I have not been to Atlantic City in many years...A few teachers and I decided to go overnight since they offered a fantastic rate midweek during the President's Week vacation.

We went with very few expectations and we were so pleasantly surprised!

We checked in at about 4pm. Lourdes, at the front desk reception, was just lovely and very efficient. The only down side was that she asked us to wait for one hour since the room was not ready. By 5pm though, we were on our way up to the 15th floor with a fantastic view and lovely room.

As a previous review had mentioned, Harrahs is not on the boardwalk. It is just a few minutes by car. It offers a more tranquil atmosphere. The guest room was extremely quiet and you had your choice of machines at the casino. The indoor pool and hot tub was nice, but once a few children started to arrived and do cannonballs, the decibel level was quite intense!

There was a short wait at the 24 hour restaurant, but only 5 minutes or so. We did not go to any other restaurant, thought the buffet prices seemed a bit steep...

I cannot say enough about the staff there. Everyone, and I mean everyone, could not have been more pleasant. From the first reception to the maids, pool and casino staff, they all had a smile and greeted you...

Overall...kudos to the staff! We had a great time...it was a wonderful "get away".

Some comments on some reviews: there is no highway to cross if you walk out the bus door and cross the small entrance road and stay on the sidewalk to trumps marina.
Reflections restaurant is open 24/7. All harrahs food is good but pricey. Harrahs might think about a fast food chain for the seniors and kids.
Harrahs is constantly remodeling the playing floor and it is getting bright and looking good.
Rooms are clean and often available before noon, thanks to Vickie and the pleasant girls on the registration desk.
I have never met an unpleasant employee--sometimes one who didn't understand English very well, but she promptly got someone to help us.
I get to Harrahs 1-2 times a month. I have completely given up on Borgata--too cold and unfeeling, too tight slots and compsystem.

My wife and I stay 12 nights a year at Harrrah's. Sometimes comped - sometimes not.We took my mom here for Christmas. I'm taking my wife back mid February for her birtday.
All AC Casino Hotels add on $12 a night, even for comped rooms, for things such as taxes.
Harrah's is in the Marina Area. A quieter, more relaxed area. You can easily walk to Trump Marina or Bogata Casinos from the Northeast Casino Exit ( by the Escalator to the self park garage ). If you go to the right you can take the pathway under the bridge/highway to Trump. About a 5 block walk. If you go to the left you can take the bayside path about 8 blocks to the Borgata.
We always get nice rooms and excellent house keeeping services. I advise checking in before 8PM if you have a particular type of room you need ( non-smoking, etc.).
Sometimes on certain days the Buffet line can be an hour wait ( once in a blue moon it can actually be 2 hours ! ) So plan on going off hour if you can. Like all AC Casinos there is a quick line for higer rated players. ( They should include hotel guests, but don't .)
Food at reflections is good. And so is Room Service. They also have a small snack bar with reasonably priced sandwiches (e.g.$ 8. for a roast beef served with a bag of chips).
The Eden Lounge is usually lively with a good top 40/show type band. One of the few lounges in AC that has a dance floor !
We like to dress up and party on Friday and Sat. Nights. But the rest of the time we like things relaxed ...
Harrah's doesn't have bus day trippers, so things can be a bit quiet during the week, especially off-season ( Labor day to Memorial Day ). We like this about Harrah's ! ! Also too many people don't bring children here because it is not on the boardwalk .
You can get a cab to the boardwalk area places for $11., or take a Jitney ( privately owned mini-bus ) for $2. These prices are about the same as NYC's or Philly's transportation choices. We usually just drive unless we have been drinking. Or sometimes we take a cab over to the Wave at Trump to catch the band over there. That is only a $7 ride.
Also Harrah's is close to Brigantine ( just over the toll free bridge !) where there are some nice restaurants and lounges for the 30+ crowd. There is also a small shopping center there where you can pick up supplies.
And Remember to check your comps at a Kiosk before you leave, just in case you won't be back for awhile.

I hadn't intended to write a review until I read the preceding one. I too am disabled and had no problem
because of it at Harrah's. Every person there, staff and patrons alike could not have been more helpful and kind.
I had a special deal also and there were a few glitches
but life is like that. Everything was worked out, it just took a little time. I certainly never felt like I was treated disrespectfully because I was disabled, quite the contrary.
The casino(s) took awhile before I could find my way around but I enjoyed the variety of slots and many different denominations to play.
Eating was never a problem, I could always find somewhere to eat, and as in all things, shop around for the price range you want to pay. There were many choices with good food and reasonable prices, and if all else fails, go to your room and order room service, that too was quite acceptable.
