much are rooms at Jamul Casino? Rates vary by date and are set through the resort's reservations, in US dollars rather than Canadian dollars, so the booking page gives the live price for your dates.

Gaming, Poker and the Bingo Question

Bingo fans should know that the floor has no Jamul Casino bingo; the resort's FAQ says so directly.

High-limit play sits in the Signature Club on the 16th floor, open 24 hours, and in an Asian-themed high-limit table room. A smoke-free area operates from 13:00 until 04:00.

Jamul Casino poker offers cash games every day and a weekly tournament schedule, buy-ins US$25–90 plus a fee as of 2 November 2026.

Recent Changes: From the 2016 Opening to 2026

The Jamul Casino opening date was in October 2016, under the name Hollywood Casino Jamul – San Diego, with Penn National Gaming as manager. A search for a Jamul Casino grand opening can point to either of two dates: that casino opening in 2016, or the hotel opening in August 2025. In between, in 2018, the tribe took over and renamed the casino Jamul Casino.

2026 brought new leadership: August saw the announced exit of the president and general manager who had led the property since 2018, and September the appointment of its first-ever chief executive officer. October marked ten years since the casino floor opened, with more than a million dollars in cash, free play and prizes. As for Jamul Casino closing: no sale, closure or shutdown announcement was found as of 2 November 2026.
