Harrah’s Las Vegas Hotel & Casino

I’m writing a review literally for just checking into the hotel. They have 3 persons open for the executive guests, and one person open for everyone else. I’ve been in line for an hour and a half. It’s one of the busiest weeks of the year, and their hotel is fully booked. Why would they have such poor organization? Take into mine it’s my first time in Vegas. Way to take away from the experience and take away a lot of my time

Rooms are quite run down. Yes they have some remodeled ones at a premium price.
1. No Fridge or Microwave in the room.
2. Missing wall decorations/​framed art. Just bare hooks on the wall with nothing hanging.
3. Dirty sheet. gross. Had some weird pasty makeup streaked on it. right near my face as I pulled the sheet up to sleep.
4. No remote for the smaller TV in the bathroom.
5. The mini-​bar fridge is being removed at the moment so it looks like construction zone when the cabinet under the main TV is opened.
6. The sink stopper got stuck in the plug position. Never seen this in my life at any hotel or home. We were leaving the next morning so just worked around it.
I guess the price wasn’t so bad though, came out a bit over $ 60 a night.

I blindly booked this room on a last minute, budgeted trip. I used HotWire. I’m not gonna lie, I wasn’t sure what to expect and was nervous… mainly because I’ve never had anyone say to me «you HAVE to stay at Harrah’s in Vegas!» Not only that, I’ve been to Harrah’s in Louisiana and it wasn’t anything too amazing.
The arrival was a horrible experience. We got there in the wee hours (about 3am) of Saturday morning and stood in line for well over an hour (probably closer to two and it was that way ALL night — we walked around a few hours prior thinking it would get better but it didn’t) with only about 3 hotel clerks working the desks. I think it was a combination of our frustrations combined with the fact that we didn’t really have TWO whole nights to stay since we arrived later than planned that we were treated so wonderfully. I also feel it has a lot to do with the way we spoke to the desk worker. We were frustrated at the line but also showed empathy towards the young man (I cannot remember his name — I wish I could — I think Evan, maybe?) because people were just being loud, belligerent, Vegas assholes. It’s not the desk workers fault, they’re doing what they can with the resources the have.
Let’s just say, we were very well compensated for our troubles. The executive suite at Harrah’s has been the best room we’ve stayed out and we frequent Vegas quite regularly. I don’t know why they have such low stars but I was highly impressed. I look forward to having a strip view next time — although, the mountain view was gorgeous!
We got to our room just in time to watch the gorgeous sunrise and take a nap. Yes, sunRISE.

Has a great time!
Rooms are clean. Staff is very friendly. Casinos are too much fun! Well slots are too addicting! Close to major hotels and on the strip!
Didn’t try the buffet but the next time I come, I definitely will!
Overall, everyone was friendly, my room was clean and felt safe. The pool area was fun for my boys, and myself as well. Clean and fun!

I know Harrah’s has a reputation for being old and janky but wow the Carnaval South tower probably has to be one of my favorite rooms in Vegas. Everything is really nice and updated and picture perfect albeit a little small. The casino is clean and doesn’t smell like stale cigarettes.
Honestly I have never really explored the rest of the hotel but the Carnaval South rooms really make this hotel for me.
Location is not great but not bad. We end up taking a taxi every time we leave or return.
Valet has also been pretty quick and more importantly available.
Not sure what there is to eat here. My friends swear by this Oyster Bar but I will always swear by Palace Station’s.
Overall, good value for the price.

Ok so I’ll give this place 4 stars and not less because of the cleanliness. It was pretty clean «all other stuff that happened considered».
1– crazy neighbors at all hours of the night breaking things and slamming doors. Had to finally yell for them to just SHUT UP. Not hotel’s fault though.
2– kinda gross view and outside of window dirty towels and cigarettes. At least outside and not inside. Hahahaa
3– refreshed rooms. Hmmmmm. Not ours. I guess we got the part of the hotel that was still ancient and had green hallway carpet.
Ok but on a serious note. The nice part.
1– staff at all of the food courts were super nice and friendly as well as housekeeping
2– lots of food selection from inexpensive to a little expensive.
3– pool was fun and DJ great along with lots of stuff to look at
4– no gross flower bedspread. That’s a plus for me. All white sheets and no weird stains
Overall not too bad for being on the strip and within walking distance of everything.
I’d come back when all the rooms are done and updated!!!

