I am writing to express my profound dissatisfaction with my recent stay at Harrah’s, which was marked by significant operational failures, poor communication, and substandard accommodations that fell far short of professional expectations.
I attended a conference at your property, with my employer sending a check to cover my hotel costs. In an effort to ensure a smooth experience, I proactively contacted Harrah’s via phone and email for a week and a half prior to my arrival. Each representative assured me that any issues with the payment would be resolved upon check-in. However, upon arrival, I was informed that the check—received three weeks prior—had been returned, and no record of it could be located. This critical information was never conveyed to me during my multiple interactions with your staff.
When I escalated the matter, the manager’s response was utterly dismissive. They offered no empathy or accountability, instead attributing the error to another department and reiterating the six-week policy, which I was never informed of despite my diligent efforts. This lack of professionalism and failure to take responsibility for internal miscommunication is unacceptable and reflects poorly on your establishment.
Furthermore, the quality of the accommodations was deeply disappointing for the price paid. While you can tell the staff put in the effort to clean the room, the bedding was of low quality, the furniture was visibly damaged with noticeable dings, and the carpets were stained. Noise from neighboring rooms, including knocking from three to four doors away, disrupted my stay. The overpowering lobby scent, presumably used to mask smoke from the slot machine area, was unpleasant and detracted from the overall experience.
Given the egregious lapses in customer service, mismanagement of payment processes, and subpar accommodations, I am compelled to state that I will not return to Harrah’s for future visits to Las Vegas. I strongly urge you to address these systemic issues to prevent other guests from enduring similar frustrations. I expect a response acknowledging this matter and outlining steps to rectify the situation.
