Harrah’s Resort Southern California

Harrah’s Resort Southern California Review

It's always sunny in San Diego and now the sun shines brighter at Harrah's. With the completion of a $150 million restoration project and the addition of a 21-floor hotel tower,  the room count here is now over 1,000. Meeting facilities have been expanded too and Harrah's Rincon, now called Harrah's SoCal has expanded the pool area two-fold and added two restaurants, new nightspots, a spa, fitness center, two retail shops, and California's first Topgolf Swing Suite. 

The casino here is over 59,000 square feet and hosts more than 1,600 slots, 61 table games, and a WSOP poker room with 12 tables that hosts a WSOP circuit event every December ten years running. Entertainment options include The Event Center for national acts and headliner concerts. The new pool complex has a lazy river, 9 hot tubs, and 21 cabana rentals, not to mention SoCal’s only swim-up bar. Dining options run from Smashburger to the upscale Fiore Steakhouse with plenty of choices in between. Harrah’s Resort Southern California is located in Valley Center, California and open 24 hours daily.

‘Ritas Cantina

• Serving: Mexican

If hadn't guessed, "'Rita" is not the purveyor's name at ‘Ritas Cantina, but there is a lot more to this establishment than frozen concoctions made with the finest agave tequilas. Try the tacos or a Baja shrimp cocktail for starters (all washed down with your favorite 'rita or beer). The crab enchiladas sound pretty appealing as does the Braised Beef Barbacoa. Top off the meal with Horchata cheesecake served with cinnamon sauce and buñuelo chips for a truly memorable dining occasion.   ‘ritas Cantina is now serving breakfast every Sunday, 9am-12pm too.
