Information on Visiting Harrah’s Casino

Directions from Google Maps to 777 Harrah’s Rincon Way in Valley Center, CA 92082. Google Maps will likely recommend you take highway I-15 to SR-76. If you are driving north on I-15 from San Diego, you will find the length of the drive much shorter if you drag the blue route south on the Google Map so it exits at Centre City Parkway. Although the route is shorter, the time will remain the same because you will drive through the urban area of Escondido and then through the town of Valley Center. So, you have the option of taking the longer, but less crowded route or the shorter, but busier route.

Traffic – Traffic is heavy driving north on highway I-15 during weekday evening rush hour and south on I-15 when leaving the casino and resort during the morning rush hour. (Learn more about getting San Diego traffic updates.)
