    Casinos near San Diego

    Hi

    We will be going to Harrahs Southern California -Rincon for the first time. BF using his 7 star trip from 2015.

    Are there any other casinos that are worth visiting while we are there?

    Any other things that are must see or do?

    I have been to San Diego once but a very long time ago.

    This is going to be a very short trip.

    I'm hoping to meet up with @SoCalRob if he is available.

    Thanks for any feedback!

    As far as casinos go, I would have to recommend Pechanga, but honestly there is so much to do in San Diego besides gambling

    Thanks Pat - any recommendations for non gambling activities?

    We drove up the Pacific Coast Highway.. it is beautiful.. driving through LaHoya seeing the Bentley dealership was a little Surreal. We did not go to the Zoo.. it was in our plans. We did spend a night down in the Gaslamp area. Great people watching.. good food. We also went to a Padres game.

    I was raised in San Diego, got married to my mid-west husband in San Diego and immediately moved here to Chicago some 43 years ago. When he was in the Navy everyone told him to take the bus to the beach. They said he could catch the LaHoya bus right outside the base gate. Well out he went and stood for 2 hours waiting for the LaHoya bus to pass. He soon gave up. He said he only saw buses going to LaJolla none to LaHoya. To this day I love him but remind him of his mid-western upbringing.

    There are a lot of things I don't know and he reminds me of them but I get to tell him that LaJolla is the proper spelling. What does he know, he took German in high school.

    ps..... please don't take this as an offense - it is a loving story I like to tell - he just was never exposed to the Spanish language.

    And it is a beautiful drive!

    This makes me laugh real hard - my first time SD, probably age 17 saw the sign on I-5 and called it La Jolla (With a J as in Jolly, rhyming olla as in dolla make you holla)- had no idea where the heck LaHoya was either except it was near Black's Beach HHH...
