Guests at Harrah’s are all united by the commonality of needing a cheap place to stay on the Strip. For those who can tolerate the cigarette smog, the casino leads to an unimpressive lobby with long check-in lines and bad fluorescent lighting. At 87,000 square feet, it’s only mid-size for Vegas, and is so filled with cigarette smoke that it has the potential to turn would-be gamblers away. Harrah's is a less-than-fresh property - in fact, just about everything feels old. With no dancing fountains, shark reefs, faux Venetian canals, or restaurants with celebrity chefs, Harrah's instead focuses on gambling, but even the casino isn’t impressive. With a court jester on the facade and a brightly lit exterior, Harrah’s suggests a vague Mardi Gras theme but you won’t find the vibrancy and excitement of New Orleans here.