It was my first time staying here and I wasn’t expecting much.
I stayed in the new renovated rooms and they were nice. Bed were comfortable, and so many lights which was perfect for getting ready! The bathroom was pretty nice but I had two issues with it. 1. the shower had no door and that was awkward. 2. the toilet did not have a handle but a button to push down. I had issues pushing that button down but that could just be human error ;)
Minus one star the long unorganized check in line and for «Jason». While my cousin and I were waiting in line. (There were two lines, I checked in online and wasn’t sure which line to stand in).“Jason” came up to us and basically asked us why were in line (with thee worse attitude), and we explained how we checked in online and wasn’t sure which line to stand in. This fool just walked I mean sashayed away from us and my cousin and I were left speechless. I don’t know if he was having a bad day or what but his attitude was un called for.
Overall I would stay here again, it was def worth the price and of course the location is perfect!

Only gets a two star because of the location on the strip. The hotel was beyond basic in its setup, AC didn’t immediately turn on after we got to the room and left so I thought give it a few hours and it’ll be ok. After getting back to the room in 6 hours in 106 degree weather we walked in and the hallway was cooler than the room. Now we wait for a worker to come up and reset the thermostat.
As I sit here I notice the closet door doesn’t close and it just hangs open and the latch lock on the door is extremely loose, AND the mini fridge doesn’t even work.
¹⁰⁄₁₀ would not stay again.

Never cease to amaze even someone like me… First the start and the cliché teamwork mention. However tacky it’s refreshing and goose bump worth when you see people like Maci, Tonya, Richard J and Sandra who are in separate departments act and work together professionally and with purpose. Makes a business owner like me inspired. I do also want to recognize the gentleman who I do not know how name but found my phone and immediately turned to lost and found. Well done sir. Thank you! Doing Whats right or an altruistic person like you is rare and I wish you nothing but great things!
I had left my cell phone as i left laying one a slot machine. I didn’t notice for approx 20 minutes. As I rushed back I was defeated as I saw if was gone. In steps the «team» Maci found Tonya and then Tonya took over and found me Richard j and Sandra. Then I had my phone. THEY Wouldn’t ACCEPT A TIP! Sure this is a policy to remove employee temptation but come on. I think they need recognition at least if I can’t tip. So Unilocal I use you to say THANK YOU to my Fantastic 4 and one mystery hero.

We only stayed 1 night at this hotel, but the carnival south king room we had was nicely updated. And it was the cheapest option for Memorial weekend at any hotel besides the Rio which isnt on the strip.
I did the self check in through the email i received, but essentially never got an email telling me my room was ready so i went and stood in the key line which took about 15 min.
The hotel is well ventilated until you get to the casino area then its really bad from all the smokers. Avoid that area if you dont like smelling like an ashtray.
Overall, it was fine and is an ideal location on the strip. I just wished it had softer beds, fridges for those bringing children who need milk (my 13 month old) and bath tubs…

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Harrahs this past week. The rooms have been upgraded and are extremely comfortable. King size bed, flat screen tv, two closets, a «living room» area and an upgraded bathroom. The hotel itself is kept up nicely and you can reap the rewards by signing up and adding points for everything you do within the hotel.
Cons: no refrigerators or bathtubs. Only reason these would be negatives is because we brought our 15 month old who absolutely needs her milk, and is afraid of showers. Also, maid service didn’t come after our first day… Until 9 pm our last night we got a knock on our door. Unfortunately we were already in bed (15 month old).
Self parking is great, the parking structure always has open spots. This is a pet friendly hotel if you want to bring your little pooch. Toby Keith’s Bar & Grill is a must try! A little cultured outside of the hotel; the homeless like to hang out mid day.
Other than that, we will definitely come back and stay here.

I have to start again by saying, read your Unilocal reviews and trust them. I waited til the last minute to make reservations and Harrah’s was all that was available on the Strip.
I first got into the lobby around 5pm and was standing in the check in line for at least 40 minutes! Everyone in line was making jokes about how horrible their check in process is. severely frustrating, there is a shortage of staff right from the first impression.
The room itself seemed clean and the bed was comfortable. My room was on the mardi gras tower which is in very poor shape and very old and tattered, the wallpaper in my room was completely peeled off. it looked so bad. Harrah’s really needs to update the entire hotel. not just a small portion of the hotel like they have at this point.
I unexpectedly found out that the Carnival court bar that is right below all of the hotel rooms plays extremely loud live bands all night long past 3am which keeps everyone facing this side of the hotel awake all night long! I didn’t think of asking to move my room not knowing that this bar does this every night apparently. It was a pure nightmare. I know its Las Vegas so I gave it a pass the 1^st night, but eventually guests should be able to sleep past 2pm.
There was nowhere to plug in your phone to charge, the Wi-​Fi is not free. I did not pay for it. complete inconveniences. There are not a lot of places to eat at Harrah’s besides the food court.
I was stuck in Vegas another day longer than I planned so again, the only cheaply priced hotel available was Harrah’s again, but they did put me in a different room in the Carnival tower and it was quiet but not as comfortable. I was thankful to finally get 1 night of sleep.
I would not stay again, and I don’t recommend it. Its old and needs renovations badly.

