The entrance is inconvenient to load your luggage. The room was not clean. Soap scum in the tub. We ate at Guy Fieri's restiraunt which did not have our first selection in stock, when their menue has around ten options. The adult beverages were weak, the silverware was filthy, and the price was very high for the small quantity of food. My girlfriend could not eat her chicken sandwich. My sandwich was good but not great for the price. The.server asked how our meals were, so my girlfriend was honest. He was very avcomdating and didn't charge us. We didn't ask him to that. It was nice of him to not charge us.

This is where things get weird. He brought us a reciept with the total and a line for a tip, but we had not given him a card before we received it. I handed him the card to charge the bill, which he disappeared with for a few minutes. He brought back bill, which I filled out before we went back to our room. Minutes later, the manager and security were beating on our door attempting to intimidate us, claiming our meal was not paid for.

We explained that the server took our card, and the manager (who didn't witness that transaction) corrected us saying we were lying.

Funny how it works. They acted overzealous and harassing. She was ignorant to the situation. Yet condescending and disrespectful

The security guard told me he knew we didn't try to dine and dash and told a story where he chased a guy that ran, due to their mistake, because he had paid and he pointed out we weren't running.

My girlfriend and I are not easily intimidated, and we were polite but more aggressive than the people who tried to intimidate us. The security guard was stern but polite. The resteraunt manager was rude, refused to believe our account of theincident, and had the audacity to taint and provoke us. She refused to ask her server why he took our card, and claimed we were lying..

They have cameras everywhere. I think some one should look ar the footage because she basically accused us if lying and stealing. Pathetic. We were trearlted like lower life forms. Never coming back. The worst experience I have ever had at a...

Unfortunately, Harrah's is not the place to stay if you are not a gambler!

We were working at another hotel in downtown Omaha, Nebraska but, they did not have parking spaces for semi trailers so we were forced to stay elsewhere. We chose the casino, thinking it would be a good place, offering Recreation and, a pleasant visit.

Unfortunately, the only Recreation here is the casino. There are two restaurants within, the 360 Steakhouse which is only open Wednesday to Sunday. And Guy Fieri's restaurant which offers a limited menu. Delicious and GREAT service but, difficult if you are on a special diet, as I am.

There are not, as far as I can see, any locations nearby that are within walking distance for other options. There isn't even a snack center at the front desk or on each floor a vending machine. It is very clear, management or ownership wants you to use their restaurants exclusively!

We also had sort of anticipated that there would at least be a pool or hot tub available for guests. There are none, so I decided to go for a stroll outside and find some place to sit and enjoy the nice weather and the green lawns...

Uh oh! No benches anywhere except by the front door! What's the deal Harrah's? There aren't even benches on each floor if you want to sit near the window just to be alone for a few moments.

Apparently, the people in the adjoining room must have made a big win because, they returned to their room around midnight and were talking very loudly on the other side of the adjoining door, very excited about something. This excitement and Loud talking did not end until 3:00 a.m. too bad we had to work at 5:00 a.m. and did not get sleep that night! The beds are extremely comfortable, it would have been great to actually sleep. (See that silver lining right there? 😇😅)

I would probably not stay here again given that detail. The only place to sit and relax was in our room or at a restaurant.

Very disappointed, the price we paid should have given more accommodations for the introverts in the crowd.

No pictures, I'm...

My 22-year old daughter and I attempted to visit the casino with friends on May 1st, 2021. Apparently, the casino had just implemented a "new" policy requiring two forms of identification for entry into the casino. (Although there is NO mention of this policy on their website, so we had no idea about the requirement.) I'm not sure what the minimum age is for this new policy, but if a visitor appears old enough to bypass the identification process, a security guard appears and barks out directions: "You three! Pull your mask down and look at the guard. You can go through!" One young adult that was with us and gained entrance said, "I felt like I was being interrogated!" My daughter was denied entrance to the casino, so we asked the security officer if he could give us walking directions to the Ameristar Casino, which is located nearby. He recommended we follow the bike path that runs between the two casinos. We confidently left the casino through one of the back doors & promptly found ourselves in a sparsely populated parking area at the rear of the building. It was 11:00 at night, so outside the parking area was very dark. The bike path was located on the perimeter of the parking area, was unlit and lined by trees on one side. To follow the path, we would have had to walk under a train trestle in pitch darkness & continue walking for ONE MILE. Although I am rarely apprehensive about things, I decided it was not safe for us to continue. My question is: What kind of person would - without hesitation - send two women out to walk a mile in the dark at that time of night? Obviously not a person that was concerned for the well-being of anybody. Our entire experience was far from welcoming & frankly, I found the recommendation for us to walk the bike path to the other casino to...

