We had a fun and super relaxing staycation at Harrah's So Cal. ‍ We stayed two nights. Here are our…read moreratings 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.

Valley view casino & hotel is tucked deep into Escondido with good gambling opportunities and great…read moreviews outside. Pros: the view here is picture perfect. It really has a valley view. The casino was pretty big and had smoking and non-smoking areas. The parking lot was big and had a lot of room a lot of space to fit any kind of vehicle you drive. Cons: Outside of the high roller room, there seemed to only be tables in one room for live dealers. All of the areas of the casino only had machines. Another con would be that it's very far from most of San Diego. This casino was about a 45 minute drive from La Jolla and once you get into the back roads, it could make 6 minutes feel like 20. Verdict: is the great casino in Escondido to go to if you live nearby or want to escape the hustle and bustle of San Diego. Overall, it was a very clean casino had everything you needed plus a buffet that I was not able to try. However, if I wanted to go to a casino closer to the main part of San Diego County, I would choose something else.

6/2 update: Lost $2500 just to see if the slots really were tight and yup it's true. I even played…read morethe popular slots like Huff n Puff, Dragon Link, Five Fortunes, Phoenix Link, Monopoly Express, and the new Monopoly board game. (I avoided the craps machines this time since they seem to seven out very often after 3-5 rolls.) All the slots took $500 each with either zero return or very abysmal $20-100 return (after already being down $500 so that's not even worth it at all). I don't even do small bets, I usually do $4+ spins on 2¢ denominations on everything so it's really baffling that I only get back less than 10% of what I put in. All of this was also within 2 hours so it's very concerning that you can lose huge amounts of money so fast. I even tried with $265 worth of moreplay since moreplay isn't supposed to negatively affect the machine but... Nothing. Nada. Zero features whatsoever. That's absolutely bonkers and makes no sense. The RTP really needs to be checked here and they need to change their slogan to "the tightest slots in San Diego". But hey at least I got a "free" baking dish set. What a joke 6/7 update: Came here again since my family loves this place. I checked my overtime play and wow.. I'm shocked. With $2500 down the drain from last week I only accrued $40. Wtf is that?? Yeah there's definitely no rewards or perks worth it to keep playing. I also lost another $115 in moreplay and another $150 in actual money. Again, ZERO features for $115 of moreplay, one feature on one slot that paid me $15 after being down the first $70 and then zero features on the second slot losing my last $70. Lost it all in 30 minutes. I don't understand how anyone is reaching the black card tier unless they're literally spending $20,000 every 6 months to maintain black card status. I've never once walked out positive or even breaking even. Either the RTP is seriously fucked here or I have 0% luck If I were to give 5 stars for something though, it would be for Kevin in the VIP room. Give that dude a raise or promotion for the best customer service Also minor note, it's funny that I'm still not recognized and get carded to enter the casino by the same security guards over and over despite coming here 1-2 times a week every week for 2 years now

The atmosphere is lively and they even have live bands on some days, which adds to the experience. Service can be a bit slower during busy times, but overall it's still a fun place to visit. Helpful tip: you do need to be a card member to access the buffet, so it's a good idea to call ahead to confirm details before heading over.

