Harrah's is a midpriced center-Strip hotel with four resident shows in house, led by Donny Osmond, plus Carnaval Court and quick access to The LINQ Promenade. It suits travelers who plan their evenings around shows rather than pools or spas.
Harrah's sits on the east side of the center Strip between The LINQ and The Venetian, across the boulevard from Caesars Palace and The Mirage site. It has around 2,500 redesigned rooms, an 87,000-square-foot casino and direct access to the CAESARS FORUM conference center, so you will share elevators with convention groups on weekdays. Rooms are comfortable rather than flashy, with purple and blue tones and dark wood.
The Valley Tower rooms are generally the more updated choice, so it is worth requesting one if your rate allows it, especially on longer stays. The LINQ Promenade and the High Roller are a few minutes' walk away, and the Las Vegas Monorail stops at the back of the property.
Shows are the reason to stay. The Harrah's Cabaret hosts Menopause the Musical, X Country and Colin Cloud, so on one evening you can see a show and still be upstairs in five minutes. Showtimes and dark days change, so check the calendar before you plan around a performance. Donny Osmond offers a pre-show VIP meet-and-greet package for fans who want more than a seat.
For food, Harrah's has Ruth's Chris Steak House, Gordon Ramsay's Ramsay's Kitchen and the Fulton Street Food Hall, whose counters include Bobby's Burgers and Chicken Guy. Carnaval Court, the outdoor bar with flair bartenders and live bands, is one of the busiest places on the Strip at night and draws a lively crowd well past midnight, so ask for a room away from it if you sleep lightly.
The outdoor pool runs on a seasonal schedule, and The Spa at Harrah's offers massages and facials if you want a quieter afternoon. As with other Caesars properties, parking is paid and a nightly resort fee is added on top of the room rate. During the Las Vegas Grand Prix weekend (held each November) expect road closures around the center Strip.
