Harrah’s Laughlin

Harrah’s in Laughlin is an ok choice to get away to for an escape from the Vegas tourist scene or if you are just looking to find a place to crash out at after a fun day on the river. It is reasonably priced and there are several places to catch a bite to eat and cool off.
They are set away from the other casino/​hotels in Laughlin so you would have to take the water taxi up to them if you wanted to do some tourist things on foot while there.
By the way, if you do Geo-​Caching, there are a lot of them to search for while you are down in Laughlin.
Overall, Harrah’s is typical of the hotel/​casinos you will find in Laughlin (they all could use some improvements) but no one goes there for 5 star service anyway. One thing I did see while I was there was the thousands of shoe marks patrons leave on the parking garage ceiling and rafters. It was amusing, and I wanted to leave my mark as well. People take off their shoes or sandals and slap them against the wall to leave an imprint in the garage. It looks like this has been done for years because there are thousands of them. It’s only in the parking garage, so don’t get slap happy though.

This place is okay except the bathroom vents. Does not help my allergies. Came back for two days and my wife needed water went to the place next to smash burger. $ 4.50 for water. Prices not known till you get to the front of store. I asked why they said it was a corporate decision. F. k corporate don’t get taken by this BS. Buy before you get here screw them. Other then that harrah’s is great and a place like this will ruin them except for the tour buses being people here. Them people don’t have a chance to go buy from store which makes the store assholes.

What can I say? It’s an older casino with dated slots. Check in was not bad. Seems like an older crowd hang here. We got a room mid week for a good price. Even won 79.00 in a slot machine which paid for dinner.

While it’s not a five or even four star hotel, it is pretty decent. This place could use a major renovation, however the staff makes this place a pleasant experience. This is one of the only major hotels in Laughlin with ‘beach’ access to the Colorado.

Got a room for $ 10. I had no problems or dirty areas. I lacked toiletries and they promptly brought more. Gambled and dealers were friendly. No frills, but I didn’t need any as I was just wanting to sleep there. Beds could be a little more comfortable, though. If I’m ever on the river again, I’ll stay here again.

Worse hotel ever very dirty and filthy beach. The beach is full of so many people and not enough chairs. People fighting over chairs and jet skies come non stop on the beach and make so much dirt. We asked to be upgraded to the river view since every year when we come we get the same room and with no problem and this time he front desk lady Deborah denied it and said she cannot which is funny since when we were checking out the front desk offered the gentleman a free upgrade to a river from room. Anyway in short I’m not staying there and they lost a customer.

***PROS***
* Valet parking available in the afternoon
* Fast check-​in
* No wait for elevator
* Clean room
* Heated pool is in the shade of the hotel, so applying sunscreen was not necessary.
***CONS***
* Valet full at 8pm
* First elevator on the right (Tower 3) is broken, but there is no sign warning you. It goes to the 5^th floor and stays there without the doors opening. You have to return to the Casino.
* Kids pool was very full, no available chairs at 5pm.
* DIRTY DIAPER explosion at pool’s edge leading all the way to the showers where a second explosion occurred. Took a VERY long time for personnel to clean up the waste. No warnings were made, and a few guests stepped in the fecal matter.
* Visited the adult pool to get water; the DJ music was EXTREMELY LOUD!!! Don’t try having a conversation. I asked for bottled water, but was given cups of water with ice and straws, so clearly the bartender couldn’t hear either.

Hotel is out dated and dirty. Checking out tomarow and checking in the Aquarius hotel for the remainder of our stay. I check you finaly hotel he’ll they were not nice first night. Do not stay here.!! Aquarius were so nice they cared about our needs and did not dump us in a crack room. Oh my god I thought I was on hotel he’ll or hotel impossible. Again so not stay at harahs.
Aquarius hook us up.

