text: Ok it is Harrahs And it USED to be the flagship of Harrahs properties in Vegas but now it is kind of middle of the road Since Ceasars is their flagship property larger and more luxurious but Harrahs will do in a pinchnnIve had a few stays at Total Rewards Properties CeasarsHarrahs recently Although an older property and probably not the most luxurious of the Caesars Entertainment properties it is surefire and smack dab in the middle of the Strip action Right across street from Ceasars their Forum Shops across street from Mirage next door to the Quad soon to become the Linq Hotel and Casino and NOT soon enough and short walk to FlamingonnI stayed in the Carnival Tower by choice because the room was sizeably bigger than the Mardi Gras Tower but it was an older room It will be remodeled eventually I am told My friends stayed in the Mardi Gras Tower which have mini balconies are nonsmoking and usually have awesome poolside views The location of that tower is a little closer to the casino and Strip as well But I had a minor upgrade to the High Roller view room I think and it had an awesome view of the new High Roller attraction Worlds tallest Ferris wheel temporarily There are many different types of rooms and suites available in both towers and the property is pet friendly nnMy room was always kept really clean and I was pretty surprised at the friendliness of the housekeeping staff Minibar unstockedleft empty Could see where a mini fridge had been removed and my shower head had a small leak But noise did not affect me and who wants to pay exhorbitant prices for minibar stuff anyway Downstairs they had several shops well stocked for normal hotel shops including clothing to usual gift shop to fair selection of alcohol nnCasino is a little outdated An absurd kitsch statute of an older couple right in the middle of the entrance from the hotel to the casino that is comical and looks comiclike toonnNo problems with any staff members whatsoever everyone is always been very friendly Especially security staff who were plentiful and Total Rewards staff along with check in But I am a little lucky there since I get to use the PlatinumDiamond check in which is separate from the general checkin linesthereby avoiding QUITE a wait If I had any complaint at all it was at check out when the clerk had a hard time explaining how my points were deducted to pay my room charges But we worked it out And the cashier personnel were very very helpful and accommodating And they remembered you toonnFairly large casino a little plain for me but like I said they are in the process of remodeling the entire property in parts New food court coming But thought the games were a little stingy TOO MANY Blackjack tablesdo NOT play Blackjackthat is NOT real blackjack But they also had regular blackjack with good rules though the table limits were a little higher nnOther amenities or restaurants include a gourmet burger place called Kerrys I think a Toby Keith Love this Bar and Grill Flavors Buffet was very good very good servers but a little overpriced for a Vegas Buffetmy price was over which I thought was a little high Starbucks abound Both floors And there is a monorail station on the second floor too Outdoor Carnival Court that was rocking on weekend But though this place USED to have a Mardi Gras theme I think it is lost that feelnnNice Piano Lounge near one of the entrances Fat or Big Elvis impersonator Pic reflected Had a great cover voice and you should have seen all the older folks dancing to his music and having a good timennFor the price I paid Total Rewards partially comped it is a great place price and location
