| - Harrah's was the place I went on my first trip to Vegas. For that it was perfect. It has an excellent location right in the middle of the strip and has all the amenities you would expect, however it is exceeded by nearly every other newer and bigger Hotel/Casino in just about every way.
The food at the buffet was high enough quality that the prices were very palatable. They have gelato at the buffet. I dunno if all Vegas buffets have gelato, but this one does.
Their poker room is fairly small, but the dealers are extremely professional and personable. The rest of their casino games are comparable to other casino hotels, though they did have a table or two of $5 minimum blackjack.
Finding your way in a car or on foot to the valet/cab stand is a real pain at Harrah's. Ass-backward is complementary to the byzantine layout in this regard. This doesn't affect the visitor's experience very much, but it surely bugs the cabbies.
Our room was 'fine'. Not super nice or super big, but it had a nice shower, a tiny balcony, 2 flat screen tvs and two soft beds. Because there were three of us, they gave us a rolling cot for the third which totally sucked. Don't get stuck with the cot.
From what I have heard, the prices here are pretty competitive, and they should be, since amenities at other places are better. Unfortunately, the fact that it is so close to other bigger and better hotel/casino complexes means that you will have a tough time earning your comps here when you could be at Caesar's, the Venetian, or any of the other awesome places nearby.
