A mixed bag of a casino, one that is both dated (low ceilings, old lighting, stuffy) and fun (parts have high enough ceilings, and there are special attractions we will detail in a moment). The main reason to come here are the "party pits," gaming-table areas where dealers are encouraged to wear funny hats, celebrate wins, and otherwise break the usual stern dealer facade. Singing, dancing, and the handing out of party favors have all been known to erupt. (Gambling is supposed to be fun, so enjoy it!) Slot and table-game players can earn bonus points toward complimentary rooms, meals, and show tickets by joining Harrah's Total Rewards in the casino, which is also valid at sister hotel Rio. There are nonsmoking areas (fat lot of good that did, the place reeks of smoke), and free gaming lessons are offered on weekdays.
