Booked a mini vacation at Harrah's SoCal. We arrived on a Sunday around 4:30 pm. Checked our bags with the Bell Desk, parked the car and checked in. No line to check in. We were greeted by Stephano but he did not seem very happy to be there so we didn't chat much. I booked a 2 queen bed pool view in the Dive Inn Tower and that is exactly what I got. Called to get our bags delivered and they were there in no time. The room has a small dorm fridge which is nice to have to keep drinks cold. There is a separate tub/shower. The tub is a nice size soaking tub. There is a lighted makeup mirror and a hairdryer. The toilet has it's own little separate room. The beds are so comfortable. You can open the slider door to view the pool and get some fresh air which we loved. Housekeeping does not clean the rooms during your stay but we never get housekeeping anyway...however we did call for clean towels a couple of times and they were brought up right away. Everyone we spoke to or asked questions were very friendly. We ate at Smashburger and the woman at the register was so sweet and funny. Would eat there again. Earl of Sandwich was ok. The sandwiches were so thin, hardly any meat on them. My turkey sandwich only had 1 slice of turkey!! Would not eat there again, not worth the money. We did have dinner at the Cafe and it was great. Service was great!! Would eat there again. The pool area is so beautiful. I like the fact that there is an adult side and a kid side. We like to relax at the pool and we did just that. The drinks are pretty pricey but good. You do need a pool pass to get in so make sure you get them when you check in. The casino is fun, lots of slots to choose from and lots of table games. It is a bit smokey but there is a no smoking section too. There is an outside courtyard area that has a big fire pit that we sat at every night with drinks. I even won $400.00 on Crazy money slot!! The only reason I didn't give five stars is because the Dive Tower is in need of a MAJOR renovation!! The room was clean however the furniture had duck tape on some it, huge scratches, tile was chipped, the dispensers that hold the shampoo and conditioner leaked all over the shower. The hallway carpet again was clean but needs to be replaced. Overall we had a great time and can't wait to go back...hopefully to a renovated Dive Inn Tower!!
