Jamul Casino opens revamped high limit rooms and VIP lounge

California's Jamul Casino said Friday it has opened its newly renovated High Limit Rooms.

The re-designed space offers a larger High Limit Slot Room with a dedicated bar, a separate High Limit Asian Games room, and a private High Limit VIP lounge. The new venues are including additional security and privacy.

Mary Cheeks, President and General Manager of Jamul Casino, stated in a press release: “Jamul Casino’s new High Limit Rooms are completely custom—from the artwork, to the furniture, to the crystal chandeliers.  These elegant, airy spaces are a sanctuary of class and sophistication. We’re very proud that Jamul Casino’s High Limit Rooms rival the best in the world.”   

The San Diego casino, owned and run by the Jamul Indian Village, has designed the new rooms based on the principles of Feng Shui, to bring luck into the spaces. The High Limit Rooms face northwest and feature elements of metal with white, gold, and silver. 

As for Jamul Casino’s new 1,700 square-foot High Limit Slot Room, it features privacy walls, columns, and light fixtures containing over 26,000 multi-faceted crystals. The space is furnished with a custom-built security podium, Phillip Jeffries wallpaper, and several LED televisions with brushed gold frames. The High Limit Slot Room’s dedicated bar is backed by a life-size digital image of the exterior views from the casino, which changes to reflect the time of day. The bar top is made of a natural stone from Madagascar called Lemurian Blue Extra with Labradorite crystal, which has a peacock-like iridescence and is famed to increase positive energy and mood. Mixed media and resin panels clad the front of the bar, and the room is also equipped with Gary Platt San Remo Bar chairs.

A separate room for Asian table games offers four Baccarat tables and one Face Up Pai Gow Poker table. A focal wall mural featuring Koi fish, measuring 32 feet wide by 18 feet high, has iridescent gold backing to shimmer from different angles. The mural features a lucky eight fish swimming in an auspicious circle. Four wall sconces measuring 3 feet by 18 feet high with brushed gold frames illuminate “Beadazzled” Maya Romanoff gold glass beads wallpaper. A 12-foot, 2-tier polished silver raceway chandelier with down-washed LED-lighted crystals hangs over a custom-built 54.5-inch-wide pit stand by TCMillwork with a 3form backlit “Swept Gold” front panel. The High Limit Asian Games Room’s front façade features satin gold metal screens and crystal column wall sconces. The space is furnished with LED televisions with brushed gold frames, Gary Platt Monaco Baccarat chairs, and Phillip Jeffries wallpaper.

Finally, a private VIP lounge is available for guests of the High Limit Rooms to relax or make private phone calls. The ceiling is clad with gold mirror panels, and three LED televisions with brushed gold frames embellish the walls. The space features furnishings and decorative pieces by Jonathan Adler, Caracole, and LuxeDecor, as well as a Human Touch Gravis Zero Gravity massage chair.

Linh Ventura, Designer hired for the project, stated: “We were faced with challenges due to the supply chain shortages from aluminum to bar equipment.  But none of this stopped us.  Working with the incredible Jamul team led by Facilities Director Kaui Kalahiki, eGads, 3form, and Cell Construction, we were able to come up with outstanding solutions to keep the renovation moving without compromising quality and overall vision for this project.”

Since Jamul Casino opened in October 2016, the Jamul Indian Village has continued to invest in renovating the facility. In February 2019, Jamul Casino opened its Poker Room and has hosted some of the game’s top players. In July 2020, the casino added The Rooftop, which has become one of East County San Diego’s top destinations for weddings and events. In July 2021, the casino opened its newly renovated food court, Jamul Marketplace, featuring a centerpiece 360-degree cylindrical LED video screen—the only one of its kind in Southern California.  Just two months prior, the entire casino was furnished with new carpet.

Erica M. Pinto, Chairwoman of the Jamul Indian Village, commented: “The renovation of the High Limit Rooms is a reflection of our commitment to ensuring an exciting and memorable experience for our valued guests. I’d like to recognize our casino leadership for their efforts and look forward to many more opportunities that solidify Jamul Casino as the premier gaming destination in San Diego.”
