Its expansion, which is generating 750 new jobs, is scheduled to be completed in December. Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula is doubling its hotel capacity to 1,090 rooms, which will make it the largest casino hotel in California. Properties are adding an increasing number of amenities and upping their luxury quotient in the pursuit of not just local gamblers, but foodies, spa seekers, conventioneers, concert-goers and visitors from L.A., Orange County, Arizona and Mexico. But as one of five casino expansion projects - of varying size and expense - currently under way in the San Diego area, Viejas is launching its own salvo in an unprecedented casino resort arms race that is estimated to be costing about $1 billion combined. McCartney declined to give the cost of Viejas' full build out, which is expected to be finished in early 2018. The capacity has also doubled to about 3,000 for standing room general admission tickets. The 52,000-square-foot venue, located between the two existing hotel towers, is more than three times the size of its previous one. Viejas also recently announced the revival of its popular outdoor concert series, kicking off with country star Martina McBride on July 3. "What we're trying to do is create an environment that's communal, that's eclectic, that's attractive to people like me at 7 p.m., and then with music later, attractive to others after 9 p.m., McCartney said.
