Harrah's Rincon,  Saturday, 18 August 2007 A little furthur than Pechanga, but worth the extra drive. Good parking, comps, slot variety. I find it gets too crowded, because of all the people they bus in. They have a non-smoking room, but it is not self-contained. But the ceiling is so high, smoke is not too much of a problem. I've hit my largest slot jackpots all at Harrah's. $1,100 on a 5 cent Blazing Sevens and a $500 on Zorro progressive. Highly recommend this casino.

 Valley View Casino,  Saturday, 18 August 2007 One of my favorite casinos, just 5 minutes past Harrah's Rincon. Excellent buffet, great comps, free valet parking. Nice non-smoking room although it doesn't have the variety of machines in the main room. Slots pay fairly well and they give a lot of "free more-play credits" through the mail for Players Club members. My friend won $1,000 in the free drawing and I won $250 in another promo. Highly recommend this great casino.
