    This past Sunday came here for a bus trip and it was pretty cool. They gave many nice slot machines and good eateries here. They have a cabana outside with a nice pool and bar area. They play music as well. This casino/resort is very up to date and modern. It's very clean inside and good bats to watch games. I would come back to stay even though nothing is really next to it. You will have to drive far to get to more city life or restaurants. I will come back here to try more eateries inside and actually stay the night. -Marshay D.

    This is a small gambling casino place. It does not have everything that you can bet on or play games but they have enough slots. Nice pool area with cool vibes and fun.

    No folks this is not for a convention on how to get in touch with my feelings. This is the layout for a concert.
    Jeff L.

    This review is for a concert I went to see there. First of all, the acts were great, so Harrahs gets a star for attracting good talent to perform. The onsite parking is really convenient and from your parking spot in the deck or the adjacent lot, the casino and concert hall are easy to access. However, that is where the kudos end. The room we saw the concert in looked like a conference room for a convention. I was like are we here to rock out or be moved by a keynote speaker that will get us in touch with our feelings?!? The chairs and carpet look like they're from circa 1977. The light fixtures must have been part of the 1981 remodel and everything just looks and smells old. There would have to be a pretty important show that I wouldn't want to miss for me to come back here. Tbh it was kinda ghetto.

    We had a fun and super relaxing staycation at Harrah's So Cal. ‍ We stayed two nights. Here are our ratings breakdown. It was my first time to Harrah's. Room: We stayed in a Premium King room in the Dive Inn Tower. The view of the pool area was fantastic. The room was clean and I love that even though it doesn't have an actual balcony, it has a sliding glass door that opens so you can get lots of fresh air. The room rate was reasonable using the Caesar's Rewards app. Food (not including Hell's Kitchen): food options are limited. There are currently two full service restaurants that are in the process of rebranding. This leaves current food options limited to fast food, Chinese food, and pool food. There is a cafe, which we ate at once, and it also falls under the one star category. Hell's Kitchen: Definitely worth the splurge! Food and service were impeccable. We enjoyed our meal very much. (Reviewed Hell's Kitchen separately. Night life: Not a destination for night life. There was a band that played one of the nights, but it was not really our jam. Casino: As far as casinos go, it was fine. We are not gamblers, but we threw a few $$ in a video blackjack game. Casino is very smoky. Pool area: This is definitely a highlight and was the main reason for us choosing Harrah's. There is a swim up bar and a large adult only pool. Kids are allowed at the lazy river portion so that area gets super crowded. But it's a fun vibe. We appreciated that the rest of the pool area is adults only (21+) and the staff were on top of running kids out. Adequate chairs and umbrellas for shade. It was in the 90's when we were there, which was just perfect. Overall, a nice destination especially if you are wanting some R&R pool time.

    Bugs!

    One star, if only.... With an establishment this big, you would think their customers service would be top notch. The amount of money people spend here for rooms, gambling and restaurants, a little appreciation would have been nice. The last thing we all want to worry about is finding bugs and whatever unsanitary conditions in our room. You expect to walk into a clean and sanitized space where you could lay your head down and not have to worry about little critters crawling around. Well that's exactly what I've experienced. BUGS.... How would feel seeing that in your room. Coming in to lay down and relax after spending good money at your establishment. And waking up to little critters crawling next to your head. Wtf... That's the last thing you expect to experience. Waking up the next day with bugs crawling next to your head. Not only that, more throughout the sheets. Even with pictures and videos, yes they're alive. I would say something like this is major. From the bugs, what else could this room be hiding. Was it not cleaned. Was sheets not checked and just dusted over. The last thing you want to do is be in your room let alone knowing that you are more than likely going to have to get rid of everything. Apparently all the rooms are sold out as I was informed at the front desk. They could get me a suite but that wouldn't be for hours. With a massive chains like this, you know spare rooms are often saved for an incident. Last thing I want to do is head back to my bug infested room. You would expect customers service to be a priority for an established as this. People spending good money and yes, I have. To then have to experience something involving BED BUGS. Do better....

    Had a nice time at Harrahs although it was pretty quick. Gambled a litte, had lunch at KJ Chinese, then gambled a little more. Haha we arrived around 10:30am, gambled til 12pm and ate lunch. After lunch gambled a bit more lost $500 them decided to call it a day. All in all it was a nice enjoyable Sunday trip to Harrahs.

