Rooms are nice. TV service is ancient, not a lot for the kids to watch.. but being that we live in a capitalistic society there is a charge for the kid channels. Service - staff is definitely out there to get things done, except the guy from the chicken place (he was fun to chat with). Most everyone don't really show any amicability . Location - stunning Overall - if you get a promo or a deal. Absolutely go. I'd do it again as it helps service the Native community. I'd just do it differently.

Spa experience: I booked two 50-min treatments (facial and massage) on Thursday. Arrived around 30 mins early, and they took me in right away. Payment was processed first, then I got a tour of the spa facility. They have a hot sauna and steam room (it was unfortunate out of order), Jacuzzi with a salt shower, lockers, bathrooms and an area to get ready. The showers didn't have enough space to bring your clothes in with you. There are hooks outside the shower door for you to use. The parking (free) was easily accessible from the casino, and the Spa was easy to find. It was a great experience overall.

Went for a night to celebrate our anniversary. Our scheduled date was after a power outage. We where never notified of the closure and possibility of it affecting our stay. We had no access to pool or jacuzzi. I understand it was not any fault of theirs. But a heads up, option to change dates or offer a discount. Then early in morning they had emergency alarms ringing at 7:30am ringing for about 15 minutes with no advisement if it was a real emergency or false alarm, we had to ask multiple times. Rooms clean. But the relaxing part of why I booked the room was completely stripped of my stay. **We did dine at Hell's Kitchen. I do recommend. The service food, and drinks where amazing. Also.. all payment placed a deposit hold.. I had multiple on each restaurant and hotel deposit... It was however returned in 4 days

Took a long time to check in. I tried to use the self-check-in machine located in the lobby. After entering my confirmation #, it said ask staff to help you ended up back in the check in line. They had two staff primarily assisting diamond guests. Room does not have a coffee machine or coffee set up. Shower did not have hot water. That, in itself is a huge issue for me. Room had a nice view of mountain though. There was no "privacy" card in the room Location is too far from my house in the middle of nowhere. There is nothing you can do coming out of the casino smell of smoke everywhere in the lobby. All together, not a good experience.

December 2024 This place is probably not worth the effort to venture to. I've been a loyal customer for years and never have I experienced such horrendous, if not, the most disappointing holiday getaway after coming here this December 2024. The experience isn't fun nor has it been fun. It is getting too boring and old, machine isn't even giving you something back, food isn't as great except The Cafe (food and staff are excellent). The Starbucks baristas are inexperienced in making coffee like the real Starbucks would and the pricing is outlandish. Customer service is substandard, need to have people working there more pleasing and customer oriented (some are a bit nice, but there's this one that is just not meant to work dealing with customers), the whole casino smells like smoke, and most machines have issues. If you are planning to come to this place, be ready to experience the opposite of what they tell you. The rooms need some serious renovations given how the machines are cash hungry, broken light fixture, shower door seeping water in the bathroom, old curtains, need I say more. Overall, they only want your money if you gamble and don't really care about you as guest. If they're nice to you at first, believe me, later on when you are offered freebies (free-plays, gifts, promotions, signing-up for credit card, etc.), it's not even worth what you spend because you'll end up losing more than what they COMP you. I kept coming here just to see if by any chance, they'll at least give you back just a little of what you have lost throughout the years. I was wrong, many times and money lost and realized, they are just in it for the profit.

If you love smoke and overpriced food, come on in. We went for comedy show, which was good but seating was just banquet chairs in row, very cramped and bad visibility. (For the price). Smoke smell everywhere, beware. Rooms dated and light hardly worked. Not very easy to set up for a work place (had to do a teams call), and bed wasn't very comfy. Parking was good if a long walk to check in. Had to pay a lot more for a King than 2 queens (when you are tall it matters).. Service at checkin was lukewarm at best. Checkin checkout next... Restaurants were closing after the show and insane prices for average fast food. Not enough staff on to serve huge crowd. Along with food, the drinks were overpriced, $18 a cocktail in long line for mediocre mix. It's like prices at a game I guess but without the game. A lot of not happy people working late. Not the experience I expected and went home smelling like an ashtray.. along with my bag and everything in it. I'd probably skip this..even if a free ticket that was 150 each..

We stayed here one night after a trip to San Diego. The room was very nice, clean, and well maintained. We stayed in a North Tower King bed room and there was plenty of room for us. The casino has a great selection of games, some of the video poker games need maintenance (no sound, players club display not waiting, etc). We had dinner in the Asian restaurant and the food was very good. The only downside is the location, it's very much off the beaten path.

We got a mini suite and wow it is massive. The balcony is huge, it's not narrow. The hotel is not too big but it's lively. The pool is massive with a lazy river and it's always heated (24/7). It's a really nice stay for a few days, I recommend it.

Joseph at the front desk went above and beyond to make us feel so special on my husbands birthday. Everyone here is lovely and we are having an incredible time. Joseph stood out to us and really set the amazing vibes for our trip. We can't wait to celebrate here again very soon. Bartender Timothy makes a fantastic old fashioned and is awesome too!! Thank you to everyone that works here!