Pros —
— Early check in was pleasantly easy! Make sure to sign up for the Total Rewards Card and they’ll waive the early check in fee: D
— No incidental holds on your credit card
Cons — here comes everything else
— The time share people in the lobby are AGGRESSIVE. No I’m not married, no I don’t make over $ 75K, no I don’t need your comped show/​buffet tickets.
— The room, OMG, the room. I saw an ad in the elevator that said that some rooms were newly renovated, obviously not mine. I had drastically different colored carpeting, a TV console that didn’t face the bed, a flickering/​loud «Resident Evil-​esque» light-​bulb in the bathroom, a thermostat that didn’t work below 72 degrees, the walls were peeling and had holes they didn’t bother to fill in and enough dust to 1. Start a farm of dust bunnies or 2. develop asthma. Me and the boyfriend had to wear shoes to our beds and I forced him to inspect the sheets before we slept. The bed and bathroom seemed clean.
I purchased a deal on Groupon for $ 27/​per night, after the mandatory resort fee it came out to $ 60ish for my one night stay (I stayed at the Mirage for my other nights). Even with the discount I wouldn’t come back here.

After not hearing very good things about this hotel with regards to the antiquated rooms and loud noise level, I set my expectations pretty low.
The check-​in queue wasn’t very long but still took nearly an hour before I was able to get to the counter. The person who was directing people from a single queue ended up splitting people up into multiple lines so the people who were originally queued-​up behind me actually got to the counters way before I did. I thought that was a huge misstep.
Nevertheless, I was pleased with my room as the hotel seemed to be in the midst of renovating certain sections of the hotels and so I was able to get a newer room so that was nice.
Some of my colleagues complained of shabby outdated rooms and music outside their rooms that lasted until 2 in the morning but I did not suffer as such. Instead, I don’t have a fridge and got a dud conditioner dispenser in the shower which housekeeping did not seem to notice at all. I did not bother calling maintenance.
Got locked out of my room but security came up quickly to the rescue so that was helpful.
Anyhow, it’s an okay hotel but nicely-​located on the strip with easy access to the monorail, restaurants and other hotels.

After staying at the Cosmo, we missed our flight. And found ourselves here for a cheap night stay. We didn’t get to try the new, updated rooms so I can’t review on those but the older, dated rooms are not really worth the $ 100. Just pay an extra $ 40 – 70 bucks and go elsewhere.
I’m thankful for the clean sheets. But I still felt uncomfortable walking about bare foot in the room and bathroom haha. Even the toilet paper was of poor quality, like dollar store quality. The furniture was all out dated. And the entire casino smells like an ash tray. There are definitely friendly patrons though.
I’m not bougie this is just based upon the price and quality of the room.

I like the value of this place — everything is fine unless you’ve been spoiled from nicer places like Venetian, Bellagio or Wynn. This is best as a 21 year old who doesn’t care so much about the luxury accommodations — you won’t find electric curtain buttons on your nightstand and if you never had them before you won’t know to miss them.
Hotel: there is a worse older tower that used to be the Holiday Inn. I beieve this tower does have the redeeming factor of windows that open. There is the newer tower that has better rooms but windows don’t open at all. If you get a room toward Carnival Court good luck sleeping early. There is pounding music/​DJ stuff till the late hours. Resort fees like everywhere.
Gaming: I’ve had good experiences here. The Total Reward program gives generously toward discounted rooms.
Drinking: Carnival court has flare bartenders. Fun to watch. There is a piano bar with talented musicians that you can enjoy from the casino area.
Food: Flavors Buffet always great.
Overall a good choice. Unbeatable location. Probably one of the lowes price hotels center strip… Imperial Palace (now the Linq) is probably even more expensive these days after the remodel… and I have less love for that place than this place. No matter what kind of remodel the Linq will always have a horrible maze like layout and slow elevators. Choose Harrahs over the Linq any day even if its $ 30 more/​night.

Loved my room! Super cozy bed, iPhone dock with lightning port, awesome view of the Volcano at Mirage, right in the middle of everything! No complaints at all! Next time you send out comps, I’ll be there. Everyone was great and helpful! Thanks for making my mini vacation very enjoyable!

