This really should be a 5 star rating since we didn't pay a penny to stay here. But for the sake of a true review, I'll just pretend I shelled out the cash.
If we HAD paid for the two nights it would have only been $39 a night, granted it was for Sunday and Monday night in the middle of February. This is actually not a bad time to go at all; you don't have to deal with a massive amount of people and the weather was absolutely perfect. You know how CRAZY hot Vegas can get in the summer months?...when you step outside and you are already sweating and you think your skin is about to BURN OFF from the blazing sun? Well February is a far cry from that. You could go outside in your t-shirt, enjoy a light breeze but still feel a little sun.
Harrah's is a good place to stay if you want to be in the middle of the strip and don't care too much about staying in a fab hotel. It is what it is! It's a little dated, an old Vegas style hotel but it's clean and includes amenities like the ever important shampoo. It's happened too many times that I forgot shampoo and a hotel only gives you body wash. Only one thing that irked me was the placement of the TV in the room. It's in a cabinet very close to the foot of the bed. When you open the cabinet doors to watch TV, they don't go all the way back so it blocks your walking space to the other side of the room. GRR!
