las vegas harrahs hotel overview of my experience at one of the strips funnest gambling hotels in Las Vegas - by Jason

Harrahs Hotel Las Vegas

Harrah's Hotel Las Vegas is noisy, wild and it's real Las Vegas. From the screaming upbeat poker room on weekends to the entertainment both in the casino and outside on the street. They have one of the funniest sculptures I have ever seen of two real Vegas old timers that really captures the spirit of this place.

The two towers of rooms at Harrahs are named Mardi Gras and the smaller roomed Carnival. Try to get a room with a view of the Strip though there aren't many. The biggest deal here is you are right on the strip for a great price. Vegas no longer has a slow season, so make your reservations now from this page to get the rooms you want.

A terrific depiction of a couple that hit the jackpot posing with their happy poodle at Harrah's Hotel. It is constantly rotating so that you can see every detail.

At Harrah's it is easy to miss the entrance to the parking garage. I enter from the back from Koval Lane. You can easily walk across the street to the Mirage, or next door to Imperial Palace. As for the gaming, they call the casino main floor Toby’s I Love This Party Pit, and dealers dress in country-western outfits and serve it up with a backdrop of country music playing.

The poker room is not large but there is lots of action at Harrah's Hotel Las Vegas. There are 15 TVs (which I don't advise watching while trying to win money) and food service is available tableside (I do advise eating while winning money). They still have penny slots so you can game cheaply.