    It has been YEARS since I last came back to Harrah's Resort Southern California (once known as Harrah's Rincon) The rooms are good for what they are comfortable big and a good size bath tub and shower.... Clean and no issues in the room. Bed was comfortable and everything is pretty decent.... Stayed there for 2 days in the middle of the week. Didn't try any restaurants and mid week the casino wasn't that busy.... I played a little each day. Probably would come back again if in the SD area....though it is still about 35 to 45 minutes out of the way.

    I'm a Caesars Rewards member, so I really wish this hotel could better compete with the other local casinos. There are several nearby properties that offer better restaurants, a wider selection of slots, nicer rooms, and more rewarding loyalty programs. Because of that, I often find myself visiting other casinos, even though I would benefit more from earning Caesars Rewards credits at Harrah's. I'd love to see some improvements that would give loyal Caesars members more reasons to choose Harrah's over the competition.

    This isn't our favorite casino but it works because they have the lazy river that our kids love. The only reason we came here is because our favorite casino, Pechanga, was fully booked due to Manny Pacquio's son fighting there this weekend. So, my wife got comped rooms here for us to bring the kids for spring break. The suites are nice and the beds are pretty comfortable. They do provide a full mini fridge unlike other casinos that have the fully stocked fridges, where if you move something in it, they charge you. They also have several restaurants that are decent plus a Starbucks that's open until midnight on Friday and Saturday nights. They have everything from Mexican, American and Asian but the only drawback is they don't have any seafood restaurants. Hell's Kitchen does have seafood but it's expensive. If you're looking for a quick bite, there is an Earl's sandwiches and a Smashburger for some quick fast food (it's not really quick though because everyone is there). We booked two rooms and our suite wasn't ready until 8pm so they upgraded us to the Surfside suite which was cool. However, we had to all hang out in the normal room for a few hours until they finally upgraded to the higher suite. Overall, Harrah's is cool but Pechanga is our go to in this area. If you have kids they will love the lazy river. Get there early if you want a place to sit. OOO 3 out of 5 Afros

    If this doesn't speak enjoyment I don't know what does!

    "The cafe" at Harrah's was great. Went on a super busy duly booked hotel weekend so you know things got crazy. I will say the color scheme and ambience was giving relaxed vibes. The line moved quickly. We were seated at a booth and quickly attended to by our server. I appreciate that the menu wasn't overwhelming, nice and simple classic. Food came out quicker than I anticipated and I don't know what it was but my Arnold Palmer was so refreshing. I would definitely come again IF I was planning to make the loooooooooooooooooong trek out to Harrah's.

    Thina C.

    This is such a great spot for a quick getaway where both adults and kids can enjoy some fun, relaxation, and peace. The vibe at Harrah's is genuinely calming, and I especially love the stunning views from the hotel. The boys had a fantastic time at the pool and lazy river, making it a fun and relaxing experience for everyone! There are plenty of dining options to match different tastes, and the staff are exceptionally friendly and welcoming.

    My husband and I enjoy our visits to Harrahs SoCal. The hotel is clean and spacious inside. There is plenty of parking in the garage. The rooms are decent. The bed is a bit too hard for me. Even-though it's a smoking casino, the ventilation is good. They offer complimentary water and soft drinks. I enjoy playing the slots. They have a variety of restaurants. We like Hell's Kitchen and Smashedburgers. The cafe is decent. If you're in a mood for a swim, there is a lazy pool. However, it gets busy with kids. I like they have a separate adults pool and there's a swim-up bar. It feels like you're on vacation. During this visit, I had the opportunity to use their spa. I got a pedicure and it was excellent from Tracy. We will return.

    Agustin R.

    First time staying here and I definitely had a really good time they have 2 pools for adults only with a swim up bar . The one close to the bar is kinda small but they have 2 jacuzzi's next to it and the other pool is was bigger and deeper with lots of chairs the kids pool has a lazy river but you have to bring your own tubes to float around the pool. Inside the casino they have plenty of options to choose from for dining .the rooms where really nice and clean and the parking is free I'll definitely be coming back soon

Our guide Jorge was funny and very easy going. The ride overall was really fun!! During our ride our guide also took pictures of us and he took some awesome ones with amazing backdrops! The only complaint I have was that I only booked us the 1 hour ride. Next time we are doing the 2 hour ride for sure! And maybe the Big Bear location as well.