Check in at the hotel was fast and easy. Friendly service at the front desk. My favorite employee of the trip was the blonde lady who rode down the elevator with us after we ate at the steakhouse. Didn’t catch her name but she went out of her way to inquire about our stay and insure we were having a good time. She was too nice for us to tell her the truth about how disappointing the rest of our stay was. Caesar’s rewards counter guy was rude when he refused to give my friend his Diamond card back after informing him he had lost his Diamond status. You’d think someone who’s proven they’re willing to be a Diamond stays in your establishment would deserve decent enough treatment so as to desire regaining that status. Many of the kiosks were out of order. Limited table games available. Dark dreary casino floor atmosphere. Best experience at the casino was the security guard checking IDs at entrance. He was very welcoming. Hotel room had overwhelming smell of smoke and possibly weed. Seriously seemed like it was still hazy in there as if someone had just been in there smoking before we entered. Pillows on bed are the size of throw pillows. Strange. Mattress was fantastic though. Very comfortable. We didn’t ask for a different room because we decided not to stay. Called it an early night after a fantastic meal in the 360 steakhouse upstairs and we just went home to Minneapolis. If it wasn’t for the restaurant we might not come back. I would give a 2star review but the 4 employees we encountered who were fantastic deserve better than that. Anini in the restaurant was a great server. I think that is how to spell his name.

Read my other hotel reviews. I don't give low reviews... But this place is pretty rough for trying to charge over $200 a night when Ameristar up the street is cheaper and nicer and we aren't in NYC. #1 the older lady checking us in initially couldn't seem more annoyed anyone dared check in. Do NOT let them give you a 2nd floor room... They reek of cigarettes from the casino. My mom got stuck in one. My room had feces on the toilet and the tub was rusty and grimey looking. Caesars definitely needs to update these 80's looking rooms. The younger lady at the front desk made sure to give me a cleaner room and was much nicer. I will say the beds are super comfortable but they have these abnormally small pillows especially with the king sized bed, almost like they were for a Twin sized bed. They are still doing construction of what I understand to be a Guy Fieries Restaurant so the only non Steakhouse restaurant is Slices which isn't terrible but after 10p they literally only sell slices so hope you're in a pizza mood (their chicken tenders and Italian steak sandwich are good though). This casino is super small, looks bigger from the outside but it's half of the first floor and that's it. So finding a good open machine can be dicey on a weekend evening. Would definitely recommend staying at Ameristar or a regular hotel and just come to gamble until they are done with construction to see if it's a better experience.

The worst place to stay for my wife and myself. ONE person checking guests in for their stay. My wife is disabled. Her biggest issue is that she needs five liters of oxygen to breathe, and since January of 2013. We have stayed in many places and have flown many times with oxygen. On July 2, 2023, we walked into the hotel front door to be met by a "hotel lobby" that consisted of basic carpeting and no furniture! There was ONE electrical outlet in the lobby. My wife sat on that carpet next to thew electrical outlet, the only one visible in the lobby and remember not even one chair. Others waited to get their room as well. Almost two hours went by before we could get a room. My wife on portable oxygen unit (NOT the big one in the picture below) and the battery was at zero percent. It was sit on carpet with portable plugged in so she could breathe. Never mind that she was also the ONE person everyone stared at in passing. As to our room? One four slot outlet on the wall. Sadly, two extension cords had to be used so that power and oxygen flowed through the night as my wife wears CPAP at night. Eight pieces of equipment to plug in. Hotel clerk shouldhave called for someone to bring in a chair for my wife, at the very least! Do NOT stay here!
