However, I just learned today that all of this has changed considerably (more of this later in this review). One could get 20% off of the price if you have a Classic Club Barona player's card. This year during my recent visit in April, the price of the buffet was $29.99-prices are consistent across all meal times. Since 2003, Barona Casino expanded greatly to the current buffet and casino we see today, and prices were much cheaper than the current price. After my parents and I moved to AR, I started going back to this buffet almost each time I visit CA. up until October 1999 back then, the buffet and casino was much smaller, and was inside pink circus tents. My first visit to this buffet was in 1991 (I was a seven-year-old at that time) when I used to live in CA. I usually visit this buffet almost once a year because I love the huge variety and value of this buffet.
