SoCal Resort Adds Event Space with $160M Expansion

VALLEY CENTER, Calif.

Harrah’s Rincon Casino & Resort, located on the Rincon Reservation in northeast San Diego County, will unveil its newly expanded pool area and a new restaurant on July 13, 2013. The pool area and restaurant, named Dive and ‘ritas Cantina, respectively, make up the first phase of Harrah’s Rincon’s $160 million expansion.

 Dive will feature a trifecta of pools: Harrah’s newly renovated main pool, a brand new lazy river and Southern California’s only swim-up bar. Also debuting July 13 is Adult Swim Saturdays: a 21-and-up dayclub featuring world renowned DJs every week through September. In addition to three pools, Dive boasts nine hot tubs and 30 VIP areas including 21 cabanas and nine daybeds for guests to enjoy.

‘ritas Cantina will be a full-service indoor-outdoor Mexican restaurant featuring casual Baja-inspired fare and specialty margaritas using fresh, seasonal ingredients, including the Avocado ‘rita, Pepper Melon ‘rita and Cucumber ‘rita. The restaurant will include a food truck that opens up to the interior of the resort, allowing guests to order grab-and-go items.

Other elements of the Harrah’s expansion include a 23,000-square-foot convention and entertainment center, a new lobby lounge and a craft beer and wine bar, all opening by December 2013. Additional parking and a 403-room hotel tower, which will bring the total number of rooms on property to 1,065, will open in spring 2014, completing the expansion.
