Harrah’s So Cal Begins Expansion

Harrah’s So Cal Resort in San Diego, owned by the Rincon Band of Mission Indians, has begun a $14 million construction that includes the addition of the first tribal brewery in the area, new guest rooms and more dining. The addition continues the $160 million renovation that was unveiled in 2014.

Harrah’s Resort Southern California in San Diego County last month began a million construction on its latest expansion to include the addition of an in-house brewery, dubbed SR76; 22 new guest rooms with wellness amentias, four new meeting rooms; the smoothie restaurant Robek’s; and a new Asian restaurant KJ Chinese Kitchen.

There will also be a fitness center rebuild; spa renovations and a new nature trail.

The $14 million project is part of the casino resort’s most recent $160 million renovation that was unveiled two years ago. That included a new hotel tower, Spiked cocktail bar, Corked wine and beer bar, a convention and entertainment center and a new indoor/outdoor restaurant, ‘ritas Cantina.

SR76 will be part of Southern California’s burgeoning craft beer renaissance. It will be the first craft brewery owned by tribe in the area. It is named

after State Road 76, the original trail that ran alongside the San Luis River that the Tribe migrated along in past ages.

The 22 new and on-trend guest rooms added to the resort will be wellness-inspired amenities such as Vitamin C infused showers; yoga mats, aromatherapy; plush robes and slippers; and fitness equipment. 

Las Vegas-based KJ Chinese Kitchen will debut its second location at Harrah’s, fresh seafood, prepared by chefs trained in the authentic Chinese tradition.

At Robek’s they will serve hand-crafted fruit and vegetable drinks, smoothies, and juices.
