They have slot machines right at the corners where you walk to catch elevators and we literally walked through a woman's cloud of cigarette smoke. We don't gamble but like the hotel so just try and hold our breath as we walk to door with the smoke smell. These are just obervations and we still had a nice time.

It would appear there is half the staff in the hotel. Restaurant at bottom of hotel was three quarters shut down and we had to wait 30 minutes for about 7 tables that were operational. For one thing it stunk to high heaven from smoke. Hotel has a deserted feel about it though. Shows how lazy we are when it comes to a remote control. We stayed in room 1229 and remote worked one night even after they replaced remote still did not work unless you manually pushed buttons on tv. 12th floor had wonderful view of lake and mountains. So everytime someone got off and on it sounded like the 'L' in Chicago.

They put us in a room right next to outside wall that housed elevator system. Had to change from 6th floor to 12th floor. Spent three nights at Harrahs and for the most part very nice room.