HORRIBLE stay! There was construction going on that they did not inform us of when making the reservation. The hallways were full of dust, floors were gross (see pic), and the lights in the hallway at the elevators were not working. The lights blinked on and off like a scary, haunted asylum movie (see video attached)!!
Had to go up 7 floors for an ice machine!
Room service was a JOKE! No warm breakfast available and room service meal was delivered in a brown paper bag like I’d ordered groceries from a super market. Could not order a burger from the main food court on the first floor; had to go to the second floor to order a burger. I just left; hungry and disappointed! .
Needless to say, I will not be staying at this hotel ever again and I will NOT recommend this hotel/​casino to ANY ONE I KNOW!

If you are looking for a cheap (or at least, cheaper than most strip hotels!) hotel room in Las Vegas and on the strip, then I suggest Harrah’s. It’s one of the older hotels on the strip, so if you don’t mind not having a super fancy or flashy hotel room, then this is your place!
Three girlfriends and I decided to spend NYE in Las Vegas, and Harrah’s was one of the cheapest rooms we could find on the strip. I’ve stayed at Harrah’s plenty of times, so I knew what to expect. The rooms are older, but seriously – when you are in Vegas how much time are you actually spending in your room? If you’re like us, not much! Service was good; our check-​in and check-​out processes were quick and efficient, and everyone was very friendly.
I think the location is great as I feel it is right in the middle of all the action. You are right next door to the new Linq, which we frequented several times for food and fun. Harrah’s also has a new dining area that has many different options for guests, from pizza to subs to a great salad making station to noodles. I ate at the make your own salad station twice and loved it! It was a little pricier than what I am used to as I paid $ 16 for a protein/​meat and I believe 5 toppings, but the portion was huge and it was so delicious!
As I said, I’ve stayed at Harrah’s many times in the past. This time we did not have a rental car, but prior times I have. Parking is always easy to get in and out of Harrah’s, which is nice compared to other hotels on the strip. Plus, when you park on the property, you don’t have a 15 mile walk from the garage to the hotel rooms! This is definitely a plus!
This isn’t the best hotel on the strip, but I can’t give it anything less than 5 stars because we had a great experience there. If you stay here and know what your expectations should be (i.e. it isn’t the Bellagio!), then I don’t think you will be disappointed.

Our room was spacious and clean, had a great view but the bathroom sink was tiny (picture somewhere in the mix)
We arrived in Vegas super late in the evening so no crazy check in lines. Win win! It only took about 10 minutes to check in.
The Starbucks in the lobby by the check in counter has free wifi.
It was daylight saving times when we visited and they had a friendly reminder in our room to change our clocks. It’s bad enough for me when I’m traveling to a different time zone and then the time changes because of daylight savings.
Great size fitness center plenty of treadmills and elliptical’s. It’s located in the carnival tower on the fourth floor with a view of the pool. The fitness center is included in your resort fee so all you gym rats should take advantage! It was open 7 to 7 when I visited.
Overall a great stay and would definitely stay here again. Location on the strip was perfect too. Casino tables were fruitful Craps and roulette.

El hotel tiene una ubicación inmejorable, en el centro del strip frente al mirage, no hay lujos pero es muy comodo

Wir waren nur zu einer Besichtigungstour im «Harrah’s» und einmal zum Frühstücksbuffet. Das Casino an sich ist wohl eines der Klassiker in Las Vegas, kann man sich ruhig mal anschauen.
Das Frühstücksbuffet ist sehr reichhaltig und lecker, vor allem ist uns die wirklich enorme Auswahl an Cupcakes aufgefallen. Rein von der Atmosphäre gibt es meiner Meinung nach aber schönere Hotels in Las Vegas, das Restaurant ist eher funktional eingerichtet. Gewundert hat mich, dass die Getränke in einer Art Plastikbecher serviert wurden, dies passt meiner Meinung nach einfach nicht zu so einem Haus. Das Servicepersonal war freundlich und bediente generell recht schnell, beim Abräumen des Geschirrs besteht aber sicherlich noch Verbesserungspotenzial in Sachen Geschwindigkeit.
Insgesamt kann man die Gastronomie im «Harrah’s» empfehlen, ein wirkliches Highlight ist sie (auf jeden Fall was das Frühstück angeht) aber nicht. Für einen Preis von etwas über 20 USD + TAX für das Breakfast-​Buffet aber durchaus ok.

On va faire simple si vous vous balader à Vegas vous monterai et descendrai le strip, vous irez de casino en casino et si par malheur vous les visitez tous vous constaterez un peu plus le regret d’avoir réserver une chambre au Harrah !
