If you take I-80 all the way to San Jose, its the long way through the Bay Area. But the Oaks Club is in Emeryville (East Bay from San Francisco, north of Oakland) not in the best of neighborhoods if you're not familar with the area.
Don't forget Casino San Pablo which is north of the Oaks, for get which city or turnoff.

The faster way to San Jose is to cut off at I-680 which by passes the Bay Area and goes directly to San Jose. But you miss the two card rooms above.

Don't forget Bay 101 or Garden City in San Jose.
