Description: Harrah’s hotel and convention center is so attractive that you might come here without so much as peeking in the gaming area. The 392 rooms and suites are luxurious and amenities abound, including 24-hour room service, an indoor swimming pool, and an exercise room. There’s even an arcade to keep kids and teens happy for hours. But you’ll be tempted to play once you see Harrah’s 30,000-square-foot addition to its Mardi Gras Casino. With over 2,000 slot machines and plenty of tables, we’re betting you’ll find lots to keep you entertained. When you’re hungry head to one of four themed restaurants, including casual choices such as Toby Keith’s I Love This Bar & Grill, and Moby’s Fish Tales. Meanwhile, get a taste of primo Italian fare at Mike & Charlie’s, where pastas are king. The Range rustles up sizzling steaks, seafood, and prime rib in an upscale Southwestern setting. And the smoking-hot nightclub, VooDoo Lounge, has put Harrah’s on the map with live music or smokin’ hot DJs.
