I stayed in a "Premium Room" in the Mardi Gras tower. While you will find far fancier rooms elsewhere on the Strip, my room was updated and VERY clean.
My room had a small balcony and overlooked the "Carnaval Court" which is an open-air nightclub venue. Some people would probably not like the fact that this leads to loud music blasting every afternoon and night and the sound coming through the walls/windows. However, I enjoyed some time hanging out in the room with the sliding door open, taking in the warm air and music.
I typically gamble at MGM Grand, so having a monorail station right off the back of Harrah's was very convenient.
I had several breakfasts at the buffet and all were good. The staff throughout the hotel were friendly and helpful.
Complaints? There is no Wi-Fi. There is supposedly hardwired internet. I found a cable sitting in the nightstand drawer, but I didn't see anywhere in the wall to plug it into. Not that it would work with an Ipad anyway. The water pressure was pretty weak, and the lighting in the shower area is poor. The entrance roads from the Strip to check-in are full of unmarked speed bumps everywhere, pulling in at night I think I beat my rental car's suspension pretty hard.
All in all, a fair value for the money on the Strip. Also one of the easiest Caesars properties to get comped rooms at through the Total Rewards program.