I had an amazing stay at Harrahs! My aunt and I took a weekend trip from Los Angeles to visit the casino near San Diego, and we had an incredible time. Upon arrival, we checked in and headed straight to the bar at Hell's Kitchen. Shortly after, our table was ready, and we enjoyed a fantastic dinner. Hell's Kitchen is conveniently located right on-site, just downstairs in the gaming area, making it easy to transition from dining to entertainment. After dinner, we hit the dance floor, and the DJ was outstanding! We danced for about two hours to some great tunes before trying our luck at the slot machines--both of us walked away winners! When we finally called it a night, our room was clean and comfortable, with cozy beds that made for a great night's sleep. Unfortunately, we had to leave early Sunday morning to get my aunt to church in Los Angeles, so our stay was a bit rushed. However, we'll definitely be returning when we have more time to fully enjoy everything the resort has to offer. We had an absolute blast!

Came here for an Aaron Lewis concert in Feb 2025. Overall great stay. Room was clean, casino was clean and it was a good concert venue for an amazing artist. My only complaint is their food options. After the concert we were in need of some food bc it was a parents night out and we like to drink ha. There was only ONE food place that was open that served not so great pizza and salads. We waited almost an hour but these guys worked their butts off for a lot of drunk people so kuddos to them. It'd be nice if they had more food options available especially for concerts. We'd love to come back for another stay / concert but would plan better for next time

I've been going to Harrah's Southern California for decades, even before the hotel was built. I just spent a night there with a girlfriend who had never stayed overnight at an Indian casino before. She absolutely loved it. Our room was clean and spacious, and it was ready when we arrived around 2:00 p.m. We had so much fun gambling. They have quite a variety of slot machines. There are many food options, a nice gift shop, a spa, and a fitness center. The only complaint I have is that I wish they'd make the casino smoke-free like they did during Covid. Other than that, we had a great time and can't wait to visit again!

We very much enjoyed our stay here. Their pool area is great, they have an adult only pool as well as one for kids and adults. My kids had a blast and my husband and I enjoyed it as well. The rooms are very clean and spacious, extremely fair priced. The casino is clean and well-maintained and they have a few restaurants on site. The location is off the beaten path, so plan on staying in the casino during your stay or driving at least half an hour. Great option if you are looking for an affordable staycation.

Been coming here for years and we always enjoy our stays. I love the location, which is in a pretty rural area and surrounded by mountains. THE HOTEL ROOMS. The hotel rooms are generally clean and well kept. There was a time when the Dive Inn rooms seemed a little dingy and I think it's because of its close proximity to the pool (which also has a lazy river & swim up bar) and perhaps people who stay in those rooms are likely to utilize the pool more. However, they just recently renovated the Dive Inn rooms, so those should be nice and spiffy now. I normally stay in the North Tower because it's closest to the casino floor and usually get a room comp for the Resort Tower Room (440 sf), Sweet Suite (882 sf), or Oh So Suite (1028 sf). For this trip, we were able to reserve the Oh So Suite, which is comprised of a living/dining room, bedroom, spacious bathroom, and balcony with a table and chairs to lounge in. THE CASINO. The casino floor isn't as expansive as Pechanga, but I prefer it this way. It feels more comfortable to wander around, knowing you're not going to get lost. This is a smoking casino, but they do have a non-smoking area as well. I have won a few jackpots here before, nothing substantial. THE FOOD. There's a limited selection of sit-down restaurants and a small food court. Not gonna lie, we make reservations to Hell's Kitchen every time we stay here. THE PARKING. There's a parking structure that takes you directly into the casino. Surface parking is available but you want your car in shade, especially during the summer, so park in the structure. THE RESERVATION. Reservations can be made several ways: on their website, app, calling the hotel, or through a casino host. Amateur tip: sign up for Caesars Rewards and start earning points towards room comps! THE RETURN? 100%! I like the location, rooms, casino floor, and Hell's Kitchen. Oh, and the comps always reel me back in.

Omg this is probably the worst property in Southern California. I'm still reeling by how bad it is. I received comps for a free stay and I was like cool, I'll check it out. I booked into a suite and the thing was dated, run down, and filthy. Looks like it hasn't been thoroughly cleaned since before the pandemic. Needless to say I didn't stick around. Combined with limited mediocre food options, small gaming selection, and overall dead vibe I won't be coming back.

We came here on the weekday as I wanted to stay in a very nice room. During the weekends, we can only get the regular room as we probably figured it is all booked up for the high rollers. Self-check in worked me us great last time, but this time we had issues and we had to go to the front desk as it was not a long wait. We ended up getting the Ohio Suite which is two rooms and a very nice and modern room. I did enjoy going to the patio at night time and pretend I am sun bathing. The bathroom was huge and had a nice tub. Shower was alright, but prefer the one at Choctaw. They actually have bottles for the soap, lotion, etc which was a surprised as I was expecting pumps. Gaming wise, they keep up with the updated games and they have old school games. I prefer double buck as that is my go to game. I have not hit a jackpot on this machine, but hitting $600 dollar hits is always fun. I hope one day to hit jackpot here. I finally got the pinball $5 dollar denom and did not disappoint as I ended up winning $750 dollars and $500 on another session. I play other games and this time I did end up being a winner here and did not withdrawal more money, but it is good that I only had 1-2 hour session and I did not break my rule of not playing after going to the park and playing in the morning. The casino overall has a good assortment of games from the high volatile, medium and low volatile. I had some luck here as coming here is not so bad as I know what games to play and which one to avoid.

