Within ten minutes I was happily pulling out a $240 ticket from the machine and was ready to go home the next day a tad bit richer.īut oh no.

All of the machines are state-of-the-art and as good as any Vegas casino. The nice sized casino has many nooks and crannies including a poker room, gaming tables, and a high roller area. I bypassed the line and headed out to the casino to win my soon to be millions. No privileged “Meet and Greets” for these guys, they put themselves out there for all of us. These seasoned pros put on such a great show and it was especially impressive that immediately after the performance, they walked right into the lobby to pose for photos and give out autographs. They got the audience in some of their routines which included a great opening bit featuring a cell phone on loan from one lucky participant.

This was an incredible evening of mind blowing tricks, thought provoking acts, and plenty of laughs.

The same can be said of their bathrooms where you could fit at least ten people in the shower stall alone.Īfter checking in and then a great dinner at the buffet, it was time for the Penn and Teller show. One of the suites has an enormous balcony that can easily accommodate a huge party. The beds are super comfortable and after three nights, it was hard to go back to my lumpy mattress at home. Through the years, I have seen every room this hotel has to offer and even though we had one of the smallest, it was still quite sizable. It seems so out of place.Īs well as the ticket to see Penn and Teller, we were lucky enough to get a few free rooms for the night which is always nice especially when the show starts at nine o’clock. To get there, you travel through a picturesque valley of rolling hills and meadows so it is always amusing when out of nowhere there suddenly appears this towering hotel and casino. One of many Indian casinos in the area, Harrah’s is owned by the Luiseño I ndians and operated by Caesars Entertainment Corporation. Harrah’s Resort is situated just about a mile from the 76 Freeway in Valley Center, a part of North San Diego County. So off to Harrah’s we go on a rainy night in Southern California. When I was a kid, I had every magic kit possible and I h ave always been, and still am a fan of card tricks. When I was offered a chance to go see the Penn and Teller show at Harrah’s Resort, I jumped at the opportunity considering that I’m a long time fan of magic.
