Harrahs Resort & Casino Review

Horrible service, horrible experience. Never again. Now I know why they advertise so much, no one goes to the 2nd class casino
...

I love harrahs. Its Mini vegas. The beds are so fricken great. Spiked bar is the best. Keno for life

The buffet was great. And I want on everything I played

It does not have the real stage for concert. Portable riser is used for the concert, the seat is not comfortable

Rooms are great and we were able to check in early at no cost. We really enjoyed the pools even though the lazy river was very crowded and guests were not very cool about sharing the available floaties. Not a fan of people being able to smoke by the pools. Casino had a non smoking area though Good options for food and good service. Only issue we had was when trying to get breakfast at the Cafe, there was a line and took about 20 minutes to get seated even though there were lots of open and clean tables.

Great casino, rooms, pool and food! The employees are great!

Had a great time donating a formidable portion of my paycheck to this place over the weekend

Had a great time at the casino watching the Super Bowl LIV. Stayed on the 12th floor with a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains.

Nice casino. It is my first time seeing a Harrahs casino in funner, ca. The only harrah casinos that I hear that is advertised is in Reno, Lake Tahoe, and Las Vegas. Those are the ones that I hear about, but now in Northern, Ca there is a harrahs now in Ione ca near jackson ca.

Great military supporter. Wednesday night buffet a family get-together.

The DJ was the worst it was supposed to be reggae and it was reggaeton for 2 hours and then popular songs turned into reggae finally started playing Bob Marley after 3 hours

First off they charged my friends crefit card 3 times for a deposit then the air conditioning when out in the room the gave us 100 cresit for breakfest then charge my friends xredit card again for the taxes from the 100$ that we didnt use the worst experience ever

We arrived on Friday afternoon to begin a nice Labor Day weekend. As we approached the hotel we saw smoke billowing from the building. When we got out of our car in the parking garage we heard someone saying something about a fire. We had to walk through the casino to get to the check-in counter. A loud recording was telling everyone to leave the building and lights were flashing. No one seemed concerned. Once we got to the front desk the woman checking us in said the fire was out, but the lights were still flashing and the announcement kept playing. We left the building to avoid getting a migraine from the flashing lights. Once it stopped they opened the elevators and we went to our room. The room was very nice. We were on the 15th floor and could see firemen climbing onto the roof which didn't make us feel very comfortable. At least 6 firemen got on the roof and approached the area where the fire had been (in a kitchen). As they poked the roof, smoke came out. They sprayed it with a fire extinguished. This happened a few times and then it seemed they thought it was out. We proceeded to the pool. We were unable to get a seat at the swim up bar so we sat at the other side of the bar. Immediately many bees flew around us and the bartenders. The bartenders said not to worry about them. I worried about them because I'm allergic to them. I had to move to a location away from the bees while my husband ordered food and drinks. About this time the fire lights and audio recording started again so he was told all kitchens were closed (again). We hadn't eaten lunch because our plan was to eat there--at the pool. We also had a hard time charging our drinks to our room because we didn't have our id. We've never been to a resort where we were guests and had to show id to charge to our room. Since the fire alarm was ringing again, all people were cleared from the gambling floor and they all came out to the bar area! Our relaxing afternoon turned out to be nothing like that. Once the alarm was turned off (again) we tried to order food from the bar. We were told it was too late to order food because it was 5:15pm. We would have to go inside. We did go inside and ate. We then went to a show (Norm Macdonald and Colin Quinn) which was the reason we booked a night in the first place. Norm Macdonald was so wasted he couldn't remember what he had planned to say. It was pathetic and unprofessional. A lot of people got up and left. Fortunately Colin Quinn was quite good but we paid to see 2 comedians, not one! After the show we went to our room and tried to order room service. It was 11:15pm and we were told it would take an hour to get food! So, my husband went downstairs to get something and bring it back to the room. He returned just shy of an hour later with a sandwich. He said the lines were very long because of the kitchen fire earlier. Suffice to say we did not have the experience we were expecting on many levels. I suppose if you got when there isn't a fire and you aren't expecting to get the show you paid for, you will have a nice experience there. Make sure you bring your id to the pool--something they should have told us when we checked in.

The place is very good, we had a great rest. !!!! Thank you ... !!! We will definitely be back ... !!!!!

They renovated most of the hotel, but still feels a bit dated in some areas. Coming on a weekday is a bit of a drag, as it's way too far of a crazy trek from civilization to go out for any area/ local activities. If you're not gambling or eating your 3 square meals at their more than decent buffet, choose lodging closer to San Diego for your entertainment getaway

Didn't win anything, but had fun, live music on the weekends!

Played the slots machine. Good day with my friends.

My boss won $3,700 in 20 mins best casino in Southern California

Bars are closed for no good reason. No good restaurants anymore. Can't get coffee in the room anymore. Won't clean the room as long as you are staying.

No free Wi-Fi, pay for everything and everything is expensive. Service was poor.

Room was very nice, gaming about what you would expect.

The buffet is very good with fresh fruit and many different stations, sushi, mexican, chinese, italian, etc. The deserts are delicious. Periodically, the service can be improved. I would recommend this buffet and is reasonably priced.

