It took me less than 10 minutes to walk around the gaming area of slots and table games. I was surprised at how small the casino was. During the Memorial Weekend I drove from the Bay Area to here on a Saturday and arrived at 11:40AM. However there was no charter bus service to Harrah's Northern California when I went there. When I go to Indian casinos I prefer taking a bus. However there doesn't need to be any Indian casino in California to partner with Caesars Rewards as Harrah's Northern California opened this past April. Besides gambling the other way I get points through my Caesars Rewards Membership is dining at restaurants or watching live events through the Caesars Rewards Partners. There has not been an Indian casino that partners with Caesars Rewards. As a Thunder Valley Rewards Member I get discounts to MGM Resorts hotels such as Bellagio, The Mirage, New York-New York, Mandalay Bay, Luxor, Aria, Park MGM, and MGM Grand, but I've never stated at any MGM Resorts hotels. Not only am I a Caesars Rewards Member but also I am a Mlife Rewards Member.

In terms of benefits Thunder Valley Casino is my favorite Indian casino because they are partners with MGM Resorts.

(I also was comped when I stayed at Caesars Palace for 3 free nights in July 2017 when I won their 50th Anniversary Sweepstakes.) Prior to this year there were no Caesars Entertainment casinos in California so I would go to Indian casinos. Yet I've been comped while staying at the following hotels: Bally's, Harrah's Las Vegas, and Harrah's Reno. As a member I've received numerous discounts and stayed at the following hotels: Flamingo Las Vegas, Harrah's Lake Tahoe, and Harvey's Lake Tahoe. I've been a Caesars Rewards Member (formerly Total Rewards Member) since November 2011 when I signed up for membership at Caesars Palace Las Vegas.
