Harrah's Las Vegas is a hotel and casino located on the famed Las Vegas Strip in Las Vegas, Nevada. The property is owned and operated by Harrah's Entertainment.
The hotel offers 2,677 rooms with an attached casino providing 87,000 square feet (8,051 m²) of space. The hotel consists of several towers, the tallest of which has 35 stories. The court yard entry houses a Ghirardelli Chocolate Company store.
There is a Las Vegas Monorail stop at the rear of the property, and a free shuttle to the Harrah's-owned Rio.
[edit] History
It opened in 1973 as the Holiday Casino. When it first opened, the front of the building was a steamboat motif. This caused some to confuse this casino with the off strip Showboat. The property was renamed Harrah's in 1992.
In 1997, Harrah's purchased the property. During that year's renovation, they removed the old theme and replaced it with a carnival party theme. They extended the 35 story tower by adding 986 rooms.
