Ocean's Eleven

I don't know what all the negative energy is about. I have no idea why anyone will give this place a bad review. Have you been to Gardens Casino ... yuck. This place has food at your table. An amazing crowd of "normal" people. Nice, clean and pleasant atmosphere. Massage ladies, a bar at the table. Go to gardens try and get a drink at the table. Lol
for that matter go to gardens and try to get a massage lol. Nice safe parking that is freeway close. The people at the booth that give you your assignments are pleasant and nice. You don't constantly hear somebody screaming over the loudspeaker LR table 2. JB table 3. Dealers and players are family afterwhile. Everybody knows your story and your name it's just nice to see everybody. Everybody pretty much speaks English, Every now and again, there's a little action with some guy screaming m, calling someone out and throwing stuff around because he lost a big hand but that's just like the wild wild west. That's kind of cool.
The food and the restaurant is fantastic. The waitresses serve you at the table.
All the ladies that bus the dirty dishes at your table are a little overzealous sometimes and they're always coming around trying to grab my half finished plate of food lol I recommend you make a sign and put it on your food saying no do not touch until you're finished.

Oh, you can walk in without having to show your ID which is really nice. And the security staff makes you feel safe. The parking is pretty secure and the security guard outside keeps an eye on the cars. I've never had any problems even though the neighborhood is kind of sketch.

Jessica at the booth is her favorite and she should get promoted to VP immediately Lol

Never been to this casino before, first thing when we arrived was get told we can't park in their parking lot because we can only take up one car spot and we had a trailer. when we asked them where we could park they had no answer, so if you show up at around 12-1am with wide open parking you'll get treated like shit.


Dealers were fun, besides the upper pit people that sit next to the dealer. Guy had 0 personality or sense of humor.

Absolutely love Oceans! If you haven't been, it's a great casino to come by and check out. So no slots, but they have poker or Table Games.Everyone there is so friendly and attentive. Go see Jessica to put your name on the poker board;) or on the PokerAtlas app on your phone to save you some time on your wait when you come in :) Get a Player card and pay $25 and you get $50 in promotional chips to play in Table Games as a first timer:) check out website for Monthly promotions and tournaments. You can order food 24/7 on casino floor and food is decently priced and pretty good. Bartenders and cocktail waitresses are super friendly too. You can even request for a massage therapist while you play at the table. Did i mention Always open! ?Sweeettt

This place is crazy fun for a divey casino bar!
I had to meet my friend and he suggested coming here since it's his hang out. So fun. The drinks are great but I'm being sober so I didn't try anything but he did!! it's fun to watch people drink!!

We go to Carlsbad to our time share twice a year and I drop my husband off at Oceans Eleven twice each time we visit. He loves the place, the dealers and floor people. He tries to play Omaha and has a great time doing it. I love it because I take off to shop and have some alone time. We live 15 minutes from the Commerce Club and the Bicycle Club but he won't go there.

Arguably the best casino for blackjack and poker in southern California.

The blackjack dealers are nice. Tony, Sunshine, and Mindy are always friendly and helpful.

The only problem with this casino is the lack of courtesy demonstrated by random blackjack players. As a rule, you should ask if it's okay with the other players at the table before sitting down to join them. You don't want to ruin someone's winning streak. Relax and wait for the right moment, or wait for a new shoe. It's unfortunate, but people have forgotten how to think of others.

Best staff around easy. Don't forget it's a casino and it'll be the best time you could hope for gambling. Catch Mae for 21 and it's almost a guaranteed win!! No better floor man than Roland though his counterparts give 'em run for his money. By far my favorite card room , only downside is some of the doods at holdem are good af, be wary, gamble hard, never give up; just plastic and paper anyhow

