When asked which unique characteristics made Harrah’s superior to local competitors, Stanford Le, Marketing Director for Harrah’s Laughlin, responded, “Harrah’s is the ‘total package. While it already tops the list of Laughlin casinos from a service, comfort, and level of luxury standpoint, three items that really sets Harrah’s apart are the Total Rewards program, entertainment, and amenities. The Total Rewards program allows guests to redeem room, food, and show offers at any one of more than 40 properties all over the world.”  Le’s claims about superior entertainment and amenities are substantiated by numerous awards for “Best Casino and Hotel” consistently awarded by Casino Player Magazine, Strictly Slots Magazine, and Nevada Magazine.

Le had this to say about which games are most advantageous to novice gamblers on a limited budget: “I think I’ve been asked this question about a million times, but have answered it a million different ways. The answer is, ‘It depends!’  Do you enjoy people cheering for you (or sometimes against you) as you roll the dice? If that thrills you, craps is your game. If you’re more a solitary soul who prefers to sit and have an occasional side conversation while having a beverage server bring you drinks, slots are always a welcome past time. You can always try blackjack – you need only be able to count to 21. Even better, you can always try roulette, where you can just pick between three colors (red, black, or green, if you really feel lucky).  Whatever you choose, we usually have a friendly employee who would be more than happy to strike up a conversation about a game, especially if you come in during a less busy time of day. We also offer poker instruction daily at 9 a.m. if you feel like learning when to hold’em or fold’em in a World Series of Poker environment.”
