Even though I was comped my rooms for 4 days at Harrahs I was really dissatisfied with the condition of the hotel. It is really run down. To say that the casino is smokey would by a gross understatement! I was a smoker and can tolerate some...but this place reeked of stale smoke....you couldn't stay there for more than 5 minutes without smelling like an old bar.
We checked in late on a Saturday nite...despite a guarantee of a luxury room....(which according to their website has a view of the strip)...we were assigned a handicapped room that was seriously in need of a makeover. The bathroom featured a hand held shower head with a drain in the middle of the bathroom floor...not very sanitary at best. I stayed with it due to the hour and went down the next morning for a new room. We were assigned a luxury room on a renovated floor...which was somewhat better but no view of the strip....whatever........
The hotel has a great location.....but the atmosphere was choking...the food was just so so...it was run down.....stayed at the Flamingo the year before on the same kind of deal and had a GO Room which was great!
The pool area was a joke.......It was a small pool with little or no atmosphere....compared to other hotel pools this was a 1 on a scale of 1-100. I would say if you are paying for a room at Harrahs...look elsewhere....if you are being comped by Harrahs properties.....look elsewhere....the place really needs a rest.
