In my opinion, Barona works harder in the absence of alcohol.

You will frequently see senior citizens sitting side by side with their 'grandkids' at this popular, award winning casino.

By California law, 18 year olds are allowed to gamble at dry casinos. Not only is the crowd a bit tamer, it is significantly younger. Barona is a 'dry casino' that limits alcohol consumption to hotel rooms and a few select areas of the casino. The real question is whether you need alcohol while doing it. With well over a dozen casinos in San Diego County and a hundred more in Las Vegas (about six hours away), there's no shortage of (gaming) entertainment options.