I recently visited Harrah's Resort Southern California in Valley Center to attend a concert at their venue, which was surprisingly unique. The casino is rather small but still nicely laid out, making it easy to navigate between the various gaming options, bar, food options and music venue. The space felt more like a conference center, which added an interesting vibe to the overall experience at the concert. After the concert, we played at the blackjack table. The dealer was incredibly friendly and kept the atmosphere light with her humor, which made the game super enjoyable! She was wonderful! If you're looking for a casino that has gaming, live entertainment, and a welcoming atmosphere, Harrah's is definitely worth a visit.

I've been going to this place for many many years and have always had a great time. So where do I start. After a short scenic drive you arrive up to this wonderful oasis. As you pull up to valet you are immediately greeted and the friendly bellmen are at your service. Soon after, you're passing through the sliding glass doors and walking up to the front desk. The desk personnel are friendly and ready to provide you with a host of information and service. Provide your ID and swipe your card and viola your provided with the keys to your room. Every room I've had has always been clean, with ample space and all have weak appointed restrooms. I always enjoy the body soaps and shampoos provided. Now let's talk about the pools. They are all warmed and close at different hours at different times of the year. There's an amazing lazy river, a swim up bar and an adult pool. And that's not all theres also a large selection of hot tubs in different sizes. Summer weekends provide a great party atmosphere quite often with a DJ. The service at the swim up pool is first class. Poolside service is also top notch as they provide drinks and a good variety of poolside food for enjoying. This location has a Hells Kitchen which is outstanding. There's also multiple eateries which have everything from sandwiches to Chinese food. The cafeteria has all the usual foods and more. This is a great place to stop in for breakfast. Unfortunately, I could not find buffalo wings on my last visit. The bars are fun with games available on the bar tops. The sports bar has beer specials during football games. There's plenty of seating at the various bars and plenty of friendly people to hang out and vibe with. There are additional activities inside during the weekends such as bands and dj's. It's easy to understand why this place is located in a wonderful land called Funner. I have seen that every time I go, I can make the visit even more funner. Thank you, I will be back again and again.

I would like to leave a review about the front desk worker Romario. Our family often visits your hotel and Romario help us very often. I would like to note his professionalism, positive attitude towards clients. He always helps with any issue, gives advice. Your hotel is very lucky to have such a wonderful employee. I hope that you will appreciate his professional qualities. Shemil and Elena.

We booked a non-smoking room, but when we arrived, our room reeked of cigarette smoke. When we asked the front desk to switch to a true non-smoking room, they said it wasn't possible. They did try to use some type of spray to rid of the smoke but it did not help. The smell was so overpowering that we couldn't stand to stay the full two nights so we left after just one. To make matters worse, we woke up congested, likely from the poor air quality. Sleeping in those conditions was nearly impossible. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone--it's absolutely not worth the trip. If I could give it a zero, I would, but since that's not an option, it gets a 1 star out of 5 star.

Don't monitor the non smoking areas. People are smoking. Then, they leave their ashes and cigarettes all over the machines bc there are clearly no ash trays in the area. Had to leave my machine because 3 different people were smoking on the non smoking area. Workers were in sight, and just chatting together. Did nothing. So terrible. Called for service for a broken machine. No one came.

I'm only truly happy when I walk out a winner, otherwise it's just okay. I like this casino, it's not too big, not too small, great places to eat, great concert venue (we saw Gladys Knight last week), parking is plentiful. It'd be perfect if they paid a girl handsomely.

We enjoyed our first time here, we notice how smoky it was here. No luck here but sat at bar Tini And played the video machines and laughed with friends we had't seen in a long while. Great to try a new Casino and catch up with friends. We had Mexican food that's the only thing open it was okay. But wish more food place. There a cafe but the line was to long of a wait. No luck here but we enjoyed our selfs Sat in the patio great day by the pool is great!!

Love this hotel! I'm not sure why there's so many bad reviews because the place is pretty clean and really nice inside. All of the bathrooms were really nice clean and up-to-date. The Dive Inn rooms are super pretty and spacious with top-notch bathrooms and the pool is a lot of fun. The only thing I would say is it's severely overpriced!!! booking a room it's about double is what it should be and I think if it cost less I would definitely go more often. It's pretty much in the middle of nowhere so $500 a night is ridiculous. The only other thing that was uncomfortable was the smoke smell in the casino... they need better ventilation.

