Casino Pauma

Don't know about the 'detaching' comment from the 'supervisor' in his paragraph but if you have a trailer you will Have to detach to go do anything in the area. 2 days seems a bit limiting but there are other casinos in the area to travel too since you've already made the trip here. I only stayed one night on my way to Harrah's but got a good pic.. Other reviews are spot on as to food and environment !

A little hesitant to let out the secret of this little gem, this place is just right for what I want. The food and drinks are at a affordable price.Unlike the other Casinos in the area. There is a free soft drink station,a small deli and pizzeria,the pizza is great. A cafe with a pretty good menu and a special every night after 5 PM of Prime Rib 2 for $20 you can't go wrong there,it was great! Also if you like the adult beverages,Happy Hour from 5Pm to 7PM is not to be missed. The Buffet is priced right for lunch and dinner,about $10 cheaper than the other casinos in the area, and the menu changes every night.Checkout their website for the prices Lots of slots,they seem to be loose as anywhere I have been,maybe a bit better, and a small area for table games,all in all just right for a smaller casino, They seem to have a very good air filtration system,no smoke smell anywhere. To stay here just park,there is a parking area to your right as you come in, on asphalt it is well lit and level,each spot is about 40ft long or you can park in the huge hard packed lot next to it. You can stay 72 hours then be gone 48 hours and then return.Just go to the security desk at the entrance and sign in,you will have to have a Players Club Card,it's free. The Security Guards are really nice and informative,they also patrol the parking area quite often. I was there during the week and it was not crowded at all,now the weekends may be different. I will be back very soon.

Friendly staff. You still need to get a club card (free) and register. Large level lot with marked spots for big rigs. We are in a 24' B so parked a couple of rows over to get more away from the higher traffic lanes, but not much traffic. Would return if in the area again. (We didn't eat there.)

This review is to update/confirm previous reviews. We stopped here for dinner and an overnight stay while on the way to another campground. RV parking area is well marked, well lit, level and paved and patrolled regularly by security. We signed up for for the club card and checked in with valet booth to give our info (Rv info, plate, cell # for emergencies) The casino is smaller and well kept. Not too crowded. We played slots and they seemed about as "loose" as any other casino. The food (buffet and deli-window) is good and affordable. My apologies that I dont have exact prices, discount info and offers for the club card. But they occasionally do change and you can probably find them online or by calling the casino. We have this casino marked on our GPS as a "Will return" to place.

Rules have changed. Still check in with Security and complete a form- name, address, RV info etc. Stay is now 72 HOURS with a club card. Although they have a designated level dry camp area off the pavement we were told to park "anywhere" and there were rigs that parked on the pavement in the parking lot. Cars were disconnected. Very friendly casino- small but lots of action. The food is HALF the price of the other casinos in the area- Happy Hour is 4PM- 7PM. Will come back again......

Report from L. Smith, June 2008 We just spent Memorial Day weekend at the Pauma Casino. I am enclosing the picture so you can put it on your website if you wish. We called first and they said camping was fine. Three rigs traveled to the Pauma Casino on Friday May 23, 2008. When we got there we were told that they only allow two nights. I told them when I called ahead I had told the Security person that we need to be there for three nights. They were very nice and accommodated us. The area is to the left as you enter the parking lot. There is a long row of parking for RV's and Buses. We parked at the end farthest from the Casino. The lot is almost level and clean. There is security in the parking lot at all times. You are safe there. The area is beautiful. The casino is small, but clean and the food is consistently good. Pull up their website and you will find all kinds of good deals for senior discounts and a breakfast special every morning. The casino also has a good smoke removal system. The Pauma is only a short drive from the Pala, Harrah's Rincon and the Valley View Casino's. I recommend you get there early in the day as the parking area fills up in the evening.

Report from Dana H., January 21, 2008 Casino Pauma had a nice open parking lot and I could tell immediately that I wouldn’t have any trouble getting in and out. When I got closer to the lot, there was a sign that said RV Parking with an arrow to the right. I was pleased to see that they had a full row of RV spots along the edge with an empty field that was perfect for dog walks. (I didn’t have my dog, but made a note of it anyway) There was a few RV’s utilizing the RV spots as were quite a few cars. There was plenty of regular parking so there was no excuse for it. I made my way into the casino and everyone was very nice and friendly. I walked around a little bit and put a few bucks in their machines. I then realized that there were no high dollar slots. I usually play $1 and $5 and sometimes quarters. Everything seemed to be 1 cent and nickel slots. The place was a bit on the smaller side. I decided to continue on to the Harrah’s down the road and see what they had to offer.
