The buffet had a beautiful view of the lake and the food selection wasn't bad at the price either. The food was fresh, but your usual American buffet fare. The staff were professional and polite throughout the meal. It would be nice if the decor was updated, it's presently reminiscent of an old cruise ship. The intake could also use some streamlining.

First time in Lake Tahoe. I came to this hotel for a seminar. The checking process was fast but the lady never told me that it will be a fee for parking. I parked the first 2 days for free and the third day a very rude man without any manners approached to our car asking for $13 parking fee. I tried to explained that we didn't pay for parking the previous days and nobody told us that there will be a fee for parking, but He was so aggressive and I got scare and paid with a credit card. When I went to the front desk in the hotel the lady explained me that it was something new that the parking it was no free anymore, but she never explained that the first day. She called the supervisor and he waved us the resort fee for one day for the inconvenient. The hotel is in a good location the room was clean and the indoor pool was good also . I am giving the 4 stars for the parking inconvenient. If I come back to Lake Tahoe I will stay here again

It was my first time going to Harrah's Lake Tahoe and the experience was not that bad. We went mostly for the buffet. The line is very long when you take the elevator up to the floor before the buffet even opens at 5pm. I have to say the selection of the buffet is very good but it gets pretty crowded. So I suggest lining up before 4:30pm to get ahead of the crowd or go later when the line simmers down. There is a nice view of the lake when you are dining though! And the smell of cigarettes is not present so it's like a breath of fresh air which is great compared to other casino buffets where the smoke lingers in the air while eating your food.

Spent a summer afternoon in the casino playing blackjack and roulette. The dealers we're nice and helpful to another player who hadn't played blackjack before. The table service staff was nice and quick. I had a fun conversation with the roulette table dealer when it was just the two of us then it started getting busy around 6/7 pm (on a Wednesday). I'll definitely go back the next time I'm in the area as I had fun.

Came to work the Tahoe Tattoo Show this year and it was by far my favorite convention I've been to. A lot of that was due to the environment. Our hotel room was clean and comfortable. Everything you could want is either in the building or within walking distance. The mountains are beautiful. And the casino is lively and fun. About a 15 minute walk to the lake. I would definitely love to come back!

Great casino. The employees are very interactive and make the time there fun. We had good luck here with a game we had never even heard of.

Harrah's Lake Tahoe has very comfy beds that were not hard like other hotels I have visited. The bar service was quick and the drinks were amazing. The hotel was clean and the rooms come with two bathrooms which is different. Overall I would definitely stay at this hotel again in the near future.

Great view of the lake! We were on the 14th floor on the south side of the building and we had an amazing view of the mountain and the lake. Rooms were clean but could use an update. There were two bathrooms in each room which was very convenient when multiple people are trying to get ready. Room service was fast and had good food. Overall very nice and would stay here again.

I attended a concert in the South Shore Room. Getting there was kind of confusing, but Harrah's staff members were polite about giving us directions. The room was clean and didn't get too hot despite the number of people in attendance. There were two different bars open, and the bartender at the one I used was very pleasant. I will definitely come back to events held at Harrah's.

Nothing paid out for me but i did see other people hit something or at least heard them so somebodys luck was better then mine at Harrah's. Over all it was a pleasant experience with live table games, slots, and video poker. Room and food i did not get to try as i was only passing by and had a room at the Hard Rock.

My wife and I got Married in Lake Tahoe, so it is one of our go to destinations. Harrah's has great rooms, reasonable prices, a super buffet, and of course a first class casino. The buffet is on the top floor with a beautiful view of the lake and Lake Tahoe, to enjoy while you eat. I do have trouble breathing in Lake Tahoe, after 3 heart attacks, the air up there is very thin. But we keep going back year after year.

I did not stay overnight here but did gamble for a while. One of the major drivers for us to leave Harrah's and gamble at the hard rock was the music. Was continued to hear Disney songs played over and over while gambling. This did not make it a very pleasing atmosphere. I would recommend something that is more upbeat and shared between all ages. Note, this didnt just happened once, it continued on and on.