Came out for the Anjelah Johnson comedy tour and stayed the night with 2 friends in one room. We booked a room with 2 queen beds. The room was really nice, very clean and did not smell of smoke at all. The air quality was actually really good, not Smokey at all. The beds were comfortable, the pillows were full, loved the bathroom because it had so much space at the sink which was great since there were 3 of us ladies getting ready at the same time!! The show was held at the event center, there was a security bag check before entering the center but it moved really fast and security was well organized. The seats were tiered which was great because we sat further in the back and could see the stage clearly plus they had 2 large screens on the side of the stage also. After the show we decided to grab a few drinks at the bar near the event center that had a DJ and a dance floor. The bartenders name was Mary and she was really nice and fast with the drinks! The music was good, the drinks were good, it was a fun time! Only complaint was the slot machines were really tight lol!!

We came for the night to celebrate my husbands birthday. I made the reservation for a non-smoking room and I'm glad I did. Since it's a smoking casino it smells quite a lot like cigarettes in the whole place. The room is spacious and clean. We were on the 7th floor with a nice view of the mountains. Unfortunately we were close to the elevator and other guests were really rowdy and loud most of the night. I went to sign into wifi as a guest in the hotel and they wanted to charge over $12 for 2 people for the night. After spending $300+ for a room you think wifi would be included. The casino has a pretty good variety of machines and tables. We played quite a few of them with no luck. My husband and I both feel like the slots are the tightest of any casino around. I don't imagine we'll be back to play anytime soon. We are at the Chinese restaurant and the food was really good. Spent time in the lazy River and adult only spa. I appreciate that they have the adult only area. The area around the pool was a mess. There's tons of towels and garbage everywhere. People clearly didn't pick up after themselves but not sure there's anyone working here doing that.

I had a really good time at Harrah's. I stayed here to celebrate my birthday, the biggest draws being the location (less than an hour from central SD), the pool area & lazy river and the fact that Ceasars owns it and it did indeed feel like a mini vegas. My whole experience here was pretty great, all of the employees that I interacted with were nice and we got a bit of a room upgrade upon check in. The room itself was a pretty decent size and had a mini fridge and safe. I actually spent most of my time at the pool and casino and was impressed by both - the casino is clean and has a pretty big variety of games, not to mention some of my favorites. I do wish they had more servers that walked around taking drink orders but really wasn't too big of a deal since there was always a bar close by. Now the pool - I rented a luxury longer for the full day which cost about $110 but totally worth it in my opinion. It's in the perfect location in between the swim up bar and one of the hot tubs. You do also get a dedicated waitress and is way more comfy than your usual lounger. I was also impressed by the price of the food and drinks. The best deal is to get the tumbler which is a great souvenir in itself and also allows you refills for a very decent price. Most of my refills were $18 and were perfect for sippin in the pool or floating down the lazy river. The other thing I really appreciated was the 21+ area only, however the lazy river is open to all ages and there were a lot of kids. I wish they would have an adults only lazy river. The other aspect of the resort that I have to talk about is the food/restaurants/bars. They have a pretty good variety of restaurants ranging from fast food to nicer restaurants. My one gripe is that a few of them are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays which were the exact days we were staying, but we made the best of it and did end up eating some tasty food (that's a separate review). Next, the bars circling the casino floor and were again plentiful and I was pleasantly surprised at the prices - I got a double for $10, that is pretty unheard of nowadays. Best believe I will be back with so many more things to check out!

Spent 2 nights at the Harrah's San Diego resort with my lady friend. Rented a pool cabana for the first day to relax and enjoy the day at the pool and lazy river. Dinner at Gordon Ramseys Hell's Kitchen restaurant. Day 2 we took a drive to Balboa park and enjoyed the museums there. Dinner that night at mitch's seafood on San Diego Bay behind point loma Sportfishing. Back to Harrah's for some gambling before heading to bed. I really enjoy the Harrah's resort, especially the pools and water features. The only swim up bar in Southern California is located there. The rooms are nice, well appointed, comfortable beds, and faifairly spacious. Staff are customer service oriented and take care of my requests and needs.

Wow the Harrah's in Funner, CA brings shame to the entire brand. I only made the trek out here for Hell's Kitchen, but if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't go anywhere near this place. Still cringing really hard. As we pulled into their parking structure, parked, and got out of the card. There was a disgusting pee smell in the parking structure. Barf. I was nevertheless in a good mood, until their unprofessional security staff stopped me from taking a photo that said Welcome to Funner, something about some lawsuit. I'm like okay that's fine. Then he was laughing like he's so funny. What the heck. Then he was like wait come back take the picture. No thanks dude, the moment is over. Not to mention he kept bothering us as we walked by. This is literally unsanctioned harassment. I straight up told him he's wasting my time. He was like hollering from me as I walked off laughing saying don't you have time for a joke? Dude if I want to hear jokes I'll go to a comedian. It's only a joke if it's funny. Note for the casino, he totally ruined any desire I had to gamble. I don't expect kiss-up service but I don't need to be bothered for no good reason. Bad Ju Ju! It gets worse. After our long drive, my friend was going to change into a Hell's Kitchen worthy outfit, and I was going to use the restroom. THE BATHROOM STANKKKK. Like somehow the chemical smell of commercial grade cleaning supplies mixed with the smell of pee. It lacked freshness or an actual clean feel. I ran out of there because it made me so nauseous. My body was like no no we don't need to pee anymore, let's get out of here. Also this is a smoker's environment. My lungs could not handle the constant second-hand smoke in every direction. Minimal tables, most slots. Of the few tables we saw, the minimums were high. Other than Hell's Kitchen being here, I appreciated their interactive touch screen directory. I'm trying really hard to have something nice to say here. I'm still grossed out by my experience at the Harrah's in Funner. Like I'm personally better off going to Las Vegas and that drive is more pleasant.

