Harrah’s hotel and casino in Las Vegas is right on Las Vegas Boulevard. It stands between Flamingo Road and Spring Mountain Road about the middle of the Strip.

Harrah’s tries to keep up to the ever-changing pace of Las Vegas, but often fails. However, it depends what you are looking for. This is still an excellent hotel that is not over-priced like some others. The service is friendly and prompt, the rooms are comfortable and clean, and the front desk will make you feel important. All that can’t be bad.

“…the 17.3-acre resort is an icon, offering the festive atmosphere of Carnaval in Rio. Adorned with souvenir stands, the outdoor Carnaval Court fronting the Strip presents wine, spirits, salads and sandwiches, and live entertainment from mid-morning ’til late at night.” www.gayot.com

The rooms in Harrah’s are larger than most you will find in the city. In fact, they are noticeably bigger and mores pacious, which is definitely a plus point.

Harrah’s has several good restaurants - nine in fact - such as the Range Steakhouse. This is one of the few restaurants that actually overlooks the Strip. There’s entertainment too, though perhaps not notably so.

At Harrah’s you can see the Carnaval Court, which is a shopping plaza right on the Strip and entirely outdoors. There’s also a massive Olympic-sized swimming pool with a great pool area surrounding it. There’s a health club at the hotel with a full range gym and spa and all the equipment you could want.
