Located right in the middle of the action at the center of the Strip, Harrah's Hotel and Casino is a fun, Carnaval-themed casino that offers a multitude of gaming and entertainment options. And it's a neighbor to the famous Mirage volcano. On any day, Harrah's offers a half-dozen or more shows, which include singer Clint Holmes ("The Voice of Las Vegas") and the comedy magic of Mac King. Harrah's 86,654-square-foot casino features nickel to $500 slots, 300 video poker machines, 70 game tables, 24-hour live keno, and a race and sports book. Seven restaurants tempt tastebads with various dining options, including Café Andreotti's Italian specialities and the Garden Café's gourmet coffees, sandwiches, salads, fajitas, fettuccini, poultry and seafood. What's more, the outdoor Carnaval Court Bar and Grill not only offers daily, live entertainment, but some of the world's best "flair bartenders." The high-energy Carnaval Court is the large, open-air area between Harrah's and the Imperial Palace, and serves as a popular casual nightspot with gaming tables, live music, beer and food vendors.

Guestrooms include double soundproofed walls and blackout drapes for a peaceful night's rest. Amenities include 24-hour room service, pay movies, video games and minibars. Guests can take dips in the Olympic- size swimming pool and sunbath on the large sundeck. A spa offers aromatherapy and Swedish massage, European facials, and body scrubs and wraps. Guests can work out at the health club, with cardiovascular and weight- training equipment, saunas, steam room and spa tubs.

Harrah's attracts families seeking a diverse range of activities and entertainment as well as singles and young couples visiting Las Vegas for gambling and nightlife.
