The Graton Resort and Casino is on sovereign native land that isn’t subject to state or county health orders but it had come under scrutiny for the event. In Sonoma County in California’s wine country, a Native American casino announced it was canceling a planned private New Year’s Eve indoor event that could have drawn as many as 4,000 people.

Expect this place to go under in a few more years.LOS ANGELES - California’s deadly Christmas was marked by pleas to avoid holiday gatherings outside the home and indoor church services in what could be a make-or-break effort to curb a coronavirus surge that already has filled some hospitals well beyond normal capacity.įestive gatherings with friends and family might be tempting after a year that has seen the pandemic take at least 23,635 lives and ravage the economy as much of the state remained under a stay-at-home order that has closed nonessential businesses.īut officials repeated warnings that Thanksgiving gatherings where people didn’t wear masks or observe social distancing have resulted in a surge and begged people to forego Yule and New Year’s festivities.

This was probably the worst experience we've ever had at a casino. There were a few 'restaurants' that charged, or should I say, gouged you for mediocre food.

That's a great way to stop people from coming back to visit. What WAS there was a cheesy food court like the ones you see in shopping malls, except they all had inflated prices. We started to get a little hungry after a couple of hours of playing and to our surprise, there wasn't a food buffet there. The slots were tight and it wasn't a lot of fun playing here. The lighting in this place is odd, and a little too bright. When we first arrived it looked like your average casino-a bit small, but it had all the slot machines, table games, etc. But whoever figured this travel time out must have been going at midnight because it's really 1.4 hours during regular daytime traffic. We decided to check Graton out because of the promise of an easy-to-get-to casino near San Francisco.