Nice little get away, had a great deal with free breakfast for 2 at the buffet. Everyone was very friendly. Room was good and clean enough to stay, nothing major just the tv was dirty and the bathroom had a dirty towel. The pool was nice and heated and the beach was nice as well everything was close if I needed anything. Definitely staying here again

This was unplanned trip to Laughlin and we ended up getting free rooms for the two night stays. The rooms we had were on the North Tower with nice view of the river and casinos. My first impression was the room is not bad at all for this part of Nevada. It was good size, large TV, nice clean bathroom, desk and all the standard amenities you expect in a hotel.
My problem with the room was the carpet was not cleaned. Plastic and paper on the floor. Vacuuming either was done but not completed or it was just ignored. There are no excuses for this and if this shows, it shows the lack of management and the person in charge of housekeeping. Time for you manager to wake-​up and show some initiative, discipline and hard work. The guest staying in your hotel are paying your salary and its time to show some respect and do your job as it is required. My message to all of you maids, is this how you clean your own home? I left tip for the maids when I should have not… But doing so maybe it will encourage them to take their job more seriously and provide the best without short cuts…
The bed was kind of soft but it was OK.
Pillows were ahhhh… OK. Time for change.
Water pressure was good.
No coffee maker in the room.
No fridge in the room.
=This casino has its own private beach which was crowded.
=Water Taxi don’t come as often as you would think. Be prepared to wait.
=Jet Ski rentals 2 hours minimum at $ 149.00. I suggest you go across to Arizona side and rent one all day for $ 59.00 for older model or $ 99 for 2015 model two seats. $ 3.00 charge per gallon for gas compare to $ 5.00. You do the math.
=This casino does not have a walk-​way to other casinos. Its pretty far. So you either walk, drive or take water Taxi or Regular Taxi.
Final note. For a free room it was OK. If the room was cleaned well, I might have given them 3.5 stars.

So, this place is great if your looking for a fun, reasonably priced getaway with the kids. Its not a luxury hotel but the beach is great and the kids pool is fun too! what I really liked about this place (beside the ridiculously cheap rates) is that you can bring your own cooler and chairs to the beach and pool. Generally, the atmosphere is relaxed and there are lots of kids running around. They have a smash-​burger which is a good option if you don’t want to spend much at the other restaurants or buffet. The rooms are ok. Nothing fancy but clean and not too tiny. We did have a sink back up on us one night and it was stinky but when I complained they refunded my resort fee. Its only like $ 12 dollars but the rates are already super cheap. All in all, a fun place! I’ll be back!

We typically stay elsewhere in Laughlin but we have been wanting to try out Harrahs. One of the disadvantages to staying here is that you are not really within walking distance of the other casinos. Yes Harrahs has everything you would need sometimes it’s nice to go to other places. You can always take a water taxi, drive or grab a cab.
We were not in town very long but we did do some gambling and didn’t have any luck but that’s the way it goes. They have a good variety of games.
We spent some time at the pool. I was bummed that you can’t see the river from the pool but it was nice. They do have two pools one for adults only. My biggest complaint here and the reason I would not stay here again is the prices-​seriously a bucket of beer was $ 41!
The room had a nice view but there are a lot of other places that have that kind of view too with much better prices. Everything else about the room was ok-​nothing fantastic.

Very dirty, smells nasty and the AC does not work as well we were hot trough the night. There is food under our table and we didn’t even eat in here. So nasty. The rest rooms were gross

It’s a two-​star hotel… eventually.
I checked in at 2:00 and the room wasn’t ready. I was told to return in about an hour to pick up my keys. I did, and I was given my keys.
I looked around the room and it looked clean enough… that was until I visited the restroom.
The toilet seat had some strange residue on it. I wiped it off but didn’t feel comfortable (i.e. I wanted to barf). Luckily, there was a cleaning lady in the hall working on the room across from mine. I asked her if she could clean my toilet. She took one look at it, raised the seat, and said that it hadn’t been cleaned.
She told me to complain to housekeeping. I did. And she ended up changing the sheets on my bed as well.
Two days later I wasn’t feeling well and wanted to talk a nap. I turned down the sheets and there was long black hair all over the bedsheet. I thought, did I get lucky last night? Realized the answer was nope!, and called housekeeping again.
If Harrah’s could clean up their act (see what I did there?), they’d be a 3-​star hotel from the get-​go. As it stands now, they are a 1-​star barely making it to 2 only after a lot of supervision on my part.

