Harrah’s Las Vegas is effectively one of the “O.G.’s” of The Strip. First built in 1970, it’s one of the oldest-standing hotel and casinos on The Strip. It is under the Caesars brand, alongside the namesake Caesars Palace, Circus Circus, Paris Las Vegas, and a few others.
We’ll be blunt and say it’s certainly not the most luxurious betting destination in Vegas. However, it may be one of the best “bang for your buck” spots. For more budget-conscious bettors, Harrah’s is worth a look.
You’re going to want to keep reading to get our in-depth review of Harrah’s Sportsbooks & Casino. By the time you’re done reading this, you’ll know EXACTLY what to expect by staying at Harrah’s — the rooms, the table and sports bets, slots, and so much more!
Situated on the south section of the main casino floor, Harrah’s Las Vegas sportsbook is stationed on the resort property at 3475 South Las Vegas Boulevard.
It’s a moderately dark room with smoking allowed near the large full-service bar. There are many rows of leather chairs for about 45 people with a group of semi-circle booths behind that area. Guests can watch their favorite team on more than 40 high-definition televisions, including two giant screens.
A large odds board displays all the daily Harrah’s sports lines on the main wall next to all the TVs. Harrah’s sportsbook odds are posted on the major sporting events, with some future betting on major championships listed there as well.
Harrah’s is open at 8 am sharp Monday through Sunday. However, closing hours do vary. On weekdays (Monday to Thursday), it closes at 8 pm. That gets extended to 9 pm on weekends though. Personally, we’d like later closing times. West-coast sports games or primetime matchups often end past 9 pm, meaning you’ll have to wait til the morning to cash in those tickets.
In order to be one of the best sportsbooks in Las Vegas like the Cosmopolitan or Lagasse’s Stadium at the Palazzo, a lot of changes need to be made here. However, the biggest perk of the room has to be the availability of drink vouchers.
Any reasonable bet size under $50 on sports or horse racing earns you a complimentary drink upon request. Given how flexible the staff is here for vouchers, a bet over $50 could probably get you multiple tickets. You won’t find that giveaway anywhere else on the Strip.
There are two options for Harrah’s online sports betting. One is to register to use the Caesars Sportsbook. The sign-up process has to be done in person either at Harrah’s or any other Ceasars-owned property. Once registered, this app works anywhere in Nevada and other states where Caesars is licensed, which is dozens these days.
However, the best option is to join the top-ranked online site Bovada. Membership is free, and so is the welcome bonus. Plus, you never have to worry where you are in the legal betting states to make a wager as it works anywhere and everywhere.
There are six betting windows in the Harrah’s sports pit, but most of the time, only a few will be open. The sportsbook also has hard printout copies of future odds for all the major championships, like the Stanley Cup, World Series, and NBA Finals.

Harrah’s sportsbook online on the Caesars app offers even more wagering options, especially on props and “in-play” wagering where odds and spreads change continuously as the sporting event unfolds.

super Bowl, March Madness, Oscars
This type of betting has become extremely popular on mobile devices. You can expect to find this latest form of wagering online at most other Las Vegas casinos — like the Golden Nugget, Red Rock, and Mandalay Bay sportsbooks.
Harrah’s is a great place for betting on any sporting event and for making any type of bet. However, Harrah’s Super Bowl prop bets could be one of the best combinations available.
Super Bowl betting is a huge deal, so it is important to be in the right spot for it. If you’re not going to an online sportsbook where you’ll have front-row access to odds, bets, and your bet slip, Harrah’s is also a good choice.
Here you will have lots of big screens, an open bar, and an exciting environment. It will definitely be pricier, but getting in on Harrah’s Super Bowl prop bets might just be worth it.
With this affordable resort comes another great idea. The Fulton Street Food Hall offers guests the convenience of nine different food stations all in a buffet setting. Just pick out what you want to eat — from simple sandwiches to lasagna and sushi — then pay for it at a central location, and enjoy the 12,000-square-foot space with enough room for 250 guests.
This chef-driven marketplace is open 24 hours a day and reservations are not required. There’s nothing like it on the Strip.
Here is a sampling of some of the other restaurants at Harrah’s:
With more than 100,000 visitors arriving in America’s Playground every day, public transportation is in huge demand at the airport, around the Strip and the entire Las Vegas valley.
In what used to be a free service, Harrah’s began charging patrons to park at the resort in March 2017. That was followed by another hike in rates the next year.
Harrah’s Las Vegas Casino & Hotel is located near the middle of the Strip resorts on the east side of Las Vegas Boulevard, but at the north end of a run of seven Caesars properties. The independently-owned Venetian is north of Harrah’s with Caesars Palace and MGM’s Mirage across the street.
Although there are more luxurious neighbors to the north in the Venetian and Wynn, Harrah’s remains a budget-friendly resort in the heart of the mayhem on the Las Vegas Strip.
The 92,000-square-foot main gaming area has more than 1,200 ringing slot machines competing with today’s music pumped in overhead. The casino has plenty of tables games, with many of them in the “party pit.”
The casino, escalators to showrooms, multiple bars and the main cashier cage are all located by the Strip entrances, making this a high-traffic area for guests and visitors. The $5 table minimum at many of the table games adds to the congestion.
Some of the table games available to play include:
Harrah’s is part of the stable of nine Caesars properties in Las Vegas that all use the same rewards card. Caesars Rewards is free to join for new members, who earn points for every dollar spent on gambling, hotel stays, food and drink, and shopping.
New cardholders start at the Gold level and work their way up through Platinum and Diamond to the top level Seven Stars. The higher the level, the more privileges on meals, room rates and complimentary gifts.
You can earn and redeem reward credits at nearly 40 Caesars resorts and casinos around the world.
The top level Caesars cardholders also earn one of the best perks of them all. They don’t have to pay the unpopular resort fees which are tacked on at checkout for most tourists at all Las Vegas hotels. The resort fee at Harrah’s is $40, including taxes, per night.
The Harrah’s hotel has more than 2,600 hotel rooms available in two towers — the Mardi Gras and Valley. Formerly the Carnival Tower, the 35-floor Valley was renovated in 2018. However, most of the units in the Mardi Gras are outdated and smell of cigarette smoke.