The "buffet" is very hit or miss depending on the day and time you go, and if you get a great…read moreserver. And I put buffet in quotations because it's not actually a standard buffet, but more of a sit down "all you can eat". You need to be at blue card level (2nd tier level) to gain access to the buffet but they sometimes will let new people or red cards enter if they aren't busy. There's also a mandatory $8 (recently raised from $7) tip per person that's dining. If you're not black card (highest tier) you usually have to wait 1-2 hours before even being called to get in line. Then you have to wait in line 20-45 additional minutes before being seated. Black cards get to skip the initial wait and go directly into the line to wait to be seated. Once you're seated you get to choose a soup, salad, or both and then wait for them to bring you the food. Then you have to wait again for your server or try to flag one down to place another round of orders. On average my family has noticed people usually only do the appetizer round, one or two main rounds, and dessert because of the long service times. My family averages around 4-5 main rounds so we sit there for 3-4 hours sometimes with the majority of that time just waiting. The service is the main reason I say this place is hit or miss. If you get a nice and attentive server then everything goes great, but some of the servers are very noticeably there to just do the minimum amount for the job and that's it. Some servers will listen to your orders and actually tell you what additional options there are (like for the lobster tails we didn't even know until months later that we could get it with garlic butter or different sauces on top of it), and some even go and get the food to bring directly to you if they notice you've been waiting too long. Others.. will look around and barely hear what you're ordering and get the whole plate wrong or forget items for your order, resulting in you only getting 2 or 3 of what you asked for instead of the whole 4 that you're supposed to get. Or sometimes the opposite happens where they bring 2-3 of the same item on one plate and none of the other items that you ordered. It's already bad enough that most of the time, the servers only come to your table every 30-45 minutes so you're waiting an incredibly long time just to get one plate of food. The best times to go are definitely the weekdays very early right when they open (if you're not a black card) and the worst times are Fridays and weekends. They also have a recommendation to not have groups larger than 4 because they either split you up or you have to wait an extremely long time for a table to accommodate your group (because they only have 2 tables for large parties). They honestly should just turn the cafe dining room into an additional dining area for the buffet since that space goes wasted after they close and the cafe is literally right on the other side of the wall of the buffet. We've been coming here every other Friday for the drawings for almost 2 years now and the service is so inconsistent but the food is great! There has only been one time I was served a rancid lobster tail and almost threw up in the dining area. The menu changed last month and we tried the new tenderloin, it was absolutely perfect. But then a few weeks ago we tried it again and it was served well done even though we all asked for medium rare (and that's the last time we ever ordered the tenderloin because of that). One problem that happened the other day though was that the people doing the seating weren't seating any of the black card line. There were 8 tickets lined up and only 4 for the other line, but they kept seating the other side and kept putting up a new ticket. The group in front of us had 2 disabled people waiting for 30 minutes (and one of them was missing a leg). I felt so bad for that guy. The explanation was that "we have to follow the timestamp on the tickets to seat people fairly" but hello??? We're not blind. No one was being seated in the black card line for 30 minutes, even small groups of 2 that were in front of us started complaining. I don't understand the "timestamp" bs because we can actively see people getting in the other line, paying waaaay after the 3 groups ahead of us AND us, and still get seated before us. A group of 5 that paid after us in the general line got seated before any of the 3 groups ahead of us. It was just ridiculous but was a one off bad experience compared to the hundred we've had but thought I'd mention it. We still love coming to eat here because the food is great and consistent and almost all of us are black card members so we get food vouchers, but the service definitely needs some improvement or at least consistency equal to the food quality.

We started with a hearty breakfast and coffee at Pala Cafe, which was awesome. The staff here is super friendly and stepped in to help whenever we looked lost. A hotel guest even went out of her way to tell us how much she loved her room stay. Game-wise, they have a good variety from penny slots to high rollers, plus a great mix of classic machines. Like any casino, the slots are hit-or-miss; some pay out a bit, others are tight. Although there's a smoke-free area, the smell lingers so I did see some people wearing masks due to the smell. We loved the outdoor patio with umbrella tables for a quick breather. Overall, we had a fun experience and will definitely be back!

Unfortunately, my family visited again this past weekend (June 4-7, 2026) and experienced another problem. This time, we were charged at a restaurant and sports bar that we never visited. As of today, no one from the casino has contacted us to apologize or make things right. We've spent hours on the phone with both our bank and the casino, with no meaningful resolution other than having to cancel our credit cards ourselves to prevent the charges from going through. We are extremely disappointed. Our family has been coming to Pala for more than 25 years, and it's upsetting to experience these issues. If these unauthorized charges are happening to other patrons as well, that is very concerning. What a shame to see a place we've enjoyed for so many years leave us feeling this way.
