Harrahs Casino

First I can say that this place was really nice. My usual casinos are in Oklahoma and those were quite Smoky compared to this. It was very clean and you didn’t necessarily smell everyone smoking around you I didn’t feel like I was sitting in an ashtray. All the dealers were super friendly and the customer service was great. My only downside is that the table service for drinks was quite slow. However I understand since it is a really big Casino so I can’t fault them for that. Overall it was a great experience and everyone was super helpful. If I’m ever in New Orleans again this is a must stop

I don’t gamble and I don’t like gambling. I’d go because my friends wanted to. Surprisingly, I didn’t hate it. It was nice and best of all it’s non– smoking. I hate places with smoking, it makes me cough and give me a headache. They also have ACME in here if y’all want to eat something else beside the buffet. We came here 2 nights in a row because my friends actually had fun. I didn’t mind it. Just stand around, people watching. lol yea I creeped.

We stopped by this casino a few times during our trip. My boyfriend and I just like to play the slots at about $ 20 each trip. We usually play each machine until we are down $ 5 and move on. The first time we were here we had good drink service but the other couple of times we stopped by it was much slower and a few times never came at all or tried to give me a different drink. Overall, I think this a nice casino, as far as slots go.

Came in while waiting for the ferry. Cool casino. Black jack slots friendly staff and NO smoking of any kind! THANK YOU.

I was so excited to play some of my favorite Vegas-​style games while I was in N.O. — I was pretty disappointed! I spent about 30 minutes in the casino, played at a few different machines. I won NOTHING, was offered NOTHING (drinks), was talked to by NO Harrah’s staff… not impressed, so wouldn’t recommend.

I appreciate that this is a smoke-​free casino. I spent more time and money than usual because my eyes weren’t stinging and my hair and clothing doesn’t smell like a dirty ashtray. I hope more casinos follow their lead.

Never got a drink even though I spread myself around and you cannot have a drag inside the casino or as the English say… no fags allowed

Not Atlantic City or Vegas. The Casino despite its security monitoring the doors has a bi issue with homeless people getting into the hotel and begging people at machines.
I counted 17 times I was approached by a homeless person. Although I understand their needs, it’s not what I need to deal with when I am in a casino.
Staff are very friendly but something to bear in mind when you go here…
Listen and see if you hear any cheering or machines ringing with winners. I love to throw money at a casino with the best of them and know I’m losing out in the long term… but this casino doesn’t payout half as much as Vegas or AC.

After a long night of imbibing on Bourbon street, I was drunkie and had a craving for a slice of pecan pie.
We searched the streets, asking anyone who would talk to us, where can we find pecan pie ?
Just when I thought all hope was lost, the sweet lady at our hotel, The St. James, mentioned they’d most likely have it here at this Casino, so off we went.
We did find it. It was served in a cardboard pouch like the ones they use at McDonald’s. It tasted the same as well. Bön appetite !
Did I mention I despise gambling?

This is the first casino I’ve been at so I did not know what to expect except the preconceived notions from most movies and television shows. Upon entering I was expecting a little security to get in and as I thought there were two girls who were manning the ID machine to make sure people with fake IDs were trying to get in. We went in and went straight to the roulette and put all our money on red. While everyone laughed, we had a good feeling and as luck would have it we won. After collecting our cash we walked around and observed the actual casino to see what it was like. The décor was nice and clean with constant people roaming around and restaurants trying to get people to buy food. After leaving I thought i smelled something funny, but then I realized it was just broken dreams and sad tears. I would definitely come again.

I have never been inside a casino that smelled this good! This is a non-​smoking casino and it smells wonderful. Not even a musty smell from anything. I don’t know what freshener they use but it works! All doors are watched as we noted a guy trying to come in an exit door and there was someone right there to tell him no, use the other doors. The casino was spotless as well. Nice place.

Wow a smoke free casino! No smoking or vaping allowed. The casino is clean. There are lot of places to eat and drink within the casino. Acme Oyster House, Besh Steak, Fuddruckers, Harrah’s New Orleans Hotel, Hoodoo Cocktail Lounge, Masquerade, McAlister’s Deli, Starbuck’s Coffee, and The Buffet at Harrah’s. There are table games, poker tables, and modern slot machines. Since today is a weekday it wasn’t crowded at all. So many lights and sounds. I love it. Every minute of it. Let’s play Craps!!!

