HARRAH'S LAS VEGAS HOTEL & CASINO

We booked this hotel as a package with TravelZoo which was selling for ExitNow and Trip Central. Got a good price for as add said “newly renovated Mardi Gras room”. Upon arrival were informed it is not renovated, only the Valley Rooms were renovated and they wanted $100/night to upgrade. When they clearly saw our disappointment they offered the upgrade for $25/night. But what you are not told is that there is also a $40/night resort fee on top of all that. So now as a Canadian already paying .37 cents on the dollar??? It makes a pretty expensive trip. You can go to the Caribbean or our own Canadian casinos for way less. So save your money and support Canadian instead of American.

I was initially a little disappointed with the room allocated. We booked a valley tower king room about 6 months in advance and I had asked for something with a nice view. We asked again at check-in but all they had was a room in floor 8 overlooking the car park building!!the room was non smoking but the corridor had a strong smell of smoke.The room itself was nice and spacious,bathroom was brilliant..big shower area and a fab huge light up mirror!Bed was also huge!Not a lot of space for clothes with us being there for a week (3 drawers and 2 slim closets) and inside the closets was very dark!!There wasn't a fridge in the room but there was an ice machine at the end of the corridor which came in handy.There was an iron in the room (not the best)and the hairdryer was also powerful.We were allocated 9 dollars each per day to spend at Starbucks...great for morning coffee or breakfast roll.The casino is big enough and easy to navigate... Can be quite smoky and the smell of cigar smoke sometimes is too much, but this was everywhere really!! Overall, the service here was excellent and I'd definitely stay again in a valley room, the location is perfect for seeing the strip. One thing that did annoy me , again though this seemed to be various hotels. .I'm not sure what they were selling (maybe timeshare?!) but constantly stopping you and asking where we were from - obviously not available to UK citizens as they left us alone when we said the UK

We got to the hotel at 11 pm on the day we arrived. We went to check in using the kiosk and was told our room was not ready. So we had to stand in line for another 20 minutes to find out they “put us in another too “. No explanation why.

I took my dear friend for her 50th birthday to Harrahs in Las Vegas and we had the best time. From the time we got there to our departure we were treated like royalty. Upgraded our room to a suite for our special occasion. We had so much fun and loved the room and view. Extremely clean as well. Could not recommend Harrahs enough to friends and family. We will be back soon.

Book a room in the Valley Tower versus the Madri Gras Tower paying the upgrade fee is worth it. The difference is like night and day. Ask for a higher floor for a better view. Really liked the Personal Concierge Text System almost immediate response to all inquiries. Location of Harrah’s on the strip is a big plus. Walls are thin. We could hear ourvvery obnoxious neighborhoods entire profanity based conversation. Just remember it is Vegas. Would come back to Harrah’s on a return trip.
