Nice wine selection. Friendly people. And some good deals.
Well it totally sucks now. Its sad to see the girls that have worked there for years say the same thing.

I loved the wine cellar as well. Fabulous collection with barrels full of low priced wines. Perfect to grab one and take it back to the room! They also did Scotch tastings and had a good sized selection of single malts. Removing the scotch was one of the first casualties of Harrahs ownership.

The reward system that Harrahs uses is great for low end gamblers. They do offer lots of room deals and free shows in addition to the comps. The atmosphere of the places though is so much less personal that I don't enjoy it. I also gamble so infrequently and for so few minutes that it is not enough to bother with the reward card.
