Still to come is the return of the popular Barona Banh Mi cart and a larger, relocated Barona General Store. Among the rotating choices are lobster bisque, albondigas, pho, clam chowder, pasta fagioli, potato leek and more. But even regular guests will be tempted to stay in the Welcome Home area: the newly expanded Barona Coffee Company showcases an array of gourmet pastries and sweets, while the air is perfumed by freshly baked cinnamon rolls.Īnd in a folksy offering that’s unique to local casinos, a homemade soup outlet serves six kinds of soup to eat in or take home. When visitors enter from the remodeled parking garage entrance or the exclusive, new Diamond-tier players’ club parking lot, they’ll be greeted by a hand-sculpted and hand-painted oak tree, a culturally significant symbol for the tribe.Ī VIP booth serves high rollers without them having to go into the main casino. The vast space, which Barona is calling the Welcome Home area, has 30,000 square feet of non-smoking gaming space, with 540 new slot machines and two table game pits.
Seemingly the most modest of the three expansions, there’s nothing understated about the size of Barona’s new casino floor.
