Spent the week at Harrah's in Las Vegas. The price was good and the room was nice. It was convenient because it's located in the middle of the Strip.
Stopped in at the Range Steakhouse at Harrah's Resort of a glass of wine one evening. We wanted to listen to music but not be blown away by karaoke in The Piano Bar. The Range was a pleasant surprise. They had a really terrific singer there the night we stopped by. We ended up staying for two hours and buying his CD. We had so much fun that we stopped back in on another night. We've had dinner there and it was very good.
We got the 24-hour Flavors Buffet too. If you get the Total Rewards card, you get $5 off the 24-hour buffet. If you just pay for it, you have to wear a wristband for the 24 hours. The only problem was that we didn't know that you had to go to the Total Rewards desk to get the cards. The cashier at Flavors buffet was very rude when she told us to go back to the Total Rewards desk. And, then the Total Rewards desk clerk didn't tell us that we each needed our own Total Rewards card. We were tired and hungry and when we tried to use the one Total Rewards card we got, we were sent back to the Total Rewards desk again by the Flavors cashier to get another one. Of course, the Total Rewards desk is on the opposite side of the casino from Flavors. It took us about 20 minutes to finally get what we needed to use the discount at the buffet. The buffet is fresh and has a wide variety of food. It was worth the trouble. They even have a gelato stand. The fried shrimp and the prime rib were both excellent. A lot of the vegetables tasted overdone and had an odd flavor. Stick with the salad.
The wait to check in was very long too. It took so long that a resort employee came and gave everyone in line to check in a bottle of water. Be prepared to wait. And, one person had to come back to reservations because the room he was given had not been cleaned. Oops! The resort shouldn't make a mistake like that.
Overall, the good outweighed the bad.
