Tucked into the scenic Barona Valley just northeast of San Diego, Barona Resort & Casino pairs a polished resort stay with one of Southern California’s most popular gaming floors. The property is proudly 18+ and entirely non‑smoking on the casino floor, with over 2,200 slots and 65+ table games ranging from player‑friendly blackjack to single‑zero roulette, baccarat, and a sizable electronic table games arena. Between sessions, guests can dine across multiple restaurants—steakhouse classics, Italian favorites, noodles, and casual bites—or unwind by the resort pool and fitness center. Golfers can tee it up at the on‑property Barona Creek Golf Club, a repeatedly honored course woven through the rolling foothills. Club Barona, the venue’s loyalty program, adds easy comp earning and VIP perks, and a limited‑access hotel welcomes eligible members for a quieter, nature‑framed retreat close to Lakeside.
