As I have read in these reviews, Harrah's may be in the process of updating but you would never know it. My room was out of the 80's...good bed but everything else well dated. A/C did not work until they repaired it, mold in shower, waterstains on ceiling. Lobby area lacked any luster. For the money I spent, I certainly expected more from Harrah's. Look elsewhere if you can!

We got what looked like a recently renovated room. It was nice, the beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of room. The bathroom wasn't anything special, your typical shower/tub and vanity, but was plenty adequate for us. The elevators were quick and easy to locate. We didn't get to the pool, but we took a look at it one day and it didn't seem like anything specila, but would be a nice place to relax and swim. The location is excelent for North strip touring and we spent much of our time away from the hotel.

My husband and I decided to get away for a few days, so we booked three nights at Harrah's in Las Vegas. From check-in to check-out, our stay was a breeze. We stayed on the sixth floor in the Mardi Gras tower. The room was updated and spotless. It had a large HDTV ( also a flat screen in the bathroom!) and a view (although somewhat obstructed) of the pool area. We asked for an extra blanket and hangers, and they arrived within five minutes. The bed/pillows was super comfortable. My husband went to the buffet and reported that it was excellent.
No real down-sides, except that it's easy to get turned-around in the casino areas. Several times, we had to walk around until we found the elevators to our floor.
Harrah's is located right across the street from Mirage and next door to Imperial Palace. For $5/day, you can ride The Deuce, LV's public transportation, and go just about anywhere you want to go. It gets very packed during rush hour, but we were lucky and were always able to get on.

My husband and I stayed at Harrah's in the beginning of March and eloped! We go to Harrah's in Atlantic City so we were able to get really great rates on our room. When we got to the check -in I explained to the representative that we were planning on getting married and any upgrades they could provide would be very much appreciated. She said that she couldn't really do anything but then the rep next her was going on and on about this great room that she was going to put this older couple into and the mini bar and complete renovations, view, etc. .... So our rep told us that she was able to find us a very nice(renovated) room in I think it's called the Mardi Gras tower....one is renovated and one is not. She was very nice about it. Our room was on the second to the top floor with a view of Treasure Island and the Venetian. We had a king size bed, flat screen plasma and a smaller flat screen plasma in the bathroom(which was very nice). It was clean and very nice. We ate at Flavors buffet at Harrah's one night and it was pretty good but we were both intoxicated so it's not a fair judgement. We also ate at their cafe which was ok....had bbq chicken pizza. Their sports book is fun and inviting....not as nice as some of the other ones but unpretentious. The bartenders are really funny and nice. The cocktail waitresses at Harrah's are attentive, quick and really nice...they always say "have a lucky time" and really sound sincere about it. We rented a hummer one day and when we were waiting outside the front entrance to be picked up, we spoke with an extremely friendly and lovely Harrah's employee who hung out with us for awhile when were waiting. There are two starbucks in the hotel.....In the early morning there is usually a wicked long line at the one on the main floor so I would reccomend the starbucks on the second floor across from Toby Keith's. We won some money on the "go nuts" slot machine and then lost it in the sportsbook. Overall, we had a fabulous time in Las Vegas and I would definitely stay at Harrah's again when we go back because our room was super nice, the staff was great & it is centrally located.....you can't get a better location....you are literally in the middle of everything.
