Harrah’s Las Vegas Casino & Hotel: A Little Historyįirst built in 1971, the property was built as a Holiday Inn that was known as River Queen Casino. Less than a minute walk and you are at the Linq promenade and casino, or go the other way for a 20 second walk to Casino Royal and their $1 Michelobs.
I like the small casino that is literally just steps away from the strip sidewalk.
I have been upgrading to the “premium” rooms and they are much newer/nicer. This is an ideal hotel for low rollers, business travelers and people who just use their room to sleep in. The advantage of Harrah’s is the awesome location and usually pretty cheap prices. Harrah’s has standard hotel rooms (think Best Western style) that are generally clean. With 2,677 rooms, an enormous casino and multiple towers, Harrah’s is one of the more popular hotels on the strip. Well-known by any frequent traveler to Las Vegas, Harrah’s is a number one choice for those who are looking for affordable and fun accommodations on the Las Vegas strip.
