Harrah's Laughlin Hotel & Casino

Had a wonderful time while staying at Harrah's, Everything was taken care of for me. Once I was on the plane I never had to do anything with my luggage. It was delivered to my room and also picked up in my room on my return trip home. Never made any money on the trip but had fun trying to and enjoyed being able to walk along the Colorado River.

Delays caused a bit of stress. Then having to pay $100. for a room the night before in Saginaw area and having to do a fast food for dinner and again a 2 hour delay the next morning. Once we finally arrived the friendliness of the employees made it a good trip though short. Harrah's is clean and friendly.

The view of the Colorado River and panoramic silhouette of the mountains was breathtaking from our room. The area offers fun trips and sightseeing to complete a vacation destination of the southwest and its history from boating, London Bridge inLake Havasu City, Oatman with the donkey walking the streets, gambling and shows.

I made a spur of the moment decision to come here based on my past expereinces at Harrahs properties in Las Vegas and Reno. I needed a quick get-away , and pictured myself laying on their beach, enjoying drinks and reading a good book while soaking up the sun. Nah. Upon arrival, I was huslted to a kiosk by an employee to check in. He then pointed me to the elevator "right over there". After wanderign aroudn for a good 5 smoky minutes, I found the elevator, no thanks to very poor signage. First, I paid for an "updated" room in the south tower. It was updated, meaning new wall covering and furnishings, countertops... but it still smelled old and musty, as if no one bothered to clean the place since it "became" a non-smoking room (it still smelled like someone had smoked in there, is what I mean). Anyway, it was no big deal that the room was updated ( kept thinking lipstick on a pig), and I was glad I didn't try one that hadn't been. The beach, and the pool were closed. Why? "No lifeguard". Bummer. The casino is right out of the 1980s - dingy lighting, yellow, old. Of course smoky, even in the "non-smoking" casino, it was still dank. An overall unpleasant place to stay. I will never return. Suggest trying Golden nugget or other, newer casinos up the road.

The property has lost it's charm since Caesar's took over. Looks dated and not as sharp as it used to be. Bathroom hot water faucet didn't work, thermostat in the room didn't work properly, bed was very used. Daily Resort fee included Wi-fi and my iPhone kept losing the signal in the hotel every 3 minutes. What happened to the 1st class accommodations Harrah's? Will need to look elsewhere to stay on our Laughlin trips. Been a guest there for 25 years and seen alot of changes...loosing its appeal for us. The last straw was the inpersonal computer self-check-in. Now many people are out of a job. Did get one buffet meal comped.
