Info. on Harrahs Las Vegas????

Hey Guys,

I am getting comped at Harrahs for 3 nights in Vegas, I always stay at Harrahs in Mississippi, I was wanting to know if it is a nice place to stay? and things to do? It will be my wife and I and a group of friends will be meeting us  ages-30-40

hate that place but since it's free, I guess you have no other option.  I haven't been there for two years but the last time I was there with my wife and daughter, it's was too old, dark, and smoky, even for the non-smoking room.

Free= .  Things to do?  Harrahs is right in the middle of it all! 

Stayed there before....good enough.

How did you get those comps?  I'm planning a trip for march, looking for anything to ease the cost.

I like Harrah's. The casino is not too big where you can find people. Sports book is small. Women should like piano bar & outside bar with live music & bartenders that throw bottles around like the cheesey Tom Cruise movie Cocktail. If you're comp'd & you haven't been there - give it a shot.

 The "Party Pit" used to open up late & you'd get some hotties boozed up on $1 Michelobes from Casino Royale next door stumble in and start gambling. They're always fun to BS with @ a $5 or $10 table.

Mirage is right across the street - It is right in the middle of the action.

Have fun - Good Luck!

 

  Tis is dead on..Girls love the Piano bar...Your across from Mirage ( good sportsbook) and about 5 minute walk to Vin. and Wynn...Rooms are OK.. I would do it

the sportsbook is like an OTB. Go in make your plays and leave or go bet somewhere else.

Squarest book I've ever been in. Enjoy your stay and sportsbet somewhere else. Just got back from Vegas. Frigging Rain.

Good location,easy to get around,don't take forever to get to your room. Toby Keith's Bar and Grill there too, good place for sandwiches.You can catch the monorail there too.

 Hey its free...Its not Cesears,Balligio or Wynn but how much time do you spend in your room !!!!

vegas in the spring time is heaven on earth - get yourself there

Ive been ther for the final 4 in basketball with opening day in baseball..The weather was like 75-80 and great sports on TV..Great time to go..

The best thing about Harrahs is the location. I have 3 comped nights there in September, got the upgraded room for $10, newer room, flat screen tv's even in bathroom. Pool is terrible, casino is smokey and old but not the worst on the strip. But hey Mirage is just across the street.

For for you can hit the piano bar with the dueling singers but the one in NYNY is so much better. Just outside the door from the piano bar is Carnival Court, awesome place at night. The juggling flame bottles, they have a great house cover band and a great dj who spins hiphop/top 20 stuff. A great mix of music.

If you really wanna go cheap you can go next door to Casino Royal with the $1 Michelobes but the casino is aweful. Go out the other side past Carnival Court and you have a fun place called O'sheas, its an Irish Pub/Casino, cheap table games and cheap beer. They even have a midget leprechan mascot.

If anybody been to Harrah's rincon near SD let me know if it's any good I'm getting some decent offers fromt there and never been there.

watched the Ravens/Patriots game at harrahs - was nuthin special

walked across the road to the Mirage to watch the Packers/Zona game and they had an outdoor patio set up (at the entrance closest to theyre sports book) with numerous tvs, great atmosphere  

Great location, ok casino, not sure about rooms. Tons of action through that spot due to location.

What makes a book square?

Here is a little pearl for you. The steak house there is decent enough and it is never full. Stand in line for those Vegas Show 1/2 places and you can get a pretty good deal at the steakhouse there with a coupon. Harrahs aint much but it is solid. Try to get one of the updated rooms which may be worth another 20 to 30 bucks a night

 

Good question... Boring? Not many prop bets????

I think the length and width are the same making it a square book.

Wilbur22,
               This is only my opinion of a square book...don't let you bet at the half on the game you want. Give you the fish-eye if you want to make you're own ticket up as if you're a thief. Will limit your action a game you like even if you're way under the limits they have posted. Give off a bad vibe because you're actually trying to win money. Limit the board, have surly clerks taking you're action. The seats are too far from the tv's...the tv's are too small. Don't enforce no smoking rules...the girls don't come around a lot to serve you drinks. Hard to be comped for anything.


Generally speaking turning a fun activity for a lot of guys into a grind.

libra55,
  I see your points. Thanks. I do have a few questions for you. What do you mean about making your own ticket? And have you really been limited on your amounts or ability to get a bet down?

I hate surly clerks. F' them! Get a personality. The old Barbary Coast, I will always call it the Coast, has some of the best clerks.

Wilbur:

If you are getting comped at Harrah's I'm sure you can get comped at their other casinos. Rio is the best. All suites. I even like the Flamingo better, I'm comped there for 4 nights Superbowl weekend. They have a very nice European pool(nude)
