HERB HARRISON's Gravatar Doesn't matter how long the guest chooses to stay in the room. It should not be "stinky", and any room in a Harrah's hotel should not be "disgusting". Besides, if everybody had to book at the Encore at a discounted $179 rate in order to get a "decent" room, lots of LV hotels might as well padlock the doors now.

mark jarman's Gravatar I stayed at Harrah's Las Vegas from Dec.22-28 and found none of this to be true. I had a totally good experience.

Tom Gabrielli's Gravatar I recently stayed at Harrahs and was given one of their "newly redecorated luxury suites." It was nothing more than an overgrown closet. While comfortable enough to get some well-deserved sleep, it was nothing near other comparable rooms in the Flamingo, Bally's, or even The Tropicana. Yes, The Trop has better rooms! Would I stay at Harrahs again? Only after trying to book in the other hotels mentioned. Harrahs does have one thing going for it, though: location. Other than that, it's time for another implosion, I think.
