Harrah's Resort Southern California (formerly Harrah's Rincon) is an Indian casino and hotel in Valley Center, California. It is owned by the Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians[3] and operated by Caesars Entertainment.
Hotel rooms[edit]
The hotel has three towers: Dive Inn (formerly Garden Tower, opened in 2002 and renovated in 2004), Resort Tower South (formerly Spa Tower, opened in 2004 and renovated in 2015) and Resort Tower North (opened in 2014). There are 662 rooms in the Resort Tower South and Dive Inn and there are 403 rooms in the Resort Tower North. The casino consists of 1600 slot machines and 51 tables, including eight poker tables. The architects for this casino were the Steelman Partners of Las Vegas, NV, providing interior and lighting design.[4]
The resort also includes a spa and nearby Woods Valley Golf Club. The North and South Towers includes non-smoking and smoking Luxury rooms, as well as the La Jolla suite (2 rooms on each floor of the South Tower and the majority of the rooms on the 20th floor of the North and South Towers), 4 Coronado Suites total on each floor which includes a balcony with a table and 2 lounge chairs facing east (South Tower) and north or south (North Tower), Catalina suite which is exclusive to the renovated South Tower and features 1 king and 2 queen beds, extra space and 2 lounge chairs and a table on the private balcony facing west and the 'Mayoral Suite' located on the top floor of the South Tower. In 2017, the resort introduced 'Resort Wellness Rooms and Resort Wellness Suites' located on the 2nd floor of the North Tower which has Vitamin C infused showers, bathrobes and slippers as well as exercise equipment in each room. The rooms are also in close proximity to the fitness center on the 2nd floor of the South Tower. Dive Inn includes non-smoking and smoking Deluxe rooms with a small balcony. The Palomar Suite is the smallest suite in this tower while the larger Laguna and Malibu suites include a private small heated pool outside the room. Rooms on the first floor facing the pool also have a private balcony with lounge chairs.
Expansion[edit]
On November 1, 2012, construction began on a $160-million expansion that included a new 403-room hotel tower and a 23,000 square foot convention center, which can be converted for meetings, concerts, and other uses. The project also consisted of many other expansions, including a renovation of the pool area featuring a lazy river and swim-up bar, a food court comprising Earl of Sandwich and the reopening of Pink's (now Smashburger), a Starbucks location, Corked (featuring regional premium craft beers), Spiked, and Rita's (an indoor/outdoor Mexican restaurant). The lazy river, swim-up bar and pool restaurant were completed during the summer of 2013, while the convention center and the bar Corked were completed by December. Starbucks opened in early 2014. The new hotel tower was partially opened in March and fully open by April 2014, bringing the resort's total room count to 1,065, making it the largest Indian casino resort by room count in the state of California at the time. Spiked and the food court also opened in April. The entire project was officially completed on April 18, 2014.[5] Upon its grand reopening, the resort was renamed Harrah's Resort Southern California.[6] In 2015, after the expansion, the south tower was modernized to mimic the newer north tower.

Visited on June 5th. Parking area confirmed to be large, level, well lit, walking distance from the casino, with shuttle service and security patrolled.
Do not park here on a Saturday night…they have a gangsta rap party at the pool, right across from the only lot allowed to be used by RVer’s, the party started at 9pm sharp and did not end until 2am sharp no way to get any rest.
Food was fine in the café. There’s a buffet starting 14 June. The attitude of all employees it was terrible
Visited Harrahs at Rincon Valley. California. No problem staying overnight. They welcome the overnighters - just have to camp in the paved parking lot that the buses use but they are gone at night - just coming and going all day. Only one truck was there during the 24 hours we were visiting. Quiet at night.
First time visitors receive $20.00 in free slot play and $20.00 food coupon (per person)-just sign up for a Rewards card. We had Harrah Rewards cards from Reno but they still gave us the money & food coupons because it was our first visit to this particular casino.
Had GREAT food in the Cafe - large portions - had enough food for 2 meals each. Have a Poker room and table games. Happy Hour in the Sports Bar had good prices - just did not have any food the night we visited.
They are building an amphitheater where they presently allow overnight RV parking. They still allow parking unless they are having an event. Again you should call ahead to make sure.
I just returned from a 3 night stay in my motor home at Harrah’s Rincon in Valley Center California.
Harrah’s had a huge parking lot off to one side that seemed to be where the big rigs, buses and RV’s were parked. There were plenty of spaces and I found an end spot so I could put my slides out and not intrude on another space beside me. Not that it really mattered; the lot was about 10% full. I did find it amusing though when a big rig parked two spaces away from me for a night. Noise doesn’t bother me so it was just kind of funny.
I went into the casino and asked them if it was okay to stay in my RV overnight and they said it was no problem at all. The casino was much bigger than the previous one and had an excellent assortment of games in all denominations. I stayed in the parking lot with my jacks down, slides out and generator running at times for 3 nights without any problems. Although there wasn’t any security present to speak of, I felt perfectly safe.
If you’re looking for an RV friendly casino, this is the place to go.
