An older casino located in the center of the Las Vegas strip, Harrah's is the best place to park when visiting the strip. Take Desert Inn then hit Paradise or Koval, and park in the rear parking garage. It is free to park there and is a prime location.
Harrah's is a favorite of the budget-conscious tourist and the table games are usually packed and rowdy when I visit. I used to play (and win) at a couple of slots, but the payout on the machines seems to be less so now I avoid gambling here. The casino has a little Keno room for those looking to buck the odds and rack up some loot... good luck, I wouldn't hold my breath. The cocktail waitresses are usually decent here.
The Harrah's buffet is average at best, and unless you have coupons then I'd advise you to go elsewhere. Country music fans will enjoy having a drink at Toby Keith's restaurant. I've never visited, but I've heard decent bands playing while walking past. There are other restaurants here, but nothing that would make me go out of my way.
There is a decent value to be had at Harrah's, and that is the Mac King show. King is a magician/comedian and you can usually find buy 1 ticket/get 1 free coupons for his show. The show is okay, nothing special, but a decent buy if you can't afford tix anywhere else.
Overall, Harrah's is an okay casino that has seen better days. Once the economy bounces back, I predict Harrah's being torn down and replaced by a more attractive casino. Until then, I recommend utilizing Harrah's parking garage and walking the strip... bypass Harrah's casino unless you like being crowded in small walkways by the bottom rung of Vegas travellers.