It's a nice hotel. The rooms are a decent size, and the staff were very friendly. We came to Harrah's for the Steve Vai/Joe Satriani show on 5/10/24. The venue in which they played was very nice, and even the seats were super comfortable (a definite must for me as I have a hip injury). We decided to have dinner before the show, and chose Salt and Fin, inside the casino. I'll leave a separate review for that later, but it was a wonderful meal. We stayed in the hotel after the show. Our single king room was pretty nice. The view from the south tower is great, so book that if you can, as I've heard the north tower has zero view at all. My only complaint about our stay is the pillows. These are the worst hotel pillows I've ever experienced. I'm pretty sure they were curated by Satan himself as punishment for gambling in the casino below! They were just awful, lumpy, thin, sad little sacks of something akin to cotton batting. We didn't do any gambling as that's not our scene, but they have lots of tables and even more machines. It was pretty Smokey at 11 when the show let out, so we had to zip through pretty fast as I'm sensitive to all smoke. Would I stay at Harrah's again? Definitely! But next time I'll be bringing my own pillow.

I stated Bo ? Bo who ? you got a last name ? he said that's not important ??I go excuse me did you call to talk with me or Bully me ? He demanded to know about the Events that had takn place on 12/29/24 , as I was trying to explain to the angry Owner of Harrah's he became judge and jury throwing out that's allegations that's speculation?? Ok Then why are you asking me anything, you know everything so why did you call plus I've asked you for your name over 9x you refuse to supply , did you called to interrogate me and demand individuals names but yet you do want to cooperate by simply giving your last name? check this out Mr Bo we're done ! plus I can't believe all you've done is Brag during this entire conversation about your Name Tag that says owner ?? For an owner of a Casino renting the Harrah's name You are truly embarrassing not only to the Harrah's Corporation and Tribal Council but you don't show the Quality of Performance and Service that comes with Caesar's Corporate requires , But bullying individuals pretending your a police officer or attorney? Finally Just hung up and contacted Vista Sheriff's Dept , not even 30sec into conversation with Deputy he knew exactly who I was Talking about Bo Mazzetti " CHAIRMAN" of Rincon Tribal Council, Deputy stated to file Report of Conversation with Name Tag " Chairman" Bo Mazzetti with Tribal Police ?? I contacted Tribal Police only to have Sgt or individual that took call from dispatch to tell me they can't make Reports against Council ?? They won't He won file complaint on Bo "Name Tag " Mazzetti , after looking into Mr Mazzetti background he Graduted from a Division3 JC in LaVerne Ca where he supposably Played Football ?? LaVerne CA ? And this Person from this No Name JC is Owner of Harrah's ?? Investigations like this ADA complaint from the Justice Department on Entities like Harrah's Rincon are because individuals like Bo "Name Tag Chairman" Mazzetti Create Retaliation and Reprisal due to there lack of Education And Obviously Pulling the Too Kool for Skool Card ? Ohh ya when I stated I filed an ADA Complaint he Stated ok that's enough with the ADA Card ? I Go excuse me ?? I saw This individual in pic with shovel in his hand for some new project Tribe was Building in Groundbreaking ceremony ! Perfect Pic Bo "Name Tag" Mazzetti holding shovel ! That's Exactly what Your Doing Digging the Rincon Tribal Council and Harris's Name into the Ground ! I expressed my Animosity of his Harrah's Staff for purposely kicking out my GF a Mother out of The Room as Retaliation on me on 12/29/24 ! Anyone who Understand Indian Culture should know GRANDFATHER Holds Motherhood as a Sacred Thing due they bring new Indian Tribal Blood into Indian Nation ! Harrah's Rincon Deserves everything that's Coming at them in litigation , All I did was Use my Due Diligence and File ADA Complaint, So far the Retaliation Continues and seems to escalate ! All I wanted to Do is Mediate on Situation . I afraid to ask if they even know what Mediate is ?? Caesar's Corporate has explained to me if anyone reading his review have been Disrespected or Bullied by Harrah's Rincon to Kindly Respond o Caesar's Corporate by Contacting them With Complaint !

Had a kid free date night here and it was amazing. We went in the hot tub and enjoyed drinks while we relaxed. Afterwards we walked around the casino, had some drinks and talked and just enjoyed people watching. Everyone was awesome. Only downfall was the smoking, but can't complain much when you're having so much fun!

