this is typically our hotel of choice since we get our rooms comped and it is the best hotel form the harrah's owned - hotels (which takes up a huge chunk of the strip).,,
for the most part, we enjoy our stay. certain towers have better rooms - so the augustus tower is the best one - altho they have nice upgraded rooms at the other towers as well. they are also scheduled to open a new tower soon and upgrade the rest.
the pools have been revamped - so there are more pool areas to lounge around. i have only seen this a couple of times, but they do have 'goddesses' passing out frozen grapes.
for gaming, they are more on the $$$ side, so if you are not looking to play big in terms of table games, you may want to visit a different casino. otherwise, the dealers are nice enough. it can definitely get crowded on weekend evenings.
for food - they don't have the best assortment. the high end restaurants usually have great reviews but the buffet, cafe and other offerings are a bit sad. i do like payards (see my review) for quick sandwiches to go and pastries. the food court is so-so but a better option than some of the restaurants. serendipity is not bad.
you also have the forum shops - which is nice to walk around. it has a mixture of your regular mall stores as well as high-end stores. also has a better assortment of retaurants.
we enjoy our stays here. partly because it's free...
