Harrah's Resort Atlantic City is the Caesars Entertainment casino in the Marina District, at 777 Harrah's Boulevard. It rates 3.9 from around 23,500 Google reviewers, the lowest rating of the city's nine casinos but still a solid score on a large sample.
Harrah's is a big, practical, slot-heavy resort with one of the city's two notable poker rooms. It is popular with regulars from Philadelphia and South Jersey, and it is easy to reach by car. It is less polished than its neighbour Borgata.
Setting expectations
Like Borgata and Golden Nugget, Harrah's is in the Marina District, away from the Boardwalk and the beach. You will drive or take the jitney to the Boardwalk casinos.
A 3.9 is not a warning sign on a sample this large, but it does put Harrah's at the practical end of the city's range rather than the luxury end. If you are visiting to play rather than to stay, the hotel side of the reviews matters less.
Ownership may change. As of October 2026, Caesars Entertainment has agreed to be acquired by Fertitta Entertainment, which owns Golden Nugget across the road. Caesars shareholders approved the deal in September 2026, and New Jersey regulators were reviewing it at the time of writing.
What's on the floor
Slots. Harrah's has one of the larger slot floors in the city, with a wide range of denominations, video poker and a high-limit room. Slots are the heart of the property.
Tables. Blackjack, craps, roulette, baccarat and the carnival poker games. As everywhere in the city, minimums are usually lower on weekdays than on weekend nights.
Poker. Harrah's runs a poker room that, as of early 2026, was one of only three operating in Atlantic City, alongside Borgata and Tropicana. It is mainly a cash-game room, with periodic tournament series including World Series of Poker Circuit stops, which returned to Harrah's for the 2025–26 season. Table counts vary between listings, so call ahead.
Sports betting. Harrah's has a retail sportsbook.
Dining
Harrah's has more restaurants than most visitors expect.
- Gordon Ramsay Steak — the property's headline steakhouse, with dry-aged beef.
- McCormick & Schmick's — seafood.
- La Strada at the Shore — Italian.
- Bobby's Burgers by Bobby Flay — burgers.
- Chicken Guy! — Guy Fieri's chicken-tender counter.
- Coastal Craft Kitchen & Bar, Pin-up Pizza, AC Burger Co. & Deli and a Noodle Bar for casual meals.
- Café Tazza and Starbucks for coffee.
Tips before you go
You must be 21 to gamble at any Atlantic City casino.
Join Caesars Rewards. Harrah's, Caesars and Tropicana share the program, so points earned here count across all three.
Go midweek for the poker room. Weekend evenings and tournament-series weeks are busy. If you want a quick seat at a cash game, a weekday afternoon is your best chance.
Check in early or use mobile check-in if you are staying on a weekend.
Plan transport to the Boardwalk. A rideshare or the Atlantic City Jitney is easier than driving and parking twice.
Smoking. As of October 2026, Atlantic City casinos still allow smoking in designated sections. Ask staff where the non-smoking areas are.
Getting there
By car, the Atlantic City Expressway runs into the city from Philadelphia and South Jersey, and the Garden State Parkway connects from North Jersey and New York. The Marina District is at the bay side of the city, reached by the connector road from the Expressway, so you can arrive without driving through the centre of town. Harrah's has a large self-park garage and valet.
Without a car, NJ Transit trains and buses serve Atlantic City from Philadelphia and North Jersey. From the station or bus terminal, a rideshare or the Atlantic City Jitney is the simplest way to reach the Marina District, which is not walkable from the Boardwalk.
Who it suits
Harrah's suits slot players, Caesars Rewards members and cash-game poker players who want an alternative to the busier Borgata room. Its car-friendly location makes it a regular stop for day-trippers from Philadelphia and South Jersey.
It is a weaker fit if you want a walkable Boardwalk trip or a polished luxury stay.
Compared with Borgata next door, Harrah's is more practical and less upscale, with a smaller poker room and a lower rating. Compared with Golden Nugget across the road, it is larger and busier, with a longer restaurant list.
Nearby
Borgata is Harrah's nearest neighbour and runs the city's largest poker room. Golden Nugget Atlantic City is across the road on the marina.
On the Boardwalk, the Caesars Rewards sister properties are Caesars Atlantic City and Tropicana Atlantic City. Ocean Casino Resort, Hard Rock, Resorts and Bally's complete the list.
