Greedy slots, a food court with expensive yet bad food and smelling of weed everywhere, the hotel itself is not a great choice. Location however is great, next to the lake and Heavenly village with the gondola up to the mountain. In total, an expensive place for a vacation but skiing on that mountain is awesome.

The hotel room was nice and staff was super friendly. The beds were soft and pillows were super soft down, so if you like that you'll like the room. Our only real complaint (which left a couple days later) was the room above ours which had a young child they let run amok till 2am almost every night. The stay was wonderful otherwise.

We came here to eat at the buffet. They gave us free soft drinks because it was our first time there. They had a nice variety of foods but I must have eaten something bad, as I got sick as soon as we left and it came out both ends. I knew it was going to be pricey, however I was expecting something much better for what we paid. Other buffets offer more. Overall it was satisfactory.

Would have been 5 stars but only guy in valet who barely spoke English. Was very helpful to people who came out after us, who looked like they had a little money and ignored us.. my husband is black guess he thought we wouldn't TIP as well. But we have both been In the service industry and we tip very well, especially for Minimum wage personnel. A little racial profiling for sure. Stayed 5 nights 6 days. Had to deal with this jerk 3 times. So last time he got what he thought he'd get...nothing! All other valets were very helpful and we rewarded well. Other than that would have received 5*''s

Always great time at Harrah's Lake Tahoe. Very clean rooms, great and courteous service. Has a pool, not a big one, but enough for a dip. Offers lots of gambling, and located very central, so that you can can chose to stay there if you not only plan to gamble but also to explore all that national forest of Lake Tahoe has to offer. It is located in the south part of Lake Tahoe, and the drive to emerald Bay is not to far, so is the drive to Fallen Leaf lake or Cascade Lake to name a few destinations to visit

Location is excellent but what set this place way above and beyond expectations was the service from the concierge team of Tania, Theresa and Vanessa. It was our 15th year anniversary and we booked an evening boat cruise to see the fireworks from the lake. Unfortunately a couple hours before we were to be picked up, we received a call from the cruise line telling us the cruise had been cancelled due to mechanical failure. We were devastated to say the least with my wife in tears and calling down to the concierge to see if there was anything they could do help us. They worked their magic and were able to get us on another cruise line that had been sold out. I will never be able to thank them enough in helping our anniversary be a memorable evening that we will never forget!

Overall very good. The rooms are nice but old. 2 fulla baths are nice touch. Dinner at sushi Kai was wonderful. Breakfast at the river Cafe was far better than the reviews had lead us to expect. People have been exceptionally helpful and friendly.

Went there for the buffet on the 18th floor. The food at the buffet is okay; not bad at all, but hard to recommend. The selection of food is fairly basic as well. There is a salad bar for those that want to pretend to be healthy. Dessert section is pretty diverse actually. There's several selections of cakes, pies, crepes and soft serve ice cream.

I was with my mom gambling at Harrah's. The dealer, pit boss, and drink server were awesome! So friendly! And when I stopped in at the Starbucks-- everyone there was so nice and helpful! The valet guy opened the door for me too as I was struggling to open it while pushing my baby stroller. Iwish I was staying there. I def will next time.

I started going to Harrah's as a kid in the 70s with my parents. I have always had an extremely positive experience there. The hotel rooms are fantastic and all of the employees are very friendly.

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.

My fiance and I went this past weekend to Harvey's. It was a last minute trip, and we booked the reservation that morning. We arrived at around 7 that evening to find that their system had been down for about an hour and were not able to check anyone in. We understand that accidents happen to everybody that can't be helped sometimes. So once we were manually checked in, since they were unable to create room keys, we had to be escorted up by a bellhop. We were told that for our inconvenience, the hotel would be comping our resort fee and a drink if we presented our receipt on check out. The rooms were clean and nice (though we both found it strange that there was no fridge in the room). The staff was courteous and friendly. However, when we were checking out the next morning and brought our drink receipt, we were told that it wouldn't be comped because it wasn't charged to our room. We were frustrated by the miscommunication not only between us and the staff, but also between the staff members about what was going to be done for the patrons who were inconvenienced. Unfortunately, the way this was handled has tarnished our opinion of Harvey's, and we won't be staying there in the future.

When we arrived, it was clear the room was not clean - hair in the tub and on the toilet room floor, large area of crumbs next to the bed. Sheets didn't smell fresh and there was a hair. There were other things on the carpet to indicate it had not been vacuumed, including a used tissue. They were very responsive is sending someone to vacuum the crumbs, but that was all. They assured me the room would be thoroughly cleaned and sheets changed the next day. We were too tired to argue. The sheets were changed the next day as they smelled fresh and clean. None of the hair, tissue, etc. ever went away the entire week. Just don't go barefoot. The lockset was nearly impossible to open - they responded immediately and changed it out. Wii-Fi was difficult - had to call each day to get in. The pool was salty and didn't appear to be monitored for cleanliness - guessing the same for the hot tub-definitely shower afterward. On the up side, the staff is extremely friendly and polite, eager to help, just couldn't be nicer. Rooms are large and bathrooms are large with great functionality-separate sinks, separate toilet room. It's a shame the housekeeping is so horrific. Otherwise a nice place.

Had dinner at Hard Rock Cafe. Service was wonderful. Desiree was helpful and attentive. The food was excellent and service quickly even with a large group. I will be going back there for dinner.

Nice place to go after skiing, clean and warm, walking distance from several hotels, Cabo Wabo bar is inside downstairs, nice place to meet with friends, delicious drinks my favorite is Coconut Margarita

We had a great time at Harveys. Room was great. Roomy and had great views. Didn't watch tv much at all but was shocked at how little channel selection they had. Even though we didn't eat here, I was able to glance at the menu and the prices were definitely resonable. Location is great! Easy check in and out. The free valet is great. Valet guys hustle to get your car fast, appreciated that!
