* If you're a smoker, than you're off the hook for not having to wear a face mask. * If you're a non-smoker like me, then expect to be playing (unless you're fond of inhaling the unbearable cigarette smoke) in a tiny area with some of the worst, oldest machines to play on. * First of all, if you think you can win any money here, then hold on to that dream. I was there on June 16th to June 17th, 2020. I'll try to make it short and brief, but it's not going to be possible. It's the ultimate revenge of the Native American.Īfter having visited Chumash Casino for over 33 times in the past 30 years or so, I think the time has come for me to write a final review of this place.

The casino's electronic slots are keenly efficient when it comes to extracting dollars from a sector of the American public, but they can't produce or manage a concert event.

His response: 'Everybody's in the same boat, just keep driving around until you find a space.' We missed one of Mathis's two sets entirely, and had to walk through a smoke-filled casino to secure our seats (folding chairs) in a non-tiered, no slope, auditorium to catch his second set. When we were finally back at street level, a parking attendant was twirling his flashlight and we asked where we could park. Drove to the top of the four-level facility to discover that it terminated in a dead end! Each car had to make a K-turn to turn around and drive back down. When we entered the casino's parking garage, the electronic sign at the entrance said there were 58 empty spaces there were none. Finally secured a parking space at 8:45 pm (you read correctly). We drove on to the casino property at 7:15. Should have stuck with our memories - but not because of Johnny. Had last seen him in the summer of '64 in Atlantic City, NJ. Went to see Johnny Mathis at Chumash Casino on Valentine's Day.
