Are drinks at the Harrhas Casino free like in Vegas or AC?
Drinks at HarrahsGooood question!! Anxiously awaiting replies. :)
Drinks at HarrahsYes they are, just tip the waiter/waitress.
They are free, but not like in Las Vegas in that instead of a bottle of beer for example you are served a small glass of beer, and tiny mixed drinks that aren%26#39;t very strong at all.
IrishFan, I have to disagree. I have been to Harrahs New Orleans 4 times in the past year and was served bottled beer every time. This included domestics and imports. The mixed drinks were typical of any comped casino drinks: weak unless you tip the waitress and ask for doubles.
Just back from a long weekend at Harrah%26#39;s NOLA and cocktail service is way better than in Vegas - very frequent visit%26#39;s by servers. I primarily drink water when I play, but plenty of people around me were having mixed drinks and beer in bottles. At busy times, besides the regular servers, they have a server pushing what looks like a big cart filled with ice and bottles of just beer and water, so in addition to the regular cocktail service, you can get quicker service if you%26#39;re looking for either one of these.
Better than Vegas, that%26#39;s some good news...Get a buzz for free then head to Bourbon street
Alright, alright, you%26#39;ve all convinced me. Harrah%26#39;s and a semi free buzz is on the agenda. :-)
And on the weekends by the cashier%26#39;s booth, they have bottles of ice-cold water for your taking. Coming this weekend for a week. Can%26#39;t wait!!!!
Bumping this up for an update...spent a few hours in Harrah%26#39;s over the past weekend. The reason for the different responses on drinks is because what you get to drink depends on your playing level.
As a regular ';low roller'; guy I was informed I could only order bottles of Miller High Life and...maybe Miller Lite? Can%26#39;t recall what the second beer choice was but I don%26#39;t care for either one. Otherwise limited to draft small glasses of other beers like Heineken, Bud, etc.
I specifically asked about imports and was told Heineken was it.
It also depends on the employee; Friday afternoon I was served pint glasses of Heineken at the bar playing video poker, Sunday night, same bar with another bartender it was only the small glasses for ';gold'; players, and the bartender was checking not only the player cards of people asking for bottled beer but also looking for ID to match.
Attempts to tip a bit more with the cocktail waitress out on the floor in order to get bottled beers were not successful, it was a ';sorry guys, they%26#39;re really watching what we serve'; thing.
I have never had this problem. I have been to Harrah%26#39;s in New Orleans 42 times since September 2001 and have never been asked to show my card to indicate to them my level of play. Very strange. Maybe this is something new due to the economy.
