That’s where you’ll also find Clique’s pool bar service, a must to try whether you’re hanging out by the adult pool’s swim-up bar, lazing along Retreat’s lazy river or frolicking with the kids in the family pool (bring your earplugs). The high-profile Sycuan-Clique partnership, a first for a San Diego casino, also extends to Elicit Bar & Lounge, a smart-looking cocktail bar/club with a sushi and raw bar, fireplace, DJ, tableside mixology carts and a tempting patio overlooking the posh, new Retreat Pool & Cabanas. They’re also working with the Hotel del Coronado to give that venerable property a more contemporary patina.

After all, the hospitality group operates cool clubs and eateries ranging from Las Vegas’ Cosmopolitan and MGM Resorts casinos to Montage luxury resorts and the Pendry San Diego’s Lionfish, Oxford Social Club and Pool House rooftop bar. Appealing to a younger, hipper crowd was what 37-year-old Sycuan tribal chairman Cody Martinez had in mind when he proposed collaborating with Clique.