Let’s get straight to the point.
The gentlemen who greeted us in the valet area was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. The young lady who helped us at the front desk during check in was very polite and a joy to talk to. She was able to get us a slightly better room in terms of a partial view of the river for the same price as the room we booked on the second floor with no view but most importantly she had a wonderful personality.
Once we left the check in desk is when things slowly became worse. My wife and I stayed there for our anniversary as we basically planned it at the last minute. The elevators are extremely slow even when there is not a lot of traffic. It seemed like we had to use the same 2 elevators out of 6 all the time. The room was fairly clean and we did not notice any bugs (thank God). However, the bathroom was showing its age to say the least. There were repairs in the shower that were obviously done by an inexperienced maintenance man or someone who just did not care about the quality of his work. Also the room showed its age as well. Definitely 80ish in style with the main wall made of bricks. The only upgrade in my opinion was the cheap flat screen tv.
Every night it was very hard to sleep as the other guest came and went in the hallways at all times of the night and to say they were loud is an understatement. The drinks definitely flowed on both nights as evidenced by the beer bottles and cans left by the elevator. On the last night we stayed, there was someone playing ding dong ditch and our door was one of the victims at 4:30 AM. It was also a windy weekend and trust me we heard every gust of wind. Sounded like we were in a wind tunnel. We could also hear everything from the guest above us and the sides of us and as I mentioned EVERYTHING that happened in the hallway including the very loud morning maids.
The room also did not come with anything but the bare bone basics, such as towels, soap, phone, tv, and clock. There were no refrigerator, coffee maker, or ice bucket.
I wanted to rent a jet ski and had saw hourly prices from other properties earlier in the day up to $ 45 per hour but upon asking the gentleman on Harrah’s property he gave me a price of $ 89! After that we laid out on the beach for awhile and that was nice and relaxing. We then decided to go sit in the jacuzzi which was lukewarm to cold and full of leaves and other debris.
We did eat at the buffet and the food was actually pretty good. In fact, better than some of the Vegas area buffets.
So to sum up our stay, I would have to say this. Harrahs is a well known brand and I am sure they have made a lot of money from this property so put some money into your business and remodel it. If it were more modern, then it would have been a wonderful experience. We didn’t mind it being a little further away because the view and beach availability were well appreciated. All of the staff we encountered were great from the valet, check in, gift shop, and reward card center so big kudos there.
At the end of the day, we would not return to Harrahs to stay overnight. The room was just not up to standard, there is a resort fee (not sure why), prices are high entertainment and food wise, and wifi policy is ridiculous (this is 2016 and guests should not be charged for wifi no matter how many devices).

Absolutely the WORST stay ever!
We booked for Easter weekend as a two day get away! We got a good deal thru
and we (in the past) liked the non-​smoking casino. **limited tables were available in n/​s section.
We got our room and things seemed ok, until we returned to go to sleep and our room REEKED!!! We realized sewage was seeping in from the bathtub! We called the front desk and it took FOREVER for them to answer. I went down to the desk to complain and the mgr. called security on us because we were upset at the smell in our room!
They said they would «comp» us $ 11.00 resort fee (wth?) and that was all they could do besides move us to another room (@11:30pm) we now have to file a complaint with
(that’s another story) for compensation!
Ps: the new room has a leak under the sink making the bathroom floor wet.
Never again!!!

