Vegas is a melting pot of visitors and residents that makes it a city where practically anything can happen. You can see a wide range of fashion from upscale, designer gowns to tube tops and flip flops. It is a town that attracts wannabe rock stars, but none so flamboyant as the costumed KISS impersonators that I had to pass each day to reach our hotel room at Harrah’s. I give them a lot of credit with their perfect makeup, 80’s wigs, silver moonboots, but sporting a thong? Now I’ve seen it all.
After grabbing a cup of coffee at Starbucks, I waited for a group of my friends at our designated meeting place, the statue of the cartoonish casino winners. Harrah’s would be my home for the next five nights and it turned out to be the perfect locale along the Las Vegas Strip. I was provided a room on the 19th floor that overlooked the pool with the mountains in the distance. The hotel and casino are centrally located so most attractions are within walking distance. The bus station stops here as well which made it easy to catch transportation down to Fremont Street.
Harrah’s also provides quite a few eateries that will fit anyone’s budget. On the first level was Starbucks which we frequented each morning, a Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse (upscale), Oyster Bar (casual), and Fulton Street Food Hall (casual) – which had pizza by the slice. Upstairs we stopped by Toby Keith’s I Love this Bar and Grill for a couple of strong drinks where they serve southern cooking and hot country music. IcePan for dessert includes custom made ice cream. Harrah’s buffet, Flavors is also located on the first level.
Harrah’s has locations throughout the US and provides their patrons a generous rewards system. Once becoming a member of their Total Rewards program, there are perks for playing, dining, shopping or staying at select casinos and resorts.
Later that week I was invited to enjoy a day at the pool where I was provided VIP drink service and use of a cabana. I felt like I was a superstar with so much attention. It was a beautiful sunny day and I was so appreciative to have been included in the anniversary festivities.
