We are not into gambling, but stayed at Harrah’s for a concert at Stir Cove. We loved the concert venue and were really impressed with our room. Our room felt very large, and was probably the cleanest hotel room we’ve stayed in for years.

The staff, both hotel and restaurant were excellent. Would have given five stars across the board, but the bathroom had some minor maintenance issues and the grout could have used some bleach in the corners.
