The hype
Great pool and decent food, but the rooms are a gamble depending on which tower you get.
Harrah's Resort Atlantic City Hotel & Casino
$89-299/ noche
Reserva esto si You're here to party at The Pool After Dark and want to stumble back to your room without a cab ride.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- The Pool is a legitimate tropical oasis under a massive glass dome
- Gordon Ramsay Steak delivers consistently excellent high-end dining
- Waterfront Tower rooms offer solid modern comfort away from the casino floor noise
Resumen rápido: A tale of two hotels: a fun, tropical party resort in the Marina District attached to a facility struggling with serious cleanliness and maintenance consistency.
Reseñado por @viklena: I stayed in this Marina Tower suite and honestly, having a separate living room changed the whole trip. It’s huge, quiet, and the perfect crash pad after hitting the tables. Definitely check if you have Caesars rewards for an upgrade!
Lo que dijeron los huéspedes que se hospedaron aquí
Reality check
The 'resort fee' feels like an insult when you're waiting 45 minutes for check-in and the hallway smells like weed.
- You are planning a bachelor/bachelorette party
- You want a club experience without leaving your hotel
- You have Caesars Diamond status to skip the check-in lines
Limpieza y Mantenimiento
4
- Housekeeping: Inconsistent. Many reports of 'missed' rooms and having to beg for fresh towels.
- Bathroom hygiene: High risk area. Watch for mold in the grout and hair in the drains, especially in older towers.
- Maintenance: Struggling. Peeling wallpaper, broken USB ports, and leaky faucets are common complaints.
- Linens & towels: Generally clean in Waterfront, but 'stained' and 'worn' are frequent descriptors in Laguna/Coastal reviews.
- Odors & scents: Heavy marijuana odor is a pervasive complaint in hallways and elevators, despite non-smoking policies.

Antes de reservar
Es bueno saberlo
- The 'Pool' turns into a nightclub at night; you need a ticket or cover charge even if you're a guest.
- Self-parking is ~$15/stay, but Valet is ~$30/day and can back up significantly.
- There is a free shuttle to Caesars and Tropicana for rewards members, but it runs on a schedule.
Qué llevar
- Lysol wipes (seriously, wipe down the surfaces)
- Earplugs for the hallway noise
- Bathing suit cover-up (you have to walk through the casino to get to the pool)

Preguntas frecuentes y consejos ocultos
Todo lo que realmente quieres saber antes de reservar.
Is the pool free for guests?
Yes, during the day (usually Mon-Fri is free, weekends may have a fee or strict capacity). At night, it becomes a club with a cover charge.
Can I walk to the Boardwalk?
No. It's a 10-minute drive through highway tunnels. You need a car, Uber ($15+), or the Jitney ($3).
Is Harrah's pet friendly?
Yes, but only in specific 'PetStay' rooms (mostly Laguna Tower). Fee is ~$50-75/night. Max 2 dogs up to 50lbs.
Does the room come with a fridge?
Most renovated rooms (Waterfront/Bayview) have a small cooler/fridge, but it's often full of warm air. Don't count on it for perishable food.
Is there a microwave?
No microwaves in standard rooms. There is a communal one in the self-service vending areas of some towers, but it's hit-or-miss.
What is the resort fee?
Expect to pay around $31.80 per night (tax inclusive), which covers basic WiFi and gym access.
Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
The 'Eden Lounge' offers a much more chill vibe with live music if the pool club is too intense for you.
- ✨
Skip the hotel breakfast line and drive 5 minutes to 'Gilchrist Restaurant' at Gardner's Basin for legendary blueberry hotcakes.
- ✨
If the self-check-in kiosks are broken (often), go straight to the VIP line if you have *any* tier status above Gold; they usually wave you through.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The walk from the parking garage to the Waterfront Tower is a literal hike—wear comfortable shoes.
💡The 'Family Pool' is often closed or has weird hours; do not book this hotel for the kids' pool.
💡You can hear the seagulls screaming at dawn if you're on a high floor facing the bay.
💡The 'PetStay' rooms in Laguna Tower can have a lingering 'wet dog' smell that housekeeping spray doesn't cover.
💡Room service is virtually non-existent; it's mostly takeout delivery from the downstairs restaurants.