This casino is spacious and has many options for gaming and tables. Cool place to hang out and make time waiting for a tour since it’s close to the steamboat and bus tours. It is also a nice post dinner hangout.

If I can deter even one person from coming here, I’m happy. Last night, my husband was pick pocketed right on the casino steps AS AN EMPLOYEE watched! When he brought it up to management, they did not care one bit. They ushered him aside and told him to wait for the police. Eventually, they even threw him out because he was (understandably) upset. He was able to file a police report, thankfully. Needless to say, we will never be returning here due to the horrifying staff.
I understand NOLA can sometimes be a sketchy place, but we’ve been here so many times and have never felt this kind of fear, violation and neglect. How is there NO security at the doors of your establishment? You are responsible for the welfare of your guests! And what is the purpose of the employee standing guard … to oversee all the illegal activity occurring outside without lending a hand or calling the police? I would advise everyone to stay as far away as possible from this place.

My most favorite casino of all time. Easily accessible. I like that there is No smoking here. That is huge for me because I hate smelling that stuff on me, my hands, clothes, etc. This casino is extremely clean, and the slots are super fun and modern. The staff is friendly and smiles a lot :) We had already eaten, so I didn’t get to try any of the restaurants. I wasn’t offered any drinks at the slots, but that’s ok. I needed to be on my A game for Wheel of Fortune anyways. They offered BT lots of drinks at the tables. I like to think that Harrah’s represents life. You win sometimes, but mostly you lose. Which was my experience here. Lol. But I had a lot of fun here and that’s what matters, right? :-/

The only reason I didn’t give a 5 is that I never got a drink while sitting at a slot machine. In Vegas you’re asked every 5minutes if you want a drink.
Thanksgiving Buffet $ 31.99 with rewards card. Music in Masquerade was loud and fun! What a club-it’s a yes!

Many people give casinos a bad review when they lose money. Guess what? It’s call gambling, NOT welfare. They don’t handout money here.
I’ve always had a good time at Harrah’s. The service is good and the games are fun. Remember, it’s just entertainment. You don’t come here trying to get money for your rent and food.
That said, I usually win. The tables pay pretty well, stat away from the slots.
Will RTE.

I don’t get all the one and two star reviews of this casino, but oh well. I love the fact that this entire property was non-​smoking, five stars alone for that.
It does get super cold in there, I think my husband caught a cold from walking around in the heat then playing in the freezing casino floor with me. They probably have the thermostat set at 65 degrees, it sure felt like that the whole time we were there (and we made a visit there every day since our hotel was right next door).
I have nothing to complain about this place. It never got crowded like I would have expected, so finding a slot machine to play on didn’t come hard since there were more than enough to choose from. Lucky me won a few times, enough to pay for all our meals and some shopping for the four nights we stayed in New Orleans!
They have some food options here, but we didn’t dine at any of them since we wanted to explore some of the local eats that we had bookmarked to try. Good to know that they’re open ²⁴⁄₇ though in case you have the munchies at three in the morning and have limited options on where to dine.
Overall, it was a fun time. I won more than I lost, but as long as I had fun, that’s all that matters. Their hotel is across the street, so if you’re thinking about booking your lodging at this property, keep in mind that you have to either take the underground tunnel (which I just learned from a fellow Unilocaler!) or cross the street to actually go to the casino floor and gamble.
Good luck!

Harrah’s is hit or miss. Don’t get me wrong, its absolutely stunning both inside and out… but the tables can be a bit of a bust. My fiancé went in and played during the late evening and won a good bit of money, it was fun. Came back a couple of days later during the day and the mood had completely shifted and we lost that same bit of money in less than 10 minutes. Appreciated that it was a smoke free environment and that everyone was so friendly. Celebrated our newly engaged status at Harrahs and for that, I give it 4 stars!

I had to lower my expectation, way lower. What happened to the party vibe and excitement from 2005? It’s true the old saying nothing stays the same. I stopped in last night and was totally underwhelmed. I am not the person to rate 3 stars but I must comment that we were here less than an hour, and thought it was going to be a night of fun. There are tons of slots cause who doesn’t play slots? All penny slot machines. Oh lord Jesus. To find out that the time of comp cocktails like Vegas has gone by the wayside which explains why the place is half empty. You have to order your $ 4 cocktail on the tedious mini screen located above the slot payout window. We wakes over to the bar to get a simple vodka lemonade to find out a Dixie cup sized drink is $ 9. Get me outta here. I spent over $ 100 in an hour. The casino won!
