Hotel overview
‘TINIS Olive the best ingredients all in one place — NOW OPEN. Harrah’s is the best resort and casino around. From the moment you arrive the staff is so welcoming and the go out of there way to assist you! The hotel rooms are large and clean, they are all upgraded rooms and the suites are unbelievable.
Despite its connection with an American Indian tribe, Harrah’s Resort Southern California(formerly Harrah’s Rincon Casino & Resort) is a pretty ‘standard issue’ medium to upscale hotel. There is a beautiful contemporary marble lobby, but, in terms of ambience, this hotel could be plunked down about anywhere with the name Marriott, Hilton or Sheraton.
Outdoor self-parking or in an adjacent garage is complimentary for all guests, but complimentary valet parking is available for everyone. If you’re staying in the hotel, definitely use the valet parking. To retrieve your car, simply scan your parking ticket at the kiosk in the lobby.
Hotel guestrooms
There are three towers — Resort North and South, and Dive Inn (formerly Garden). The four-story Dive Inn Tower rooms are slightly larger, and were renovated a couple years ago; the Resort Tower guestrooms are bright, spacious and well appointed, though not particularly distinctive. Refrigerators are standard in most rooms, but not all, though they are available at no additional charge; coffee-makers are in all rooms.
Casino overview
Harrah’s has an average medium-sized casino offering all the standard table games and the usual slots. Complimentary drink service is relatively frequent, but is limited to soft drinks, coffee and bottled water. There is a charge for all alcoholic beverages, and you cannot use Reward Credits to pay for your drinks. Dealers, slot attendants and servers all are extremely friendly and helpful.
The Caesars Rewards Center is open daily from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m.; on Fridays and Saturdays until 3 a.m.
