I stayed at Harrah's from August 17 to the 22nd. We booked our room right off of the Harrah's website for 49.00/per night. My girlfirend and I went with another couple, and the desk clerk made sure we were right across the hall from the other couple.

The room was great, except the bathroom door didnt close completely close all the way.

Toby Keiths has some great food. My gf loved the "freedom fries". Lunch is a good time to go there if you dont like country music. Later at night, they blast the country music.

The gambling at Harrah's and at other hotels on the strip can be expensive. There is no blackjack for less than 10.00 per hand. So if you are unlucky, it's easy to lose cash fast. You can play cheaper table games on Fremont street.

Right next to Harrah's is Casino Royale. CR has 1.00 beer and margaritas. Skip the beer, cuz it tastes horrible. My gf won money on the big wheel of fortune game.

Take the Monorail to the other hotels. Do not take the Deuce!!! The Deuce is always packed cuz it's so cheap. The monorail costs more but u get to the other hotels sooo much faster. So take the monorail and you'll see so much more.

The airconditioning is on sensors. We didnt have a problem, except one night i woke up sweating <probably cuz i hadnt moved for a couple hours>.

Overall, I had a great time. I would for sure stay at Harrah's again.

We have just returned from a 5 night 6 day stay at Harrah's in Las Vegas. We chose this hotel for price and location and were very happy with our choice. The hotel is centrally located on the strip - a walk either direction takes you to the more fancier hotels, but Harrah's was the most fun!! The Kareoke bar and duelling pianos were always entertaining. We gambled a little at each hotel and did not win a whole lot anywhere but did not loose our shirt either. We were in the Carnaval Tower, 5th floor, no view, but a very nice room, king bed and everything you needed for a comfortable stay. The pool was average, but was so hot that we didnt spend too much time down there except for an early morning swim. We would definately stay at Harrah's again, and would most definately recommend it to friends and family for future trips.

We have being staying at the Harrah's properties for the past 10 years, mostly at Harrahs. We have never had a bad experience at this hotel and usually have our rooms comped. The friendliness of the staff out weighs the slightly older feel of the hotel. The comps don't seem to be as good as they used to, rarely offered a free weekend night. The Venetian just sent us an offer for 3 free nights and most weekends are included. We will be going in Sept, and thinking this is going to be so much nicer than the other hotels , I will write a review when we return.

I stayed at Harrah's from August 19th to August 21st for the first two nights of my vacation. I had a comp offer to stay either here, Imperial Palace, or Rio but decided to stay here since the other two were already booked with the offer.

Room

The room was in the Mardi Gras tower, which is closer to the Strip and a quick walk away. It also overlooked the Mirage volcano pit (too bad it was under construction). I had an issue with the air conditioning because it would turn off if no motion was detected. This was especially annoying when trying to get a good night sleep and hearing a loud fan going on and off every 20 minutes. The sign in the room said that Harrah's was trying to be "green", but it is not efficient to keep turning the AC on and off. I can understand while you are out of the room in the daytime but not while trying to sleep.

Amenities

The pool is rather small and it was challenging to get a seat. It seemed like they had too many VIP seats that required an extra charge. The free shuttle to the Rio is a major plus. Good times were had at the Carnaval Court. The Total Rewards card is one of the best in the business and is valid at many casinos across the country. Very helpful staff.

Overall

The location is great and I would consider staying again if I had a comp. Stay here if you are looking for a reasonably priced room that is close to everything. They should do something about the AC in the room, though.
