We are frequent Las Vegas goers and loyal Total Rewards members. Room was comped at both of the Harrahs properties in Council Bluffs IA and since it is within driving distance with free hotel, we thought we'd give one of the casinos a try. We stayed at Harrah's Council Bluffs. Pros: Great customer service! All staff were very friendly from... more

Stayed on a Thursday night, hotel seemed busy. Beds are comfortable and room quite clean. There was a dead bug on entry floor. If main purpose of staying is to gamble, think you'd better forget it. We stay overnight at least once a month, stop in other times when in the city and the machines have gotten very, very tight... more

What is going on at Harrahs? This used to be one of our favorite long weekend getaways, but now we will reconsider where we choose to spend our time and money! The payout on the slots was horrible, not just for our group, but did not see anyone winning anywhere. There did not seem to be much excitement or action... more

What's happened to to this place? Rooms are showing wear with holes in curtains, bedding and carpet. Can't reserve type of room you want such as smoking or not, 1 or 2 beds, let alone a whirlpool suite, which they say they only have 8 of and they are reserved for their out of town players as they are now... more

The Harrah's is just over the Missouri River from Omaha, NE in Iowa. I was on business in the area and always enjoy a good casino and thought this would be a good choice. It was. The hotel is situated on the Missouri River. The casino is actually part of a boat that appears permanently anchored to the river. The... more

I am a Harrah's Casino Diamond level player. I expected to have a much better experience! I booked a premium room (one with a view of the Omaha sky-line and Missouri River). I was given a room on the other side of the hotel with a view of their parking lot. Normally it wouldn't have been a problem for me... more
