HOTEL: As mentioned, the hotel is nothing but suites, and very pricey ones at that-I was quoted over $500 for a two-night stay. It is the only casino in Louisiana that is not on a riverboat, Indian reservation or horse track. The casino is located right in the heart of downtown New Orleans, across the street from the Riverwalk and about 6 blocks from Bourbon St. The casino was apparently damaged and closed for a few months after Hurricane Katrina, but it has been very well renovated and there is no evidence of any damage at all. Well, actually, I'm still in New Orleans right now, but it's raining extremely hard and I don't feel like leaving my hotel right now, so I decided to go ahead and write this review of Harrah's.īACKGROUND: According to Wikipedia, Harrah's New Orleans casino opened in 1999, with the attached all-suite hotel opening a few years later. Hi everyone! I'm taking a little trip across the country for the next few weeks and stopping in various nearby casinos along the way.
