It has the diluted 1-30, 1-150 and 1-30 payouts and not the traditional, beefier payouts I had seen at Harrah’s Reno. I was told that the change to the All, Tall and Small occurred only two weeks ago. Of some note is that NONE of the craps tables at both Harrah’s and Harvey’s have Fire Bets anymore.

Straw Hat has good breakfast options and serves a choice of sandwiches along with pizza. My choice is usually either the coffee show at the basement of Harrah’s or Straw Hat Pizza in Harvey’s. Dinner and the people at our table, however, were enjoyable.Īt Harrah’s and Harvey’s there are a bunch of steakhouse options but somewhat limited choices for regular restaurants which take Reward Credits or can be charged to the room. 21 prizes spread over hundreds of guests were not great odds. There was also some drawings of five $500 Southwest gift cards, five $500 in free play, five $1000 in SW gift cards, $1000 in free play with ONE gift of a cruise or $5000 in free play. The head cook from Austria – Klaus – who sounded a LOT like Arnold Schwarzenegger, gave a cooking demonstration on each course. There was about 400 people, open bar and four course meal featuring both filet mignon and salmon. Later that evening, we attended the “Cooking with (Santa) Klaus Holiday Dinner” at the second floor of Harrah’s. I had a 20% off with my Seven Stars card. On Saturday afternoon, I had a 50 minute massage at the Harrah’s spa. I still never have never hit a royal for more than $1 denominations in my whole life. I also had a triple play four to royal with the associated frustrating results below. One time I was playing $5 JOB 9/6 and you can see the result. I had several occasions to drawing four to a royal. We largely converted the free play into the equivalent $. $1,000 of that was from the 120,000 in Rewards Credits I was issued for paying my own way to Vegas a few weeks ago on a solo Seven Stars annual retreat trip – which I only received after that trip.

I don’t want to give a blow by blow description but the reason I took this trip now was to cash in free play totaling $2,300 for my wife and I. After check-in we ate seafood at the Friday’s Station restaurant in the top floor of Harrah’s. We were put in a non-suite, but we were fine with that since it was only the two of us. Last weekend my wife and I flew from Silicon Valley to Reno Friday night then caught the casino limo to Harrah’s Lake Tahoe.