Owing to a very busy schedule, my girl and I haven't been able to go on a vacation without kids in years. She told me as we were driving home that it was the best vacation we have ever had together, and I think it was because of the phenomenal staff at Harrah's. It was just courtesy and kindness, it was the kind of next level of customer service you dream of but very rarely experience. We cannot wait to go on vacation again!

While on fishing trip to El Dorado national forest, I took a detour to Harrah's to try my luck at slot machines. The drink servers were consistently coming by and very friendly. Slot machines weren't as cooperative but still had fun. Lots of people partying and gambling having fun.

I visited Harrah's Lake Tahoe with my dad and my best friend for the dinner buffet, but for $38/person, we felt underwhelmed. While the prime rib and salmon were wonderful and juicy, the ribeye was tough and overcooked, and my dad lamented the lack of king crab. The New York cheesecake dessert was very fluffy with a hint of lemon, and a good finish to the meal. Our waiter was attentive and quick to take our drink orders and cleared away dirty dishes promptly, so we appreciated that. Overall, great service with good food, but as the food was underwhelming, we likely won't return for the buffet. My best friend and I enjoyed ourselves at the arcade afterwards, so thankfully the night and our visit wasn't a complete loss.

I stayed in this hotel over the last weekend of March, 2018. Lake Tahoe Blvd was closed for emergency repair work and traffic was diverted towards Harvey's. I parked my car in Harvey's parking structure and walked through a somewhat confusing route towards Harrah's front desk. After I checked in, I needed to return to my car to bring my luggage, but I got confused again and found myself in Harrah's valet only parking structure. This was where I met one of the most ill-mannered and rude valet attendant ever. He treated me as if I was some sort of criminal or burglar even after I mentioned to him that I was a hotel guest and showed him the room key. I tried to tell him that I entered the valet only parking unintentionally looking for my car, but he just kept telling me in a very rude and suggestive way that I was not supposed to be there. I remember passing by a group of valet attendants before entering the structure and they could have stopped me there. But instead they chose to wait until I got inside so that they could harass me. I felt so humiliated and my whole weekend was ruined. I am glad that my two kids were not there to witness this unfortunate incident.

Love this place! It is my go to spot when I visit South Lake Tahoe. The employees are always friendly and the rooms are always fresh and clean and cozy. Did I mention each room has two bathrooms? Because each room has two bathrooms. You'll never look at hotel rooms the same again after experiencing the joy of a room with two bathrooms. The buffet is great, too. Sticky pork ribs for the win.

Mostly spent my time at the arcade. It's not that good. Ticket prizes were not exciting. Dance Mania X cabinet's screen was too dim that I could barely see the blues. The casino doesn't have video roulette, which I'd prefer playing than table roulette.

We stayed at a hotel across the street last weekend but went into Harrahs for dinner at the restraunt on the 18th floor. The wait was over an hour and people were sitting on the floor and ledges in the walls. Very tacky looking!

Had some fun gambling with friends for a bachelor party. The drinks could have come around more often but service was OK overall. Very difficult to find open space at a craps table or blackjack, unfortunately. Cruised around to several other casinos in the area and had better luck. The tobacco smoke has had me coughing since this morning, but that comes with the territory!

Went in for the arcades, some nostalgia as this was my favorite place as a kid. Was very disappointed by what was there. Numerous machines were out of order, crane games were literally empty. 3 basketball machines and only one actually had any basketballs, and that one was missing some. All in all a disappointing experience that could easily be made right if the place was taken care of.

The staff was very nice and professional. Quick to respond to requests and service. However it was strange that I did the do not disturb light on but the house keeping staff did decide to enter the room. The room was better than expected from the picture on the website. Two bathrooms was a real great draw but they are not equal in amenities. One was a shower only the other had shower and bath. The toiletries were different also, there was no lotion or shower cap in the shower only room. The lack of a fan in the bath rooms were a miss for me.
