==Casino Controversy==
{{main|Jamul Casino}}
In 1999, the Tipai Band of Kumeyaay Indians, with 64 members living on {{convert|6|acre|m2}} of [[Tribal sovereignty|sovereign land]] in the Jamul area designated the [[Jamul Indian Village]], announced their intent to develop a new hotel and casino.

There was some opposition. The chief concern was the increased traffic on the main road through the town, [[California State Route 94|Highway 94]]. The location was such that all the traffic to and from the proposed casino would likely pass through the middle of the town.

In spite of the opposition, the tribe went ahead with the casino. Penn National Gaming became the developer, lender and manager of a $400 million Hollywood Casino in collaboration with the Jamul Indian Village. Hollywood Casino Jamul-San Diego opened on October 10, 2016. The casino included a three-story gaming and entertainment facility of approximately 200,000 square feet, featuring over 1,700 slot machines, 40 live table games, multiple restaurants, bars and lounges and an enclosed below-grade parking structure with approximately 1,800 spaces.<ref>{{Cite web|title=About Jamul Casino|url=https://www.jamulcasinosd.com/|access-date=July 12, 2017|publisher=Hollywood Casino Jamul}}</ref>