Very cool casino that's family friendly. They have a separate adults only pool with a bar as well as a lazy river for everyone. They provide towels but didn't have any floaties available. People seem to bring their own. I'd advise stopping by a nearby CVS / Walmart / Target and buy some on the way to the casino. They have a nice selection of eateries to choose from. We tried Best of Cluck (Mac and cheese) and Corner Counter (sandwiches). The Mac and cheese and super cheesy goodness. It's not a typical box Mac whatsoever. The sandwiches at Corner Counter were a bit pricey, but super delicious and available 24/7. When we went, they were in the process of remodeling rooms, so I'm excited to return to stay in a nice new room. The room we stayed in was a bit dated and a bit dusty, so I was thankful I brought some cleaning wipes to clean up when we got there. I have a video of my SD trip that includes a room tour. https://youtu.be/SNibclkIjQs?si=DXPK9VuhzMllgWRk The link to my channel is also in my Yelp profile.

What a pleasant trip to Harrah's!!! Super nice rooms, clean and spacious. Staff were very friendly. Easy drive to the location. Pool area was kept clean and family friendly. Long wait for valet pick up but the valet parking was in walking distance .

I've been to many Harrah's locations, but this one is by far my favorite. We travel from San Jose, and the hour drive from the airport is well worth it. Check-in is always smooth thanks to the kiosks, and there are plenty of promotions to take advantage of. Valet is consistently kind and incredibly fast. The hotel rooms are spotless and smell great. While they don't service rooms during your stay, texting 'Ivy' has been a great alternative--prompt and helpful. When we needed extra towels and trash removal, a quick text through the Ivy number had them delivered in no time. Since it's a casino, the lobby does have a strong smell of smoke, but once you're in your room, there's no trace of it. One standout feature is the small water park with private cabanas and a swim-up bar. And if that's not enough, they also have a spa and several food options. It's the perfect getaway, and I recommend it to all my family and friends!

Came for the Alice Cooper concer. Tickets were very pricey although I sat next to people who got tickets for free because of their Diamond status. I guess it's who you know because I'm Diamond Elite but I wasn't offered or could I get free tickets. The people next to us also said that they were here previously for another concert and when the concert started, they just started letting people in for free. We enjoyed the concert very much. Alice Cooper is a rock and roll icon. He still performs great at his age. The stage affects were very entertaining.

Well let me tell you last year at this time I was less than pleased with Harrah's part of the Caesars group but boy have times changed! My wife and I went in there for her birthday spent a couple days beautiful room and everybody was so friendly absolutely a 360° difference from the year before. From the front desk to the floor managers to the card membership everyone appeared to enjoy their job and when they do that it rubs off on the rest of us so thank you Harrah's had a great birthday for my wife

The hotel is nice and decent size. Check in : Staff was friendly and nice and fast. Room : We only stayed 1 night because we're actually there for Hell's kitchen and got a Resort King in the North Tower.The room was nice and clean,Bed was comfy but pillows are weird,There were 4 pillows and they are all small one but it did not give me any neck pain in the morning,So that's a win! Toilet was separate from the bathroom (Basically with it's own door) which we like.Shower was great! Water got hot quick a d water pressure was awesome! Parking : Plenty of parking in the garage and outside and it's free parking. Check out : Staffs could be nicer and had a better attitude or at least make an eyes contact with guests when you talked to them and that's what need to be improved and that's why I took out 1 star. Casino : Average like not super clean but not dirty either.Restroom was clean though.Do not expect to win anything big here because while I was sitting I can hardly here the bell goes off from someone hitting a bonus or jackpot from slots machine. At the machine like Roulette machine,For some reason if you have gold member player card it won't work with the machine,Basically you can't collected the points from those machine and it's not only my card,I saw a bunch of people had the same problem while I was there but if you are anything higher than gold it would work! I tried my card with other slots machine and it's work perfect! Overall it's a good casino for a quick getaway.

It was an aiiiiight stay. I've been to other resorts, but this one really gives older crowd vibes, and by that, I mean folks older than 50-ish (I mean NO offense at all, just being honest from my perspective). It's clean, and the rooms are pretty updated, but nothing really gave me a wow factor to render 5 stars, so it's a 3.5 for me. It's a quick getaway if you're in San Diego or the IE, but it didn't have much to offer other than the pricey restaurants that you're forced to eat at and the pool area which closes early. What pool area closes at 6 pm?? At a resort... in the summer?! Did I mention the $50 floaties they sell in the convenience stores inside so you can use them at the pools if you get there in time? Oh yes.. I did.. look up Dive in Valley Center and you'll see my review, lol! We ended up having dinner at the Chinese restaurant, and although the food was good and authentic, the prices were pretty ridiculous for basic dishes. I don't even remember how much we spent, but I wouldn't come back. The room was nice, and the beds were comfy. Bonus points for a lack of bed bugs! Yay!! The bathrooms didn't have a fan, so there was not much ventilation in there. Other than that, having a mini fridge in the room was nice. BYOL to pregame, lol! I hope you like it more than I did. =/

Yes! I definitely recommend this place. My family & I absolutely love it. The rooms and updated and clean. They have great restaurants (except for Rita's Cantina, which is garbage food, literally) they have a great spa, two gift shops and many pools. We always go to the lazy river because it's the only pool children friendly, and honestly I'm fine with it:). It's a casino, I know, but my children want to be here every time a vacation is being planned lol. And it won't hurt to go home with some cash.

