Harrahs, Premium or Deluxe

Narrowing down our hotel for a 4 night stay in LV before heading out in an RV across country.

Harrahs seems reasonable reviews, very good value for money given that all we want is somewhere to sleep that is clean. Not bothered with any gambling. Good central location for access to rest of the strip.

The Deluxe room is coming in at $390 for the stay or $510 for the Premium (exc. taxes etc.).

Given we are just after 4 nights sleep is the extra $120 worth a mini bar, hair dryer and other wee extras we probably won%26#39;t use??

Always laugh when I see 2 big beds in every hotel room, don%26#39;t American couples ever sleep together :)

Harrahs, Premium or Deluxe

I think you%26#39;ll like the view better in a premium room.

Americans like 2 beds; one for sleeping, the other for messing up ; )

Harrahs, Premium or Deluxe

We%26#39;ve stayed in both. I like the premium, but the deluxe is fine. We stayed in the deluxe back in September and had a great view of the mirage. You do get the hairdryer in every room, and a king bed too.

The Deluxe rooms are bigger than the premium rooms and located in the Carnaval Tower which I much prefer. Should you choose that one you could request a higher floor with a view and that would be an upgrade to a luxury room. The elevators are located conveniently right off of the registration area next to Starbucks.

The premium rooms are located in the older Mardi Gras Tower and have been recently upgraded. You would need to walk through the casino for a bit to reach those elevators.

To my knowlege all of the rooms have mini bars, hair dryers etc.

I know you asked about Harrahs but I find Treasure Island and Mirage both better and dollar wise about the same. Check www.smartervegas.com for links to great promos on TI and Mirage. Rooms have been all remodeled.

I would get an upgrade, remodeled room over a view. The views from Harrahs really aren%26#39;t that great. I just got back and had a room with a view of the Mirage volcano. The volcana wasn%26#39;t working the 4 days we were in Vegas. Saw a lot of guys up on top working on it.

Great site with descriptions of the different hotels www.cheapovegas.com

on a side note... not sure if it was the sheets or towels but 3 out of the 4 of us got a rash.

I second the last post by luggageinhand!

look at the promos on smartervegas.com

you should be able to find matching or better rates at another hotel - not that there is anything wrong with Harrahs.

Thanks for the feedback.

Using the listed sites, Mirage is coming in at $651 (ex tax), Treasure Island at $676 for the same dates.

I have struggled to find equivalent hotels for the price of Harrahs. The reviews on TA hae been reasonable, I ignore any reviews complaining about the quality of the casino as it is irrelevant for me.

Poor tv%26#39;s and phone, again, wouldn%26#39;t put me off as I wouldn%26#39;t be using them :)

It amuses me that you think everyone who reserves a hotel room in Vegas is part of a couple. Lots of people take trips to Vegas with their buddies or siblings, and convention-goers and other business travelers often share rooms to save money. So that%26#39;s why there are so many rooms with 2 beds in them. Don%26#39;t worry, there are still plenty of king bed rooms available.

Not Vegas in particular, but America all over.

In the UK you tend to get a single bed OR a 1 Double bed room, hardly ever a room with 2 double beds.

Probably because we tend to charge per person and not per room :)

But even on some American TV/movies, you see couples sleeping at home in seperate beds. Only ones who do that in UK are ones who have fallen out (and hubbys usually on the sofa!) :)

I love Harrahs, have never had a bad room, and Im sure most of them have been deluxe. The location is great. It was my first LV hotel, and remains my favorite.

Keep checking prices, as they flucuate often, and if you book directly thru Harrahs, you can have the price adjusted if the rate comes down.

Enjoy your cross country trip! =)

yes, American couples do sleep together. is it a given that couples only share a room? What about groups of more than 2 people and unrelated individuals?

Not every room has 2 beds - many of us prefer king beds.

Only you know what anyhting is ';worth'; to you.

Are you sure about harrah%26#39;s? I%26#39;m one who thinks it has seen better days - and there are many properties in the same price range which are much better.