I'm a long time regular here, I play here 2-3 times a week at medium to high stakes. A lot of the time poker is how I pay my bills. Every employee and security guard knows me here, most by including the manager. I've always been polite to the staff and I think a decent tipper. I have never done anything to warrant being thrown out of any card room, casino or any business for that matter. I'm a former marine and former police officer. I've even assisted security more than once over the years when they have been threatened. With all of that said, Rolland the floor man has raised his voice to me on numerous occasions for some really absurd things over the years that I have always just drop and let go of. I even assisted security last year when Roland almost got into a fist fight out front with a patron because he was having security remove a patron and the guy was upset and calling him names. The man was intoxicated and out of line, but security was being completely professional about it but Roland was cursing back at the patron and telling him he would kick his ass. It was kinda funny because Roland is a very skinny and tiny man with a classic short mans attitude and the patron was about 6'4" and 300lbs. Security was having trouble knowing how to respond because they are supposed to deescalate conflicts and keep the peace but their boss was acting as badly and out of line as the patron they were removing. Had I not helped out by talking the patron down and helping security deescalate the situation it could've gotten much worse. Security thanked me for my help and one newer security guard even told me "I don't really know who you are or your background outside of the casino, but I always feel better during bad situations when I know you're here."

That's the person I am.... but Roland has kicked me out twice now! He kicked me out one night at about 2am because the whole table, including the dealer was having trouble with one guy that was slightly intoxicated and threatening another player. When he did that I told the guy none of that was going to happen, he's intoxicated and should call it a night. The guy flipped out on me verbally, told me he would shoot me and stood up and acted like he was going to punch me. I obviously stood up so I could defend myself should this situation go sideways and at that point is when Roland walked back inside from his smoke break and realized there was a problem. Without asking any questions or looking at video he immediately kicked us both out. When Roland walked away with security to escort the other guy to the cage to cash out and then out of the casino the players that he was harassing and being verbally abusive to thanked me for saying something to him to help them out. The dealer even thanked me, then apologized to me for Roland kicking me out too and said he didn't know why Roland was like that.

Like most casinos this place isn't in the best part of town and there have been some serious problems here in the past. Years ago a security officer was shot in the lobby from outside and just a few years ago a female dealer was beaten and robbed while getting into her car to go home after her shift. She was beaten so badly she's never worked again and I believe she told me she was on disability for her injuries. The robber got away too. Security has been threatened to be shot many times and I even have seen a man brandish a gun in his waistline to another guy before.

Because of the area and history I ALWAYS carry a blade on me legally and it's NEVER been a problem until Roland kick me out today. Sometimes it's in a sheath on my waistline and sometimes it's a neck knife in a sheath around my neck.... often times it's both! This has never been a problem here or at any of the card rooms I go to in LA. Hustler security asks me to put my neck knife under my shirt sometimes when I come in but NO ONE has ever forced me to leave over it because NO ONE is checking patrons for guns, knives or weapons on their waistband as they come in. They check bags, but thats it! Tons of people have weapons hidden somewhere on their persons because it's not a safe area and lots of people including me leave with very large amounts of cash at times. No one smart wants to be the only person without any weapon on them when horrible shit happens. There's not even a sign posted anywhere that states no weapons of any kind are allowed! ... not that it would help because people just hid them anyways because NO ONE IS CHECKING FOR WEAPONS!! I even tried to put my neck knife under my shirt in front of him to appease him and that just caused him to get upset, raise his voice to me and tell me I actually needed to leave and not wear it back in. I tried to explain to him that a lot of people have knives on them hidden but they don't check, so why am I being forced to be unarmed. I had over $10,000 on me. He just got louder and told me I had to leave with it and not wear it again. Completely absurd.

First time here actually, I met a dude at Seven Mile, and he told me about this place.
This establishment is like a hundred times better than S.M. They offer 24 food here because their the kitchen never closes and the food is good and inexpensive. You are allowed to eat at the table while playing the hand. Plenty of tables and a really wonderful and most accommodating staff. They give away $$$ every hour of every day. So many tables to choose from, like the Sycuan.
I'll happily return.
BTW, the first time you go don't 4get 2 obtain their player's Card. Free $25 in your pocket just 4 registering. Plenty of handicapped parking.

Good cardroom, the property itself is very clean and newly renovated. Didn't do so well at poker but went over to baccarat and the dealer was super helpful and had a good time playing. Might come back and try again at baccarat!