I first set foot in Harrah's just about 20 years ago, and have made countless trips here. Although things have changed a lot from that first trip, not much has changed in the almost 10 years I haven't stopped by here to donate. There is a small parking area on the side by the main road, but the valet and hotel parking are in the rear, along with the entrance to the parking structure. Although the casino itself may undergo a lot of maintainance and cleaning, one of the areas that is frequently neglected is the parking elevators, and Harrah's is no different from any of the other nearby casinos. There is a rancid stench eminating from the elevator walls and floor, and the buttons are nice and sticky. It wouldn't hurt to clean the elevators maybe once a year, eh? Aside from that, the first thing you notice after entering the casino is the cigarette stench. It hits you like a brick wall. The only eateries where you won't get the smell is Hell's Kitchen and Rita's Cantina, and probably Salt Fin. Even the nonsmoking area [which used to be a tiny little area in front of the cafe] reeks. If you're staying at the hotel, bring an extra change of clothes for when you sleep. Most of the restaurants will be on the north wall of the casino, with the Starbucks and deli sandwiched between the cashiers cage and rewards booth, and Rita's on the South end near the pool. There are a few drink bars that you can squat at along the walls too. While all the restaurants and bars might be new, the layout is still the same. It's hard to get lost, but easy to lose someone nonetheless. The machines may have changed, but the overall layout, including machine setups hasn't differed. Hotelwise, checkin is a breeze, with the main checkin booth on the South side of the casino, next to the South tower elevators. The North tower elevators are located between the promotion desk and the Cafe. I'm assuming that the pool closing at 6pm is due to winter, but with sunset being so early, you have a chance to enjoy a few minutes next to the firepit (ask them to light it for you) in the evening. There was an overwhelming smell of gas after a while, which we did advise the attendant. The main pool was closed for maintainance, but there were a few smaller pools and spas bubbling away and a handful of brave souls were in the lazy river, which is on my list of places to visitl next time i stay here. The room we had was very spatious, with a couple of chairs and a nice sized bathroom. Pros: Refrigerator, multi outlets on the lamps, detaching hangars, spacy bathroom and separate toilet room. Easy checkout process. Cons: Both chairs suck, spiders all over the outside of the window, no towelhooks, toilet bowl was rediculously low to the ground, and not only does the showerhead not adjust, but the shower is cramped and water leaks through the door. I'd stay here again if it was cheap or free, otherwise a turnaround trip is always on the table. Watch out at the Starbucks though, the sticker prices for their merchandise is almost double a regular store.

Using a promotion IT system that actually works. In the morning, you wait and wait and wait to swipe to get your prize printout only for your card not to work. It's not like you can go to another kiosk to swipe. They all have long lines of people struggling to swipe. Why waste the paper at all (for a place that praises their eco ways) and have people go up to a counter and have a host swipe and give you the promotion piece. Valley View, Pauma, and Pechanga do that. Why not Harrah's?

POOL EXPERIENCE ONLY I've gone here twice now (only for the pool!) 1x for day pass ($40/day) 1x for cabana party ($550) PROS -Great food (poolside or inside) -Good drinks -Clean restrooms/overall clean facility -Lots of areas to float, people watch, drink or nap! -Rates are decent -Staff is helpful and friendly CONS -No clue what the hotel rooms are like so it shouldn't be considered here -Food inside takes quite a long time to receive 30-45 minutes for 5 guys/earl of the sandwich (pool food was under 20 minutes)

1st time here, and I will definitely be back. Please know that I am a regular at the casinos in Vegas, and I give this hotel 4 out of 5. The reason is the smoking and smell of urine in the parking lot. Other than that, I really like the vibe (location) and the amenities. This hotel has one of the best pools and the food options were good too. There is a lazy river that uses floats, so bring one with you or buy a large from the pool store for $40-$30 bucks. There are not a lot of vegan options, but if you're not picky, you can make it work. They also have a really nice gym, too. Hells Kitchen and SmashBurgers are some of the main restaurants they have at this hotel. I will definitely become a regular here. Also, the people were really nice too.