Stayed weekend of February 19 – 21 for a big race weekend. When you first walk in, the overwhelming smell of cigarettes hits you in the face. Power was OUT on Saturday evening from 7pm to midnight. It was difficult to navigate the room with no lights. Had to use cell phone light to even see in the bathroom. No TV, no power, etc. Many people were just sitting in their cars to charge phones, listen to radio, etc.
Upon checkout Sunday morning, I asked if they would compensate for the power outage inconvenience. The answer was «NO» because they said «the power outage wasn’t their fault,» to which I agreed with them, however… when you have backup generators that power on immediately as to never interrupt any Casino game play (tables, slot machines, credit card machines, atm’s), I have a problem believing that you cannot compensate anything when in fact the power outage helped boost Casino game play because there was NOTHING ELSE TO DO!
You also had the nerve to charge me a «RESORT FEE» which includes use of internet wifi, television programing, spa/​pool use (Spa and Pool were both dry! No Water!) and when I asked if they would then waive the resort fee, the answer was NO! ($ 11/​day)
I hear most of the other casinos in the area took much better care of their guests the weekend we stayed here. (free buffet coupons, discounted room rate, free nights, etc.)

We went to Laughlin for my birthday weekend and chose to stay here because they are one of the only dog friendly casinos in the area. Check in was quick, the employees behind the front counter were pleasant, and my puppy even got a cute set of dog bowls and treats for staying as well. The room was updated nicely and very clean. After checking into our room we headed downstairs to gamble and were planning on visiting a few other casinos down the strip. I asked a cocktail waitress the easiest way to get to walk to some of the other casinos. Harrah’s is all the on the opposite side of the strip from the Riverside. She cautioned us and said it was too far of a walk, also once you are at Harrah’s you are there to stay. She came back around a second time and basically repeated that walking wasn’t a good idea. I didn’t want to spend the entire trip at one casino so called a taxi to come get us. I told the man who was driving and he showed and told me where there were a few flights of stairs to leave Harrah’s for future reference. We ended up having a great time and also walking back to Harrah’s and it was fine.
Harrah’s also has a beautiful beach area for guests to enjoy. I LOVED this part of our stay. There is no river walk access to Harrah’s but you can take the river taxi to other casinos as well. We ate at the Beach Café (separate review), enjoyed the gift shop (Star Wars items!), and won some money. There are also smoking and non smoking sections to gamble in within the casino as well. It was a great trip overall and we did enjoy our stay.

This review is regarding the Spa At Harrah’s:
Not a bad experiences but not an excellent one; it is Laughlin so I’m not sure what I was expecting and leaving my boyfriend at Laughlin Ranch Golf & Spa to go to Spa At Harrah’s didn’t help either because the spa at Laughlin Ranch is gorgeous and peaceful.
Spa At Harrah’s is more of a day spa which is fine. Just kind of weird to get in an elevator with the therapist and go into what looks like a janitor’s closet on the outside for a massage. My therapist was great though and once I enter the little massage room my body relaxed and so did my mind. I did a neck-​back-​shoulders quick massage and added a mini facial which was done back upstairs in a little room near the salon. The facial was meh, maybe it is because I did a ‘mini one’ and just wasn’t impressed; there was no actual facial massaging, just a couple products she let hang out on my face for a few minutes at a time.
I did feel good after leaving, just wasn’t the spa experience I was wanting which could attribute to Riverside Day Spa having to cancel on me.
Why 4 stars instead of 3? Sandy at the Spa desk got me in without hesitation once Riverside Day Spa called to cancel on me and Laughlin Ranch Spa was booked up. She was sweet and made my day a lot better by getting me in for a little relaxation.

One star because I had to. Not worthy of any and will never will be worthy in this condition. From the rooms, to the food, atmosphere like your in morning for someone dear that just died!!!
Rude hosts and waitresses… the worst is the one in beach café!!! Holy hell she welcomed us with a threat…“next time you want the food take out, don’t walk in here and make me seat u at a table, tell me while u r standing over there”…pointing at the entrance. …trashy, disgusting place… San Diego Harrahs is so beautiful and elegant and food and service are just immaculate!
I didn’t try the other places so i can advice you about them… but this one!!! Run for the hills.
