Barona is one of the best casinos in California and certainly can hold its own against Nevada. The road up to Barona from Lakeside is not nearly as bad as some people have said. I travel it frequently both night and day. The road to Pala is much worse as are many of the other Indian casinos. I can pretty well drive a constant 50 mph on the Barona road with an occasional slow down.

I Love Barona Valley Ranch. Ever since my husband and I have discovered them we try to get down there at least every couple of months or so. We have even brought many of our friends and family members. It's just like being in Las Vegas without the long drive especially since we come in from the South Los Angeles area. The one and only downside to Barona is driving that intimidating moutain road into the Valley which is best travelled during the day. Hopefully, something can be done to build a safer road into the Valley.

This Casino has one of the best Buffets in town or any town for that matter. If you are a senior as we are, go on wednesdays. After you register you will be given a coupon which gives you the Buffet for half price ($5.00). You also will recieve a coupon for the slots ($5.00). If you cash out the coupon at the slot, then cash out the retun coupn at the cashier you will recieve ($5.00)hence tne cost of the buffet is ($0.00).

Barona Casino is in a beautiful location and quite nice.  The number one treasure of this casino is the friendliness of the staff.  I don't believe I have ever been to a more friendlier place!!!  The buffet was awesome, and take notice at some San Diego Hotels that offer brocheres to get a coupon for the buffet.  The only problem was the slots were kind of tight but we had a great afternoon!  The road is rough,but not all of California is freeway.  It is very easy to drive if you just take it easy!  Practice your space cushion in front of you and you will have no problems.

The Club was right next to the door. It is very big and well laid out. I had a steak at Branding Iron Café, which was good and had a good price. I went to Barona Casino after receiving several recommendations that it was just like Las Vegas and worth visiting. I agree it is worth a trip. Driving the road out at night is not very nice. They have many dollar machines and I did play some on a 10-cent machine. The most fun I had was playing the horseracing machine for 0.25. I plan to go back when I have more time.

I have probably visited Barona 200+ times going back several years. We also spent 4 fully comped visits to Barona stayig in the hotel. Barona has an excellent variety of machines. They are definitley looser than Las Vegas. I am a way ahead over the whole time. The casino is large and nice, excellent parking. The biggest downside is their player's club. They favor the frequent visitor over one that visits less often but gambles a lot more money. Restaurants, including the buffet are mediocre and over priced.

The casino feels like Vegas. The staff is friendly and my wife and I have some luck with the slot machines. The facility is clean. The buffet is great.

The only downfall to Barona is that the road to the casino is very dangerous. There have been several fatal accidents on the road. If the road is closed, you will have to turn around and drive several miles to come in from the other direction. Barona should build a NEW ROAD from hi way 67. Thank God they do not serve alcohol in the casino.

Had a great time at Barona. Spent 2 nights the rooms are very nice. Husband said the golf course was fair. The service good. No alcohol served because of the dangerous road. Food at buffet was very good wide variety. Lots of machines.

Barona is a nice place with their relatively new casino, golf course, parking structure, and eating places. I like to play the slots and the people are friendly. Only drawback is the road leading to the place, is one of the most dangerous roads in San Diego County. All in all, Barona is probably equal to the other casinos in Californioa.