We had a very unpleasant experience at their check-in counter. We arrived 3:25pm and start the check in process. The young lady told us the room was not ready for OH SO Suite,but if we want the room immediately, we can down grade to Mini Suite. So we said it's OK to downgrade. and we asked if we can have 21st fl., She checked with supervisor and told us nothing available at 21st floor. And then told us even the Mini suite need to wait now for just 3 minutes later. So we said just text us when first available- either Oh So Suite or Mini Suite. We wait 55 minutes until 4:20pm, nothing happen. So we went back to the counter. The first thing Jacqualyn (We learned later she is the supervisor that she claimed.)asked was did you get a text message? Seems she doesn't want us to check the room status. So we explained to her the whole situation, she said the Mini Suite was not ready. I was a little bit upset and asked how about the Oh So Suite. She checked and it was ready but they never notify us. She insist it's not their fault since computer show we "volunteer downgrade to Mini Suite. Without apology nor good attitude, I asked for the supervisor. That's how we learned she is the supervisor.She also insist check in at 4:00 is "start", it does not mean all room is ready. Any normal people should know if we are willing to downgrade is due to we can have the room earlier. I think the number 1 thing for the front desk is "Customer Service". We are reasonable customer and they don't even mark down what we asked was get the room for first available. Her attitude should not even be supervisor in the front desk when it shows " it's not my job to help: "you take what I told you". It's easy to lose a customer since the competitions always there.

Hey Everyone, My husband and I spent a four-night (five-day) stay with Harrah's in Funner, CA. Michael L. greeted me which was extremely appreciated. We enjoyed it for the atmosphere and luxury. We broke even so it wasn't horrible. The pools and jacuzzies were a huge enjoyment. We were supposed to enjoy the spa but didn't make it, which we do regret! All in all, it was delightful and cozy!

Made reservations Feb 29th, upon arrival I was told I will not be receiving the room I requested due to it being unavailable / out of order. I was like well will I receive an upgrade to what I was promise when I reserved the room? When we visit Caesars we would get an upgrade or some type of compensation / apologies due to the inconvenience. No we are in California different states. In my head I'm like well you are still part of Caesars right!? Horrible! Customer service is lacking here and I truely believe you should care about people when working the front desk, at least try to look like you want to be there without a gloom look on your face. Beds were small, room was dirty ( crumbs in drawers, lamps were full of dust, mirrors had smudges on them along with dust ) super gross! This is our first time here and the only way I'll come back is if this was complementary. I would not spend my money on rooms here. I would rather fly to go to Vegas than take the hour drive to this hotel. NOT EVEN THE HELLS KITCHEN HERE WOULD HAVE ME COMING BACK. Btw the hell's kitchen is way better in Vegas! I hope the higher ups sees this and will hopefully retrain most of the young "management" on duty because you willost differently be losing clientele if you don't do something about this immediately.

Booked the two queens dive in with pool view. My first time getting a room with the pool view and it was beautiful! I had the balcony door open majority of the time. I like listening to the calm water and the activities thats going on below me. It was nice. I came mainly for the pool area, when we went down around 5ish. It was pretty packed at the under 21 area. It was still fun. They had a mini store next to it that sold snacks, sodas and floaties! Or you can bring your own and I planned on doing so in future visits. The downfall of that day was when their register machine went down and no one can't buy anything with their cards only cash but shortly after the store worker closed it down. I was getting hungry and tried to order some food from the 21 plus side but their kitchen closed at 1700 (5pm). Every where was carpeted so it's a challenge with hauling your luggage throughout the hotel side. The theme was jurassic dinosaur through the casino. It was pretty cool, I haven't seen that theme before. Definitely go visit the pool area if you ever stop by!

Dive Inn, first floor, nonsmoking room with an adjoining door. Room was newly renovated and really cute and clean. The lady staying next door could be heard talking quite clearly in the morning through the adjoining room door. Woke us up an hour before our alarm. We were really surprised to be woken up and laying in bed bc there was no sound proofing at all. Fast service restaurants aren't all open daily. Had rewards credit for Best of Cluck and it was closed the two days we stayed. Separate review left for Rita's Cantina. Service from all staff we encountered was great and bumped up stars for the review.

Definitely not a place to stay during the week. We booked for a Tuesday to see The Cult concert. We did check in early online prior to arrival to avoid the line. When we arrived at 3:30, the kiosks for self in were out of order. We stood in line for over an hour to check in. All the sit down restaurants were closed, they had a few fast food places you could wait and take your food some place else to eat. The pool bar was infested with bees, only two bars total were open inside. You will stand in at least a 30 min line to get a drink. Overall the entire night we spent more than half the night just standing in lines from check ins, drinks, food, concert, bathrooms. Go see a concert somewhere else if you want an overall fun night, the amenities they offer are not always available here and very under staffed.

My experience at Harrah's casino was disappointing due to its cleanliness issues. Around 89% of the machines had cigarette ash on them, and there was trash scattered on the floor, making the environment feel filthy. I didn't see any employees cleaning up during my visit, which was surprising for a casino hotel resort. However, my stay in the hotel was much better--the room was clean, the bed was comfy, and the bathroom was spacious. Despite this, Hell's Kitchen was an amazing choice for dinner! It's a beautiful restaurant with great service. If Harrah's wants to attract more customers and keep them loyal, they really need to improve the cleanliness downstairs.

After speaking to the rude spa manager I called the hotel. I was told a manager would call me back. It's been three days, how long does it take to make a phone call? Harrah's doesn't care about their customers. Never again will I walk through their doors.
