The very first hotel rooms that were built years ago at Harrah’s Resort Southern California are getting a $24 million top-to-bottom makeover that the resort hopes will invoke the feel of a Southern California beach retreat.
The renovation, which began in October and is expected to be completed by next summer, is the first upgrade since 2007 when the 203 rooms in what is known as the Dive Inn tower were last redone. All the rooms in the tower, a portion of which wraps around the Valley Center resort’s pool, will remain closed until the project is complete.
Harrah’s, though, has plenty of other rooms — 884 more — to accommodate guests during the closure.