Harrah resort is quite a drive for me because I'm coming from Orange County, California . After checking into the hotel, I received a text from Ivan asking me if I needed assistance to text him. I felt like I had my own concierge. The rooms are very nice and clean. I had a great view of the pool area.The king size bed is very comfortable with lots of fluffy pillows... I got a great night sleep. The bathrooms are very spacious. I had awesome stay.

Nice selection of slot and table games, friendly staff.

Awesome place for a pool party, can't beat delicious food and drinks pool side!

Food vouchers after playing keeps an addict alive to keep gambling. Rooms are nice and the room I had had a great view. Pay for wifi, are you serious!?

Awesome place seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Friendly staff, great amenitits. WILL go back when in So Cal

The Best:

Beautiful Pools & Lounge area Layout

Fun Lazy River ever

Swim up bar which did not require walking..

Grt place .. alot closer then vegas and as a Diamond player treated much better .

Well run casino, my in-laws always want me to bring them here when they are in town

Very far from me, but also really nice. The events center is very nice

WORST Customer Service! first time visiting and definitely the LAST! Reservations were a DISASTER! Concert was RUINED by an employee on a power trip!

I love everything about this hotel, relaxing time at the pool (heated lazy river pool), satisfied with food (love their buffet)love their machines , I can't complain everytime we come here...
Thanks to my Casino Host, she is awesome! One of the best! Thank you Eunju for my wonderful weekend, I will see you soon!

Beautiful hotel, friendly staff. But not much around the resort. Food was decent at best. Few restaurants like smash burger (not bad), streak house was a bit overpriced for the quality but was probably the best meal we had. Also the Buffett looked better than it was.

Loved our suite! Wish there was less smoking allowed!

Always a good time, even when we don't leave 'winners'!

I, always played cards game as(poker, black jack) here.

Casino was different from what I'm used to as every game (roulette & craps) has to use cards to determine the outcome

Harrah's has one of the BEST budgets here in the SoCal casino chain.. The salt n pepper cream was to die for! And they have a game Big 6 that you're sure to win something.. I LOVE IT!

Loved it! Great Casino. The most delicious and pricy room service to die for! A+ Elegant Gala we went to. Rooms are nice, elegant with great view! Can't wait to see you again Harrah's.

This chingon and fun roulette just care that chinga

The food was tasty and delicious. Our service was excellent and the staff was extremely poite yet engaging. The overall cleaniness was superb.

Good food, great variety.
This was my first time at the buffet. Gret!

Love Harrahs! Its very relaxing! Loved the lazy pools! It wasn't crowded at all when we went! The room was clean! The buffet is the only thing I have to complain about. The regular line wouldn't move because as soon as a table would free up they just pass the "casino members" ahead instead of alternating.

Love this place. Great pool and lazy river. WiFi is $12 a day.

Went there Friday night thinking it would be a nice dinner and play some games. I was wrong. The food at the buffet was old some even taste s little past its freshness date! I had prime rib some soup they called mashed potatoes and i tried a crab leg just to see if they were fresh, i was dissapointed. Then i went back for more, i tried the pozole soup. It tasted like it was yesterdays soup the homeny wasold and soggy, the egg rolls tasted rotten as well as the fried rice. For being a big Casino they sure do fail in the kitchen. I wont return. The table games were ok just ok. The slots were good altho i didnt win a dam thing

Beautiful property that reminds me of being in Las Vegas. Love the 2 pools for swimming & tubing. Great food, drinks & gambling... what's not to like!

One of my favorite casinos in the area. Lots of choices for gambling here. Food is good and parking is plentiful. Haven't stayed in the hotel yet, but it looks pretty nice.

The Rincon Tribe does one of the best jobs and delivering a very high quality facility! Everyone is always friendly and eager to help.

Harrah's has been my go-to whenever I want to take a day to just have fun. Of course, the casino is always a blast, but this resort is also great fun for non-gamblers as well. There is an excellent spa, great shopping, a variety of delicious restaurants, and the famous lazy river. If you're staying overnight, you can expect a spotless room complete with the best showers I've experienced with a hotel, and excellent service. Its location is also great; just off of Valley Center's main road and within a half hour drive to the beach, Legoland, and the Dan Diego Zoo Safari Park.

Love love this place like to gamble there . Best pool in the area

Very nice hotel and casino.. they have a lazy river and a nice pool.. you have to wear a mask tho. I didn't win anything in the casino so hopefully you have better luck! Great place for the whole family.

I definitely would refer a friend 5 star Hotel without the the 6 hour drive to Las Vegas !

Absolutely love this casino hotel it is one of California's finest

Nice place to get away and I mean away! It's in the middle of nowhere. Friendly workers only thing negative is that while you're gambling they only serve you 1 drink at a time while all Casinos serve you 2 at a time.

people friendly super services place are very beautiful

The pools are great because it's 21 and over but they do have a section for children love to vacation there

Staff super nice. I liked the lazy river. Coming back soon

Visit Harrah's often and always have a positive experience. Rita's Cantina has great food and Sean is an excellent server. The premises are super clean. Casino floor employees are always friendly and the table games I like to play are always open. Harrah's is a place I return to again and again.

The suites are nice but there was black stuff that came out of the jets of the jacuzzi tub.

Went to see a concert which was in what looked like a ballroom with table chairs. The sound was good. Dinner at the Cantina was decent, not exceptional.

A little out the way coming from central SD. Nothing really stands out good or bad about this casino vs all the others.

Had a ton of fun playing the slots, can't wait to go back
