Harrah's Lake Tahoe Hotel and Casino

Stayed for 5 days and it is a great location to Heavenly Village and lots of restaurants and shopping. It is located right on Stateline Rd do can cross over to CA. Walk .9 miles down that same road and you are at the beach. There’s also a stage park with hiking trails behind the hotel that goes through both states. It is very smokey inside! You can’t wash it away since it’s in the hotel areas. Walk down to Hard Rock Casino where no smoking is permitted if want smoke free gambling. It’s not that far of a walk at all and worth it to avoid the smoke. Harrahs really needs to be more health conscious as far as smoking is concerned. They were great with protocols for Covid. Lots of wiling down of surfaces and sanitation stations. They did limit elevators to 4 people which resulted in waiting for 4 or more elevators to open only to be full. We stayed on 6th floor so took stairs twice. Disaster. Many of the final doors were alarmed. Ended up in a pitch black conference center trying to fell out way through with the dim lights of the exit signs. Once out of that maze, the escalator to the 1st floor was broke. Ended up still having to wait for the elevators! It was a debacle. The rooms are nice. No refrigerators or ice available due to Covid. Also no housekeeping available. Comfortable bed and great views.

My wife and I decided to brave the COVID-19 pandemic and go to Lake Tahoe for a couple of days to relax. Once we arrived the area was packed on a Monday!!! This is what happens when you give people more money NOT to work and stay home than to get off your asses and put on masks 😷 and go back to work where they’re supposed to be!!! But Lake Tahoe was beautiful as always 😊

All I can say is we did NOT feel safe here during the pandemic. Security doesn't seem to enforce wearing face masks since I saw plenty of people without or with them half on their faces. No enforcement on the elevators to the rooms. People try to crowd the elevators and also without masks. Room floors, guests are walking around without masks. Housekeeping is non responsive to requests for water glasses sent to the room. Rooms are without shower caps, coffee pots, refrigerators or water glasses. At least they could provide plastic cups for water. There was an ice bucket but what good is ice if you don't have any glasses! I could go on regarding the tons of misinformation we received during our stay. It's apparent the employees are not well informed and the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing. I've been a loyal guest for over 40 years and I'm now rethinking our options.

We got an offer for 5 days to my favorite place; beautiful Tahoe and couldn't resist. Our first stay at Harrah's here. Room was spacious & well done. Only issues we had with it were we checked in at 130 but because smoking rooms require 2 separate disinfectant rounds with time between there was no room available until we returned to the desk a 3rd time at 645 and then it was 4th floor overlooking parking garage. Did not have "sanitized for your protection" sticker like I saw on others, makes me wonder...but after 5 hours of waiting we just wanted any room. Only other issue was after 4 days we needed a new trash bag, asked cleaning woman in hallway and her curt reply was our room was not on her work list. Ok then. But precautions taken around hotel, restaurants and casino all helped to make as safe as one can during covid. 4 to an elevator, distance gaming, paper menus etc.Had a wonderful stay with highlight being trip on Harrah's Tahoe Star Yacht. Thanks to host Mickey for getting us a spot. Other highlight was window side dinner at Sunset at Fridays Station.

Hotel is located in the heart of Lake Tahoe on the state line between Nevada and California. Lots of shops and restaurants to walk to. Guest rooms were nice with TWO bathrooms in a standard room/don’t think I’ve ever had that unless in a suite. Guest room was spacious.
