It was scheduled for opening summer 2016. I was driving by it this week and it looks at least 2 months out.
Hollywood Casino in Jamul, San Diego
While the casino building/parking areas look finished, the surrounding highway/road improvement projects appear to have a ways to go.
This past week a new ‘traffic’ light at the intersection that leads to the short road to the ‘Jamul Indian Village’ (JIV) is supposed to be complete. However, the 2 lane highway is supposed to have ‘road improvements’ to accomodate the expected larger traffic volume/ many construction barriers along the roadway, but nowhere close to being completed.
I agree with your assessments - and with public/local Jamul community against the project, it may even have ‘protestors’ during any sort of ‘soft opening’.
No date(s) advertised anywhere. All billboard and bus/trolley public TV ads still read “Premiering soon”.
Orig open date was ‘end of summer 2016’. I’d guess either a 'soft ’ opening (unannounced), or perhaps a more ‘grand’ opening when they are ready, in the early Fall months towards Oct/November.
I can’t even find any ‘news’ when doing a search on Penn Gaming news (the investors behind the project).
