About Harrah's Las Vegas Casino and Hotel: This older, 2,500-room property lacks new-Vegas sheen, but it offers reasonable rates, a plum mid-Strip location, and all the gambling perks (through the Total Rewards program) that make the Harrah’s franchise so popular.
Pre-show dining: At Harrah's, upscale choices include the Range (for dry-aged steaks and a rare view of the Strip), and the Oyster Bar at Penazzi for fresh seafood. Find casual fare at Toby Keith's I Love This Bar & Grill and the Flavors Buffet.
